    April 6, 2010 at 1:05 pm in reply to: Its Become An Obsession

    Sometimes I multitasking and pole and cook dinner or pole and bathe kids lol.

    Ok Sissy, you are now my new hero! Talk about being the queen of multitasking.

    Im all about a fair balance, I see it as if he spends so much time on racing (he will watch everything related to nascar), then I can spend that amount of equal time w/pole related stuff (here, YT, studio, editing my stuff etc).

    So I figure if hes watching a max of 3 races every weekend (avg of 3hrs each), qualifiying, practicing, happy hour that comes out to 12-15hrs a week during race season (a season is about 40w I would know I had a pregnancy that was w/in that timeframe as well). Between reading at my lunch break at work, pole/gym for an average week thats about 8-10hrs; when our oldest isnt in school it could be as close as his. So I dont see where the crazy obsession lies. I love hockey but I dont give up my life to watch the game when I can get stats on my phone (unless its an important game like tonight eventhough weve already gotten the Southeast Div done – yep, im a crazy hardcore Washington Caps fan). But sometimes I feel bad b/c I dont get alot of time to watch everyones videos + comment or read blogs from some of you and be able to comment while everyone has time to watch me and see what I do/type.

    Pole tricks are kinda like boobs. Some like big ones, some like small ones, some like interestingly shaped ones, some like average ones, but in the end of the day, they’re all boobs and they are all good.

    can I use this as my status update on facebook??? I LOVE IT!

    To me the teddy is like an areial OBGYN visit, yes it takes some strength but its just odd. I cannot stand non pointed toes. After all my years in dance, gymnastics and cheerleading, its imbeded in me to constantly point my toes.

    I love a performer who has that equal mix of amazing tricks, fluid movements and just enough sexiness to keep you locked in for the entire performance. Im all about balance!

    Lu, I’d say it’s time to invest in the pole, put it in the living room directly in front of the television (between nascar and the couch) and watch the kids as you pole.

    I love your answer! I would of gotten the Xpole for xmas but the MINI came first when we thought it was just the clutch that need to be replaced. Now I have to spend my Uncle Sam cash on the car, give him $ to get tires on his car that im driving and dump the rest into the paying off the house. so hopefully by the begining of summer.

    I agree Sissy, its gotta be an insecurity thing, or one of his stupid ego power trips he goes on. As much as id love to have a mediator, he wont go for it. He thinks that ‘why spend $ to see someone just to be told the husband is at fault for all of this’ (again, we need a wallbash smiley). When I go to the gym or pole its always late in the evening after one kid has gone to bed, or im up and gone before they even get up on the weekends. Thats maybe twice during the week and one weekend morning. Dinner is on the table when he gets home, hes got clean laundry and I clean the house – what more does he want from me??? He would much rather me work a part time job then have a hobby outside of the house.

    Again, wheres the easy button people!!!

    April 5, 2010 at 10:38 am in reply to: Your favorite pole shorts?

    I have a few pairs. My first pair I got from Steve and Barrys before they went under. They are a solid black, they are by Venus (or Serena I really dont remember) Williams, from the line Eleven. I guess they were really designed for tennis but Ive love mine. They help slim out my dreaded double csection pouch. They are tight enough not to gape any where. Another pair I have is a pair of simple Under Armour shorts. The band folds down to show the logo but im not that brave to wear them like that. They are a bit loose in the leg but very comofortable. The final pair is a pair I got off of ebay. I guess being a former cheerleader you get kinda acustom to the shorts. I bought a pair of Redskins "cheer" shorts. They are the same style but in black w/the Redskins logo down one side. I love these shorts, just not enough to wear them to the real gym (lol). I like to wear it w/one of my old school ‘Skins tees, I feel like a total cheerleader when I do that.

    Ive really wanted to try the Under Armour undies and give them a go. Theres an UA outlet right near me and the full price store in Annapolis.

    I have never been to an IKEA actually (shock!horror!) but this place was like a palace – it

    dont worry neither have I. I just need an excuse to go.

    Ive had Jenyne Butterfly in my dream once. It was in the Be Spun studio (mind you I have NEVER been to the west coast) and I was cheering her on and vice versa. it was crazy.

    I still dream about what Pole Convention is gonna be like. thats just madness.

    April 1, 2010 at 5:09 pm in reply to: Getting certified as a pole instructor..?

    VD is a good one, that ran by KT Coates. Im also in a similar situation. I want to teach but I want to get certified. It would be good to have. Climb and Spin is very intensive but does come at a hefty price tag. From what ive heard alot of folks are getting thier group fitness certifcation and then doing a pole fitness cert.

    March 31, 2010 at 1:29 pm in reply to: Pole diary..

    Listening to my music on ipod today loads came to me, music is often inspirational, I can visualise myslf doing amazing moves aha some that I haven’t even mastered yet lol!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif
    Mee too!! I can choreograph a whole song in my head sometimes but then when it comes to it I can’t actually do it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif

    This is 100% me! I thought I was the only one like this. I really should do a diary or even a note or two on my blackberry. there is so much I want to learn and so much im so close to getting but as soon as I hit the studio for pole play, my mind draws a blank. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_shaking.gif

    March 31, 2010 at 1:24 pm in reply to: Inverted crucifix

    I dont know if this will help. When I was working on my Pole Princess routine (you can see that vid by going to my profile), I started out in a crucifix hold to start the routine. I would let the song before it play for a good 30sec before the routine song. I basically had to hold myself up there and force my thighs to squeeze together until the music started. After day after day doing that my crucifix looked so much better and I could hold it better. Maybe forcing the squeeze at a regular crucifix will help during the reversal.

    March 30, 2010 at 2:43 pm in reply to: shoe question

    I bought mine a size down from the street shoe. Since its plastic, its gonna stretch after many times on the pole therefore becoming loose if you buy them in your street size. Also when you go down you know they arent coming off.

    Mine did come off while I was doing floor work, at that point I could of cared less. You can see the vid here on my profile, its under Pole Diva 2010.

    I will be wearing them again for my Apr video.

    March 29, 2010 at 10:23 am in reply to: Do You Let Your SO Watch You Practice?

    considering I dont have a pole at home, its a no. but even if I did have one at home, I wouldnt let him watch me. I get creeped out when he watches me work out at home (one of the reasons I joined the gym as well). We live in such a small space that the pole would have to be put up/taken down every time. I just dont think id like the idea of working on something while hes watching ESPN or doing the dishes. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif

    I was just wondering what I missed…Sissy you have a business? I’m presuming you talked about it elsewhere on the forum but tell us more or direct us to the other thread if there is one!
    I think shes had a blog on it and I know shes brought it up on Fb a few times. Im very excited for you Sissy!

    Jen and Empy – Id love to meet you both there at PC! I know im going, but staying overnight im still trying to convince the hubby that I need to stay all weekend. By then you all can meet Eleanor (my MINI – she will be back by then, shes getting an upgrade transmission style!) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
