Competition Advice
Looking through the judges for Miss Texas Polestar and I am terrified. Couldn’t exactly tell you why….cuz I don’t expect to win….and pole is the least judgemental community anyone could hope/pray/wish/love to be a part of. And I’m only competing at the most amateur or amateur levels…but still…*eep!*

Pantera? Double *eep* after seeing allgold84’s video….she is such a f*&¢!ing force!!! (Not to frickin mention alethea Austin and Michelle stanek…wtf I did not even look at the judges when I signed up….I just wanted to go meet and compete with fellow polers in the area…. *eep!*)
Nervous too cuz I don’t really have a “home studio” like the other girls. I have a studio I go to but they don’t know me over there but I know them cuz I only go once in awhile and it’s always the same people. Y’all I was THISCLOSE to putting studio veena as my home studio…I hope I meet some girls!! Part of the plan though isn’t it? Meeting people just as crazy weird in love with this stuff as each other ^_^
so effing excited and nervous all at the same time. It feels like the first day of school except you know all the girls at school already love the same thing you do
Any competition tips??? The main one I hear is know your choreography EARLY.
Does anyone specifically have….hair extension advice? I’d like do have some just for thickness and not length. Will snug-ly secured clip ins be something I come to regret as they are being flung into the audience?
Hoo-ha’s: how do you keep it secure and camel toe free as possible?
Costumes: what inspired yours? where did you get it? Or did you make it, if so, how? Did they adequately cover your hoo-ha? I can’t do inverts in my routine so it opens a lot of costume options as far as bodysuits/one pieces too.
Makeup: what looks good? What stays PUT
All hard hitting questions! (To freaked to ask the real actual routine related questions yet!)
Oh, and this is texas after all, spray on tan or no spray on tan? Don’t want to blind these folk 😉

I wear clipins at every recital I have done and have no issues

Do you do anything in particular to make sure they stay or just clip em right in and your good to go (I’ve never used then before :/)

Not competent to answer your questions but why do you say you don’t expect to win? There are some videos even on here with “apologies” about themselves yet are truly fantastic. There is one person here who this week posted a Freestyle video on Youtube but it reminded me (although very different) of performances at this year’s Florida Championship and was on par with the top winners in one of the divisions. Granted I am not a judge but think there are many winners who just have yet to compete. Not sure why they have to be convinced but I give you credit for putting yourself out there.

Nope I just clip them in and I am good to go….also for recital I will usually get my lashes done and I am a glitter feen so this past recital I purchased glitter lipstick from graftobian. I have also got my makeup done before too in the mall. With Mac if you buy 30 of product they will do it free but make an appointment. The last recital I purchased the mia sequin shorts from getdancewear.com and they worked really well and a crop top from gojane.com

Also you can add more clip in clips by sewing them in the weft if you want too this will make it extra secure especially if the clipin clips are small

I guess I’m not expecting to win cuz I’ve never been to a competition before and have no idea what to expect! I genuinely don’t know what other girls performances are going to look like (the level I am in this year is a new type of division, they split amateur into amateur and apprentice so there’s no videos to kind of get an idea of what they may be).
So don’t expect to win, but would be cool of I did win! Either way I’m just stoked to be one of the eight polers in the amateur division to compete! And to be able to perform. I would have done a showcase if they were more readily available in my area but this is my best bet at performing. I’ve never performed like this in my life!! So that’s another reason, I don’t know what it will be like! And, like a lot of people, we are our own worst critics. but I am going to start early enough that I should feel super comfy by the time the comp comes around. And the 45 mm pole is foreign to me but I ordered one to practice on so that should be ok ^_^

Yes! Mac is an excellent idea!
