    I really don't like the idea of online voting.  We've seen how easy it is to duplicate things on this forum alone with all the double posting and we aren't even trying.  Imagine when you try and have the know how to double vote.

    Great find.  Thanks for sharing.  Most dubstep I feel like I have to get ravepants and glowsticks, but this definately feels more poleworthy.  It's also more consistant than my Pandora's been lately.

    November 16, 2011 at 10:58 am in reply to: when they hear pole aerobics what they really hear is stripping

    I metal climb.  I dance on a vertical ballet bar.  I swing around a stainless steel cylinder.  I had my mom believing for months I was going to an European ethnic dance class when she asked what dance class I went to and I said it was "pole-ish."  You'd be surprised how little people really think about what you say and just move on.  If they don't care they aren't going to ask follow up questions.

    If they do ask more questions and your not sure how they'll react, you can feed them details about the art, strength, and workout without talking about the device.  Let them come to it themselves with little details that it's a pole and when they call it a stripper pole, you get to act all shocked like you had no idea it was also used for stripping (works especially well if you have a good girl image).  Makes them feel like an asshat for dirting up your hobby, instead of you feeling bad for being accused of being dirty.

    November 13, 2011 at 8:09 am in reply to: Makeup vs Natural

    I was raised without makeup.  No stance either way from my parents, my mom almost never wore it and never taught me how.  I'm not anti makeup, I just never bother to practice the art and only barely know how to use it.

    Makeup is painting your outer wall.  Cover the graffitti, make it look nice, or go all out with your artistry and make it amazing.  End of the day its just your exterior and other people are going to see it way more often than you.  Some people are fine walking around with a gorgeous painted house that has no furnature inside.  I don't think thats comfortable.  I'd say work on the inside of your house first because you have to live in there.  Do you even notice at the outside of your friends house anymore or do you just want to hang out on their comfy couch?  It's easier to make the outside look great when you know the inside is great.

    I speak in weird analogizes sometimes, I hope this makes sense to everyone else.

    The manufacturers have to run some numbers before ever putting a model into production.  I'm no physics major, but with the right formulas I wouldn't expect it to be too hard to make a "Will it walk/tip/whatever?" calculator for stage poles.

    October 6, 2011 at 8:41 pm in reply to: CLA/Tonalin weight loss supplement?

    Boyfriend's friend got us started on fish oil since he lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks.  Something about making you burn existing fat instead of taking in new fat…sounded, well fishy.  I was fine the first 5 days, but this morning I had fish flavored burps for 2 hours while stuck in traffic, I'm giving up.  Wasn't really on it long enough to see results for weight, but my joints felt better.  Another supplement to look into maybe if you don't mind fish flavor.

    Glad your ok.  Hope you can feel secure again soon.  Imagining all the things that could happen can drive you nuts.  Take the steps you can take and try not to stress too much.

    I've been traveling a lot for work lately. Spending a lot of time of time on the road and in airports.  I always hated carrying a purse or bag.  I bought one of these utlity vests at first just for travel, but I take it everywhere like a purse now.  Makes me feel really secure about my stuff when I wear it.  http://www.scottevest.com/v3_store/New_Travel_Vest_Women.shtml

    September 6, 2011 at 2:18 pm in reply to: Jennifer Love Hewitt talks Pole dancing on The Talk

     

    On the GhostWhisperer:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mtIiMfTCek

    Preview of The Talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl0fXodYftE  No actual clips of "pooooooooole dancing".

    Could not find the clip from the actual show.  I'd love to see if/how they argue the stripper angle with a celebrity (since thats all these shows talk about when anyone else does it).  Did they bring it up at all?

    I focus the weirdiest things.  Of all the awesome tricks, moves, floorwork and firework shoes I can't help but notice the one in the football helmet intentionally(?) kicks herself in the head.  Until now, I've never seen a move from a competition where I've thought I don't want to learn how to do that. lol.

    August 25, 2011 at 3:02 pm in reply to: video camera recomendations please : )

     

    On Topic – I have a Canon PowerShot SD780 IS.  Its does HD video.  The one whole video I have was done on it and the black and white effect was done with the camera itself not an editting program.  I did an audio overlay because its not the best at picking up music, but I had the camera a few feet away from the camera.  It defaults to .mov (Quicktime/Mac), but Window Live Movie Maker loads it and allows it to be saved as .wmv.

    Off Topic – Open source is a philosophy that the code used to build a program will be available for free so people can view or modify the program.  Because you can see the code used to make the program its much less likely for it to be malicious, but it still can be.

    Check out rifle cases at a hunting goods store.  Lil Mynx has a carry case for their multipiece portable pole; when I first saw it I thought it looked like a rifle case.  You can cut the foam in the case for the pole pieces.  I think the longest pieces of the X-pole would fit fine.  Just throw some cute stickers on it or paint it to soften it up a bit lol.

    August 12, 2011 at 5:13 pm in reply to: Did a Pole Climb, first one!

    I relate to the tummy bulge rubbing the pole.  When I do the pole hold, I just stick my belly into the pole, I don't even try to hold it away anymore, it will leave soon, but until then it has to pole too.  Instead of climbing up, you could try to slide down really slowly from a pole hold.  I had to do that for awhile before I could climb up consistantly.

    Link to product discussed:

    LEDs are used in the camera flash in cellphones, they are very bright.  My phone looks like it has 2 bulbs and that pole light looks like it has ~20 bulbs.

    August 8, 2011 at 9:29 am in reply to: Online Dating

    Meet someone doing something you like.  It doesn't sound like your thrilled to try an online dating site, so you might not be thrilled with a guy from one.

    I tried a free online dating site once.  Out of 100 messages, I'd get one guy that read my profile and actually wanted to talk.  The rest were phone numbers and photos or descriptions of his favorite thing.  I took down my picture and almost noone messaged me.  I never met anyone from that site in person.

    I met my fiancé while playing World of Warcraft.  I talked to him for a whole year online without knowing what he looked like before I met him face to face.  I wasn't looking for a relationship at the time and I'm not suggesting using WoW as a dating site lol.  I'm just saying I dated through the internet and I had the best time finding when I wasn't looking and while doing something I already liked to do.
