Is there a such thing as sexy rain boots? Bet they'd be grippy like crazy and flat footed…. and you can always get them in the coolest patterns lol.

And if you want some of the shinier ones, like the Lycra ones, then ballet flats are awesome underneath (they always picture them with women wearing heals under them in the listings)

I LOVE boot covers. I wear them over sneakers, usually just really flat cheap white ones like WalMart Danskins or canvas shoes. Thats what I'm wearing in my Merry Christmas album here on Veena. It lets me hoop in parades and things while still having cute boots, and you can wear them over and over. I've replaced the elastic on mine 3 times. The fuzzy ones are easiest to find because they're so trendy, but often don't cover the toe and would look a little silly on tennis shoes. But here's what they look like on me (Got them as part of this costume, 20 bucks for the whole thing, new, on Ebay):

Some I found on Ebay just browsing around:
-
That would be nice, or at least, have sample packs at studios or vendor's store fronts or whatever if not available to send to anyone. I measured the different mm's and found things that were similar, like, the top of a soda can feels like a 50 lol. The 40s at the studio WERE nice, but just felt a little too thin when climbing and what not. The grip is different because at home its chrome, at the studio they have brass, so you can't really compare the grip factor solely on mm alone with them being different metals. People always recommend going to a studio to try out different sizes and finishes, but that isn't always available 🙁

I found that I had the same issue on my 50 when I started out, but, as ninja just mentioned, realizing I was overgripping was a HUGE issue. Also, I started strength training my hands so they'd be stronger as I progressed with pole. Squeezing little stress ball things, and I have this little thing with springs under each finger that you squish to gain hand strength. I used the 50 for my first year and a half of poling. I'm waiting for my new 45 to arrive, anxious to get poling and see and feel all the differences.

Thumbing through Veena is like reading the morning paper for me. This made me giggle this morning. I intend to make full use when the omni swing gets here lol!
-
I'm terrible at sewing. The last patterns I bought I got by sifting through those giant catalogues at the fabric store. I don't even know if they do it like that anymore.
-
Thank you for your inquiry. The pole was just purchased about 40 minutes ago. So this is sold. Maybe try posting a 50mm xpert wanted ad? Good Luck!
-
Way to go girl! I knew you'd find your sweet spots. And that first time you "tag" the top of the pole is so awesome, you will love it and are well on your way. YAY!

Veena has those beautiful long legs, I don't think I can get my rump over my torso on my elbows with my feet still on the ground walking me up to it the way she does in the lesson. I know that thats not the ONLY way, but the woman amazes me lol. I challenged my husband to do it because he said it was so easy. He basically did a downward dog and bailed with a "Nevermind, you're right, its hard, and I can't do it."

I was seeing elbow stand as kind of a prerequisite to hand stand. I could always do the “cartwheel into a wall until you don’t fall back down” method, but I’ve really been trying to do everything “proper”. It feels so slow to progress. Sometimes I wish I was little so I had a bit more natural intuition about my body and how it moves…
-
Having similar problem with elbow stands. Its like, if my hands are as close as they are supposed to be, there is no "tripod" effect. but if I put my hands out wide, its not at all like how Veena's lessons are teaching, so I haven't done it. I don't have anyone working with me at all, and I so badly want elbow and hand stands.

Hmmm…. I googled power washer steam cleaner, since power washers often have longer hoses. This one says the hose is 26 feet with 3 different attachments and a steam option. Its a little pricey at 200 bucks, but I didn't dig deep for best reviews/best prices. Would something like that suit your needs?

I don't think you'd wanna blast the pole with the power washer part, but if the steam will come out of the hose, it sounds like it could be an answer. Good luck!
-
But you still have to wipe the steam away, so I assume you're still in the air on a ladder or on the pole or something. I don't think its good to steam it and let it air dry, but I may be incorrect.
-
Mine has a hose on it, it can blast straight steam, or theres a little rag attachment thing. Its called a Shark…
I don't know if this is the exact model I have, but it looks like this:
I'd say the only thing I don't like is that you have to be holding the button on the unit for steam to come out of the hose. Its nice if you can have someone else hold the button and you run the hose around where you need. Even without that, its nice. I used it to clean sugar glider cages, which are large, ackward, and funky, and it suited my needs.
