I know that if your stretch marks are red in color, u can help that with a laser, or different creams to fade them. If they are already white, there is nothing you can do. Ive asked a couple dermatologists about this. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

@chemgoddess
Ok yes i know what you are referring to. The building has really nice molding on the ceilings, and they didnt want me to drill holes in it, so that is why i originally got xpoles. It was in my lease not to damage the ceiling. However, once i made them aware of the situation, they graciously allowed me to drill the permanent poles in.
Platinum stages didnt make any special mounts for me. I did it myself.

@chemgoddess
The xpole dome fit inside of the square molding. It wasnt placed on the molding. The ceiling and floor are concrete. Im not sure where your comment about Platinum stages making me a special mount came from. I had wood cut into blocks at LOWES, and then bolted into the ceiling, because the permanent poles would not fit past the molding. They are bolted to the floor and ceiling, so there was no way to shimmy it thru. They are pretty much an exact fit. The ceilings were too high to have the semi permanent pole, which just attaches to the ceiling. I would have been able to shimmy that type into place by the bottom, and not use any wood blocks. **Also, i had sent pictures of my ceiling to xpole before i even signed my lease to make sure it was ok, and they said yes.
@sensual- My ceilings are 12'2.

Yes the brass poles do have blemishes. They dont come PERFECT like the stainless steel, but it hasnt been a problem.
My favorite pole is my platinum stages brass. I love it because i dont have to use grip aids. I have never ripped any skin though, but like mentioned above, everyone is different and will have a different reaction.
I really want a 45 mm brass from platinum stages. I have a 50mm that i love, so i think i would be even more in love with the 45mm. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif I just bought my 45mm stainless steel SSA a few weeks ago though, so i might have to hold off, lol

@poledanceromance-
This is not a picture, but its a video of the EZ Connect, and how u put it together.

@empry- Many other people in this thread are talking about their love for their X-poles at home. Please tell them its irrelevant as well.
And yes, if you are upside down on the pole, and the joint decides to slip down, what will happen? Ive seen people post about joints slipping at their studios and at home, so it can happen on the stage pole too.
I dont know what people really want out of a stage pole. If its too heavy, people complain. If its too light, people complain. It wobbles, it makes noise, they dont go high enough etc etc. Its a STAGE pole. You arent supposed to be going nuts on it. I would be cautious with any stage pole, no matter what brand. I dont think stage poles are the place to practice your craziest tricks. Its not connected to anything on top, so obviously there can be issues.
I tested out my SSA after reading so many bad posts about it. I ran at it from across the room, jumped on it, and tried to make it tip over. The pieces popped up, but that was all. I feel safe on it. The video is on my profile and youtube.

I really like my new SSA, WITH the extension. I love that i was able to mix the pieces and make it Black & Pink. I made this video recently on it. http://youtu.be/KAndUdCTmto
I wish Veenas video would have had the extension on the SSA. I also wish she would have pointed out all the errors that come along with the X-joint as well. No matter how stable that base is, if the joint slips, you're screwed. It can always be blamed on "user error" but if THAT many people are doing it wrong , maybe it should be redesigned.
I support Platinum Stages because they helped me out when X-poles failed my studio. I prefer the ss and brass finishes as well.
I would love to know what everyone suggests for studios with ceilings above 12ft? Some of the best studios, BeSpun, Body & Pole use Platinum Stages. They arent junk.
I am glad that i had the option to get Platinum Stages poles for my studio. I am happy that they can supply studios above 12 ft. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Congrats! You guys deserved it!!!
Im happy with my gift certificate! I wasnt expecting that https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

People that sell xpoles, or platinum stages, or whatever on their sites earn a commission. Isnt that what she meant by kick back?? I really dont think it was meant to be offensive.
-
It wasnt a product review. I showed what the "EZ CONNECT" actually was and how it gets assembled. I also demonstrated how to make it go into spin mode. People always want to see what the newest poles are, what they look like, how they work, etc.

I agree with Payton that the site is somewhat biased towards xpole. When i posted a video of me using the new EZ connect Star Stand Alone it was pulled immediately from the website. I posted a thread on it, and it was pushed to the bottom within 5 minutes. I dont really think thats fair considering i paid to be a member of this site.
I saw the other thread about the 40mm xpole, and Erica from Platinum Stages has been nothing but respectful and actually sweet on this forum. Im not sure why people were being rude with her, and why she wasnt able to defend herself. Certain things need defending. People on this forum were constantly bad mouthing the SSA….yes in the past it may have been crap, but i know the new one isnt. People also said how it falls over. I put it to the test and ran at it full speed, and the pieces popped up a lil, but the thing is sturdy. It most certainly didnt fall over. U can watch the video on my profile. I felt the need to do the video because a couple of my friends on here were scared to use it after all that they read on the forum.
At the end of the day, there will always be a difference of opinion. If you like Platinum Stages, great. If you like Xpole, great. If you like Lil Mynx, great.
