I use to shave but got tired of the fast regrowth. I've never had a full on brazilian before out of fear of pain and because I felt uncomfortable with a stranger looking at my lady parts. I ended up doing something totally crazy. I bought an epilator which I used for my legs and loved the results. One day I got brave and decided to epilate only the bikini line. It hurt I'm not gonna lie. I loved the smooth results and the hair grew back a lot finer. Well after awhile I got even more brave and ended up epilating everything off!! I do it after a shower so the hair and skin is soft. For the first few times I had to do it in multiple sessions because of the pain but the results were worth it.  Now I can epilate everything in one session. I have two epilators. One for the legs (to do the bigger jobs) and the other for the sensitive areas. I always disinfect and clean them daily. I use the bigger epilator for the top part of you know what and you kinda get used to the pain so I can seriously just run the epilator on that part as if I was epilating my legs!!  I then use the smaller one for the sides. The smaller one has less tweezers so it doesn't hurt as much. I use No Bumps right after to prevent ingrown hairs from Sally Beauty Supply. This whole time I've only had 1 ingrown hair down there. I love the results and the fact that the hair grows back slower and finer. I wish I discovered it sooner.  I swear some of the pole moves are more painful.  Give epilating a shot if you are curious. It's a one time cost to purchase the gadget and mess free!!! I hope this helps and sorry it was so long.

I have the same pink crash mat from yoga direct. My bf bought it for me from Amazon. I've had it for almost a year and it's still in really good condition.  Pretty much looks new even though I use it every time I practice. Some people complain about it ripping and tearing at the seams but I honestly don't have any problems with mine.  Another Veener friend of mine has the same one and she got a little bit before me and her mat is still holding up well.  I think it's a really good investment and has saved me many times.  Go get it!

Thanks for posting chem. Haven't seen one of her vids in awhile. She's so amazing it's outta this world!!

Wow what a great discussion! I have a hard time with floor work (no dance background either) and I feel so stiff and unsexy ugh! There's a lot of good advice on here (thanks for sharing everyone) so I'm definitely gonna try to incorporate that from hereon out. I actually feel more comfortable when the camera is not recording. I feel with the camera I'm on the spot and it's catching every move and mistake I make.  It makes me feel more self conscious.  It's like I know in the back of my mind the camera is rolling so I can't really "let myself go and get lost with the moment and music" like I can when it's off.  Less pressure when it's off.  But then when you don't record yourself, you can't see what you look like and what you are doing etc. Does anyone else feel that way?

Hey CalBear, I'm one of the other gals that hooked is talking about.  The more the merrier! I'm from Morgan Hill.  If you want you can meet up at my place and we can drive down together to pick up Hooked.  Message me or hooked if you are interested.  We are planning to meet soon to work out the details.

I shop at Lululemon for tops.  I also shop at Bad Kitty, Etsy and Snaz75.com 

I also buy stuff sometimes from my local pole studio.  I hope that helps.

Hey Becky! I’m in the Bay Area but I would love to be Skype buddies with you. I’m also in the legal field! Email me and we can talk some more 🙂

[MaliciousMynx]

I’ll be there! Maybe all Veeners should meet up a certain day and dress in a certain color or something so we can spot fellow veeners. Veener pole jam?

She's an instructor at one of two studios.  BeSpun in LA or OC Pole Fitness (affliated with Felix Cane) I just can't remember which studio.  I know it's one of those two in Southern California.  I've been looking into studios in that area recently because I might be moving there and I remember seeing her name on the instructor list on the studio website.  I hope that helps horsecrazy.

I have really dry skin as well in the winter time and it's hard to stick to the pole.  I'll moisturize at night after a shower or bath and in the morning, I'll be all flakey/white dry skin again 🙁 What I find that helps is exfoliating (I use Origins Ginger Body Scrub with a loofah) followed by applying moisturizing lotion with a drop of coconut oil or sweet almond oil.  It helps the lotion slather on better and you stay moisturized longer.  I got my coconut oil in Thailand but I'm sure you can find it online or at health food stores.  The sweet almond oil I got at Whole Foods.  Both of those oils you can also use on your hair as a hair mask and it works well. You can also try to use Ahava's Dead Sea bath salts and their lotion line to moisturize the skin.  I love Ahava!  Darn dry winter weather!  I hope that helps.

Woot woot!! Hey I may be able to do an sm but haven't gotten the superman down yet I can barely hold it… the pain!!  Are you gonna own the butterfly next? Hehehe 😛 

[MaliciousMynx]

Hey Lyme.  You and I started around the same time.  How I got my sm was by doing Veena's pole strength routine videos.  I also stretched a lot using her vids too.  I also just built strength by just being on the pole.  One day during a pole jam with PA we both decided to give it a go and it just happened!  We werent' planning on doing it at all but with the support of each other we got it.  I hope this helps you and keep me updated 🙂
