@ https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/4f9192d7-3274-473a-bbed-2bba0ac37250 – I contact my photographer and she said they won’t be working on my photos until a couple of months from now…So I really wouldn’t know how they come out until then.  But I will be getting all my photos in RAW format…So, I might be contacting you if I’m not happy with the outcome. Thanks in advance!!

@ https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/51a63696-d4ec-46fa-96df-17c40ac37250 – You’re such a sweetheart!! ~HUGS~ I have never done Skype pole forum before and I would love to try that!!  Are there any active pole Skyping going on right now? I need to work on my flexibility and splits too…

@ https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/52143737-7afc-4ac7-85e5-46540ac37250 – Thanks…I KNOW going in that I will have no control over what will happen.  But, that doesn’t change the disappointment.  I think I accepted the fact that it’s out of my control…but I just don’t know HOW to deal with those feelings now.  The seamstress asked me to bring the dress back so she can see it for herself…I have yet to have the time or the courage to talk about it yet…hopefully I will soon…so maybe I will get some compensation back (I paid an arm and a leg to this lady…).

>>> I’m going to keep myself busy and submerge myself into poling (I really want that should mount!!) Hopefully those feelings of disappointment will go away soon. 

Last night my nightmare when from getting ready in my discolored dress in the morning into reception time…hopefully the “wedding” will be over soon!!!

Once again…you ladies are very amazing…I went onto Weddingbees and there are nothing but scolding and mean replies from those people…very dishearten.   I’m blessed to be part of StudioVeena~~~ =)

Thank you so much ladies…I get sooo much more support here on Veena than on any wedding forums where the people there are just plain mean….

@ https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/51a63696-d4ec-46fa-96df-17c40ac37250 – / https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/516815dc-e97c-432c-a65c-65c70ac37250 / https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/4fab1277-4634-4f27-a2f3-2b630ac37250 – I'm trying really hard to only think of the positive things.  But I'd been having nightmares every single night since the day after the wedding…I mean every-single-night. It's like I have to re-live the whole wedding thing every night, I don't get to rest or pause! Sigh.  I'm at the point where I'm afraid to sleep now. 

I'm trying to get back to poling now to help me get things off my mind.  I took a nearly 4 months break from pole just so all my wound and bruise will heal up and I had to make sure I don't get new ones.  I miss poling soooo much.

@ https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/4ec9769d-c610-49b4-9311-35e30ac37250 – I was planning to boudoir  right after the wedding and before the honeymoon.  But now when I think of it, you're right.  I'll do that for our one year anniversary…to remind him what a hot wife he got =)  (And yes…poling will give me that hot body~~)

@ https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/4f4e536d-f550-421b-9ac2-41f80ac37250 – Thanks girlie~~ If I can stop all my nightmares now. I think I can move forward a lot faster.  

@ https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/4f989d02-1f84-4023-b471-781e0ac37250 – This is actually more common then you think.  It just a lot of women don't want to admit that their "big day" wasn't as perfect as they had in mind.  I'm not ashame to admit it…cause I know things WILL go wrong….it just depends on how bad. Mine…it makes me want to curl up into a ball and die!

@ https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/4f9192d7-3274-473a-bbed-2bba0ac37250 – Thank you sooo much for sharing your experience.  My (was then "new") job, is also very unfulfilling, wedding did give me a chance to start my project on the side that makes me happy….but I'mnot lingering on "a project to do"….I"m just really upset that I will have bad pictures where people might even make fun of me due to the wedding dress discoloration.

A LOT of little things went wrong that day….a lot…and I can get through all of them EXCEPT my wedding dress. Argh…

I will take your advice on doing a very special 1st year anniversary…perhaps I just need something new to focus on so my nightmares would stop…

@ https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/514a27bf-2dc4-4277-818f-42fb0ac37250 – I'm a Jehovah Witness, we only believe in marrying once so there will be no vow renewal.  But thanks for the idea anyway. I think I'll save up again and do a re-shoot or something….I just need to find SOMETHING to make me feel better now so my nightmare would stop haunting me….

My knees lock REALLY easily too!! (I'm double joint…and I heard that's common for double jointer…)

Anyway, the past couple of nights I "solve" the issue of my knee pain by putting roll-up towels underneath both my knees before working on my middle stretch on my splits machine.  It seems to help a lot! The issue is still there…but least there's a way around it.  

I hope this won't have an effect of my straighten the legs once I got my splits!

Thanks ladies for all your inputs!!! =)

I recently changed job and my current boss is a conservative, judgmental,  racist old hag.  If she or any of my coworkers find out that I pole on the side, I might put my job on the line.

 

I'm also getting married in a few months, my fiance and I have a wed-site going on…I originally was going to post some of my pole pics on the website, because it's part of me…however, now I have to think twice.  (I wear sports bra and bad kitty shorts in all of those pictures…)

 

I feel really sad that I have to hide it because with my  previous boss, he thinks it is cool that I can hold my own body weight while I'm inverted…And he also know I'm very professional when it comes to my job so that was never an issue…but now. =(

 

Yeah, I agree with Chemmie that part of us don't need to be broadcasted…but I'm at the point where I need to lie on my whereabouts and makeup stories pretty frequently. (My current boss is VERY nosy and constantly checking on me…yes, even on personal things….)

 

The FUNNY part?? I'd been doing Bible study with Jehovah Witnesses for over a year…and they said there's nothing wrong with pole fitness, especially when I'm doing it in a studio and the comfort of my own home.  (Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against strippers, people have free-will to do whatever they want and it is not up to me to judge…) 

[Mechie]

My bubble is burst…LOL  

Thanks Chemmie~

I read the old posts about stretchy boots but I can’t tell if this pair is stretchy or not since it’s side zip. Figure I’ll ask around here in case some ladies bought the exact same pair….

[Mechie]

45 mm and 50 mm is more the "standard size".  And almost all major competitions use 45mm chrome.   I'm 5'4 with small hands and the 45 mm is perfect.  But as time goes by and when you get more advance, the size doesn't make much of a difference anymore.

Happy Poling~~

If my 72 year old boss (think female, conservative, cathloic, and control freak) finds out I do pole dance…she'll prolly will try to get rid of me with all her might!! So no…I don't wear my pole shoes to work. sigh.  

[Mechie]

I just recently overcome my fear on doing the butterfly.  I was stuck on that move for awhile…fearing of my sweaty slipping down the pole and crack my head onto the floor.  Now I'm working on my Gemini and Scropio swtich…same thing…I'm so scared of the swtich…espcially after my first fall from the switch.  sigh..I think it's gonna take me awhile to get comfortable and trusting my sweaty hands and body….

I bought a bottle of Poletice a couple of weeks ago. My experience is, it works better then Tite Grip but still not sweat-proof. And I realize if my hands start sweating and I wipe my hand on my towel, Poletice will get a bit more less effective.

Poletice cost a more Tite Grip (my tube of TG cost me $8 and Poletice cost more than twice that). You don’t get a lot of product in a bottle also so I’m not sure how long it’ll last..,but I’d say it’s worth a try. Now before my pole class I put on Poletice, rub, dry, rinse then I put on Firm Grip. It’s helps a bit but not too much….I guess it really depends on the person’s body chemistry.

[Mechie]

$350 for gripetease is too much a rip!! How much are pole-sleeves? I was on the site and don’t see pricing option….

[Mechie]

I have Grave’s diesease and hyperthyroidism….my doc never said I can’t pole or snowboard or yoga…I’ve seen 4 specialists.

It sucks b/c my hands tend to shake more, my heart beats faster, shortness of breathe and my hands get sweaty fast…but, you get used to it. I just need to take my med on time.

Don’t give up!! I know I won’t~~ =)
