I made a pair of shorts using this method this evening, and they came out GREAT. I did gently stretch while I sewed the waist band (the size difference made it necessary) but have no issues with the seam buckling. The leg seams are not quite as tight as I'd like, but I can fix that on the next go around. Thanks again for this – it was awesome! I'm looking forward to making more of my own pole shorts!

Thank you so much for this! I will definitely be doing this in the near future!!! *Runs off to find a pair of boyshorts to cut up*

I can write upside down and backwards, too. I can also write with both my feet, though it’s not pretty. I can tie a knot in a cherry stem with my tongue, and put sunscreen on my back by myself. I also have incredible spacial awareness like chem, but this has proved more useful than useless (i have that same knack for watching a move and knowing how to do it/get into it and can explain it to others). I can also accurately pick up accents, which allows me to speak foreign languages like a native. I’ve also picked up british accents while speaking to people, not realized it, and had them get offended- I start out speaking like an american and end up sounding like them! This is totally unconscious and I don’t do it on purpose; in fact I have to work very hard NOT to do it.

If you’re into historical romance with explicit sex scenes, check out Lynne Marie’s books “the Seahawk’s sanctuary” and “The Lion’s Lair”. I also love Laurell k Hamilton’s Anita Blake series (first book “Guilty Pleasures”) and Meredith Gentry series. The anita series doesn’t really get into the sex untilaster the first couple of books, but they’re so good you won’t care. Meredith Gentry series is LOTS of hot fairy sex.

Chwenny has a great blog! I have one, too, and I’m going to shamelessly self-promote. Poledancediary.wordpress.com

Rejection is always a possibility. Some people are more prone to this than others. Definitely keep it clean, and don't move it around or tug on it too much – just a little right after you soak/clean it to make sure the healing tissue isn't adhering to the bar.
Also, ALWAYS use high quality metals. SURGICAL stainless steel, titanium or gold. If you want to wear a cheap one that you don't know the metal, take it out at the end of the day, clean the piercing, and put your good one back in. Some people have reactions to different metals – I would suggest starting with a gold banana bar and experimenting from there with either titanium or surgical stainless steel. Gold is the least reactive, and most people can tolerate gold when their body will not tolerate other metals.
Glad to hear your piercing is starting to do better, and I hope this helps!

You can also find shoes on costumes4less.com – I bought some Pleasers there for only $30 a pair!

Update on my pole wear – I know this is late coming. I ended up sending Mika Yoga's Kiki shorts back – they were just a little too small all over, and I wasn't comfortable with the amount of cheekage and skinny crotch coverage. I really like the Michaela shorts, also by Mika Yoga.
I've also gotten a pair of Sweet Vixen Couture's Fold-Over shorts – I LOVE THEM. I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I have curvy hips and a big butt for a white girl, and these stay around the tops of my thighs, tucked in right under my cheeks and DON'T BUDGE without being too tight. The waist is super soft – no muffin top! I can fold it down in the front and up in the back so there's no crack showing either. They are by FAR my favorites – I want to buy a dozen more!
I've also gotten a pair of shorts from Vertical Edge, with corset lacing on the sides. They're a little cheeky, and ride up my butt a little, but other than that have nice coverage all over. Hope this helps you girls when you're looking for shorts!

I'm 5'1" (barely) and have a friend who has a 40mm Chrome. I LOVE THAT SKINNY POLE. Everything seems so much easier on it! I have a 45 at home that I really like, too, and haven't touched a 50 in MONTHS. The only drawback to the 40 for me is that it leaves me with some WICKED bruises… But I'll stop bruising eventually, right?

I'm 5'1", and my hands are 6.5" from the base of the palm to the tip of my longest finger. I initially bought a 50, and 6 months later decided I didn't like it – I had a friend who had 45s, and whenever I went to her house that was all I used.
Through networking with the girls in the area, I was able to find someone who was willing to trade her 45 for my 50. I was extremely lucky to find her, I think, and it was a perfectly even trade – both were Xperts and had the same finish to them – the only difference was the size. Don't feel bad because you've only had it a short amount of time and don't like it – If you aren't happy and feel safe on it, you won't use it! I gradually stopped using mine at home because I didn't like the big, fat thing! But I LOVE the 45 I have now! I'm so much happier, and feel like I can do so much more because I can actuallly wrap my fingers all the way around the pole!!
My friend now has a 40, and that skinny little pole is awesome. I myself am nervous about getting one, though, as most studios, competitions and clubs will still have 50s (and maybe a 45 or two) and I don't want to get too used to the skinny pole.
Don't feel bad about switching – if you're not comfortable with what you have, why keep it?? Get one that you will LOVE and USE!! ^_^ With as small as your hands are (slightly smaller than mine) I'm sure you'll be MUCH happier with a 45 – you'll actually be able to grip it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I'm a freelance graphic designer specializing in book covers. I have lots of time to pole since I quit my 'regular' job of four years as an Operating Room secretary. I start school to become an Massage Therapist this fall, and I can't wait!

Perhaps we should see if we can petition Bobbi to open a studio here in the US? 😉

You're not a freak. I have it too, in both hips. Like Sensual, I spoke with an orthopedist – google Snapping Hip Syndrome. It's VERY common in dancers. It has to do with the tendons catching on the protrusion at the top of the femur (thigh bone) and 'snapping' off, causing that popping noise you hear. It can cause problems over time, and can also irritate the tendons if you do movements that cause the snapping sound frequently (these are usually rotational movements of the leg). Just rest and don't do those circular movements if the area starts to become sore, and like Sensual said, work those glutes! ^_^

I never used the old Total Moisture lotion, but I got the new Aloe one and I really like it. Light but still moisturizing, absorbs quickly, leaves no greasy residue on my hands and skin. I like it.
