Don't feel bad, my boyfriend did a shoulder mount on his first try. Stupid men and their massive upper body strength… But there's a lot that I can do that he can't, too… 🙂

Don't forget about Snaz75.com!! They have the best prices on heels I've found. 🙂

Being a 32DD on top, I have a hard time finding tops that fit my ribcage AND cover my girls with no peek-a-boo when upside down (that don't squish me into painful oblivion). I recently discovered the Fiona sports bra by Moving Comfort – I LOVE THAT BRA!! I got mine at Athleta.com in Flamingo, and love it so much I'm buying another!
I've been poling in a pair of Cheer Shorts I got at Target for $5 a year and a half ago when I first started. I just bought a couple pairs of Mika Yoga shorts – the Mikaela and the Kiki. They both seem to fit okay – Mikaelas have great crotch and booty coverage. The Kiki's are smaller all around with a scrunch butt, and I'm not sure about them yet. I'll try them out on the pole soon and let you know!

Congrats! I just did my very first Aerial Invert a couple of weeks ago, so I know how you're feeling! Great job!! ^_^

Awesome post, Amy! I wish it had been around when I was trying to decide what I wanted back in March! I never thought about measuring the diameter of my grip!! If so I would have definitely bought a 45 instead of the 50 I have now. (not that I don't love my pole anyway. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif ) It just makes things a little harder, and when I go play on my friend's 45, everything is so easy and effortless!!

@tarah-
My friend has a 45mm xpole muliti, and she has 10' ceilings in her pole room. If it flexes more than the 50, I haven't noticed. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I don't know about a 1 piece at that height. I agree with Sensual that that's a good question for the people @ PS.

I agree with pretty much everything sensualscimitar says. I think 50s are better to learn on as it's easier to transition down than up, and a mix of brass and SS is probably a good thing. One-piece permanent poles, definitely. My studio had only brass 50mm poles and it seem to work well for all the girls I saw. (and as sensual mentioned, at that height, the added stability and decreased flex of a 50 would be a GOOD thing.)
The only point I disagree on personally is the ease of tricks/spins with a 45. I am a small girl – 5'1", with small hands – 6.5". I personally find EVERYTHING easier to perform on a 45 – even thigh holds. But that is my PERSONAL preference. My pole at home is a 50mm, and I'm glad I have it. I have to work harder with it, but I see this as a good thing, as when I do go play on my friend's 45, everything is so easy and effortless. But in a studio, to learn on, I think it would be better to have all 50s. 🙂

I went through this back in March. I ended up buying a 50mm Titanium X-Pert X-pole. It is SUPER easy to take up and down by myself. (less than 5 min if I don't take apart the individual pieces and just shove it in a closet :D) I chose Titanium because of the extra grip, and the only thing I had ever poled on was the 50mm brass poles they had at my studio.
I chose to go with a 50mm pole because it is still the industry standard, and it's MUCH easier to go down in pole size than up. I'm a small girl – 5'1", 120lbs, and my hands are 6 1/2" from the base of my palm to the tip of my longest finger. Everything I've learned is MUCH easier on my friend's 45mm pole, but the 50 makes me work harder, so when I get on the 45 it's simply effortless. (after playing on my friend's Chrome 45, that's DEFINITELY going to be my next pole).
I like having the xPert because I can play on either Static or Spinning mode, and for me both have their pros and cons.
I agree with everyone here about going either with XPole or PS. I've been EXTREMELY happy with my Xpole. I haven't had to contact customer support, but I hear it's great. PS customer support has had some MAJOR issues in the past, but recent posts on this forum say that it's improving by leaps and bounds.
If you're not sure about metals or diameters, see if you can find someone in the area with a pole you can play on for a little while. Good luck, I know you'll love your new pole!!

I opted to have the money direct deposited. I opened up a separate, special account for this, and from there transferred the $ into my regular checking account. There was one issue where my routing # was incorrect, and MFC notified me immediately. I corrected it, emailed them, and the funds were deposited the next day. I had the option of them mailing me a check, or I could get one of several "cash cards" which is a special credit card that they load with the $$ you've earned, and you can use it as a debit/credit card at any store or pull cash from an ATM. The MFC website when you go to sign up has several wikis for you to read before you actually start and apply that discusses all of this in detail. I'll post a link a little later when I get home. 🙂

I've done this on MyFreeCams.com. StreamMate is another good one, as well as AdultWork. And as Chemmie said, StripperWeb is an AWESOME resource on camming. I didn't make a lot of $$ on these sites, but I was a non-nude model, and only did it for about 6 weeks when I needed a little extra cash. I didn't want to work in a club (I've never done that before) and didn't think i'd be comfortable with the face-to-face and contact.
I expected a lot more out of it after hearing some of the girls' stories, but I have to admit I didn't put a whole lot of effort into it, and was just started to establish some regulars when I stopped.

I'm in! Can you send me a reminder for the Thurs 8p EST Bendy Buddies?

I Love my hourglass figure and doing sexy, arched bum slides against the pole that draw attention to my curves. 🙂
-
I've been noticing myself that poling doesn't really tone your bum… I sit all day long and my fat accumulates at the base of my bum/tops of my thighs (right where I sit…). I've been doing Ballet Conditioning to help my thighs, hips and glutes, but I'll try these things as well. Thanks!

Thanks veena. I know you can’t really tell me what to do, and I did see a doctor, it just helps to know what you (and other people have done and how long it took so I have an idea of what to expect. It’s frustrating to work with it and work with it and feel like there’s no improvement. Thank you for sharing- I appreciate it. And I’ll try the tennis ball. 🙂

Veena:
I have a question for you too – I'm not sure if you can help with this, but I have a medial hamstring muscle that I've overstretched slightly. (The muscle is so far medial that it almost feels like an adductor…) I get a sharp pain in that muscle when I try to stretch it, even warm. Foam rolling helps, but I sometimes pay for it the next day. It's been injured since August. A doctor told me that I could rehab it gently, and the pain point was my stopping point and to back off from there. I've been trying to rehab it, but it doesn't seem to be improving. Sometimes it doesn't even seem like I'm maintaining my level of flexibility, and it's just so tight and painful… Do you have any suggestions or recommendations? I don't know if you've ever had something like this happen and have some kind of recovery routine or rehab schedule.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
