Amy I think you were because I think Sarahb69 picked up some shoes for you and we went to NYC together.

Yes!!!! That is it, thank you!

My poles get jammed on occasion so to get them apart:
Put the pole back up and loosen each section individually. Start with the top section, put a rod in the hole of the top extension and a rod in the hole of the extension directly below it. Anchor the lower rod with your leg to the right of it and push back against it, push forwards (anti clockwise) on the top rod and hopefully that should get them apart. Do the same for the others too and it should be ok to take down.
When you put the pole back up make sure it is tight but not too tight you are unable to create space when undoing each section.
I hope that helps, that is the ONLY way I have been able to take my poles apart.

I don't know if this would be what you are looking for but it is a website that I think Veena posted for Mums and it includes stories from women about how their bodies have changed after pregnancy. It includes downright misery to self acceptance.

I was wondering what spins you had started with because it may be that there are other spins or things you could try to get your confidence up a bit? Are you comfortable doing a sexy walk around the pole? Maybe you could start that and some 'wiggly' stuff, pirouettes and stuff so you have confidence around the pole first.
Don't get disheartened, your strength will creep up on you and you will suddenly realise you are a pole goddess and had nothing to worry about at all!

A Cross Knee Release (CKR) is one of the next steps from sitting on the pole. So as you can sit, try the sitting on both sizes, for my students that is the test. If they can sit on a 45 (and can spin, etc on a 45 too) then that may be the pole for them.
I think it is a good idea to ask the other studio, even if you have to pay a drop in fee, it will be worth it to be completely happy with your pole.

I love both although my heart will always always be with my 45. I make sure I can do everything on both poles but I do find the 45 easier for my cartwheels, elbow grips, etc because I have small hands. Have you used a 45 before? Maybe you can find somewhere or someone who has a 45 so you can have a quick play, try everything you can do, spins, CKR, inverts and see which you prefer. A lot of my students prefer the 50mm, particularly for the CKR but everyone is different.

I have thought about getting some kiddy foam mats? Toys R Us sell mats that are 6 or so inches square which is the perfect size for the bottom of my pole. I would just take one out to fit around the bottom of the pole and voila!

I decided to make a playlist that would be suitable to lap dance to and any other kind of activity after. I think I an going with R Kelly – Sex me.

Thanks guys. I now have the song. Very excited.

Lainey – I could never find rubbing alcohol when I was living in the UK. I think there was some stupid reason why it wasn't sold but I can't remember – it was three years ago.
On occasion I 'grip up' poles. Not sure if I am super lucky and have ridiculously grippy hands but so far so good. I always paper kitchen towel. I never use an actual towel because I find that makes it slippy. I presumed it may be either a detergent residue or something in the fabric that makes the pole slippy. Might be worth a try.

Sooooo, I went to buy it but because we are in Canada and using a British account it won't let me buy it. You wouldn't think buying a song would be so damn difficult.

I've decided I really want Painted on my heart by The Cult from Gone in 60 Seconds but it isn't on iTunes https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
Minicoopergrl – I downloaded the Dry Martini Mix and I presume the original. I like them both and couldn't decided which one I liked more.
