Haha, I didn’t realize his name was mister safety, I didn’t pay attn to the fact that thats his key name : safety : hehe, so it is a condom!! Whoda thunkit! And Veena– he *woke* me, not *broke up with* me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif. So bf is still in the picture… at least for now until he feels he comes in second to my poling obsession-to-be!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif

I’m actively waiting for my pole too. It’s nice to see I won’t be the only one getting to know her own pole this week https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

If I posted a video it would literally be amateur night. Literally LOL.

Sissy… strange, and I really hope that I’ll even get to enter in this months challenge… or touch my pole whatsoever, but I still haven’t gotten a tracking # for my pole via shipment?? I was supposed to get an email about it on Monday, and while I know how long I should expect to wait for it to arrive, I’m a little peeved at the amount of time its taking to get any information whatsoever.

If I get it early enough I’ll definitely try to enter though! *crosses fingers* This is the ideal challenge for me, because I’ve always thought about how much fun it would be to learn all the pole work, and go win the purse at a real club’s amateur night. Blow the crowd away. Hehe, my little fantasies!

Well this is fitting! Considering I don’t get my tracking information for my pole until tomorrow (and hopefully will have my pole in a week or so) I will officially be an amateur! Ima try and find a way to video tape me strutting around, since I’m positive thats all I’ll be able to do– *crosses fingers*

I am going to apologize right now, because I feel as though I am a consumer partly at fault for your emotions in this post. I have been following for about a month now, and I felt before as thought I really should just keep my lips zipped. I have considered many a time leaving comments, but thought I’d leave it to be said better by someone who could give an ounce of perspective (being as though I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of my pole).

Now I feel as though I should have spoken up regardless of prior experience and perspective, so I am sorry. I love your work, much as I love watching everyones videos. Regardless of what point in time or span of experience/knowledge the poster has to their own, I respect you all equally, and LOVE you all even more. Knowing that there are other people out there willing to bare *lol* themselves to the public, knowing full well what response they could potentially be provoking– while I myself am dealing with the mere stigmatization of PURCHASING this particular piece of equipment– creates a resounding sense of welcome for me here.

Now, I have to agree– I’ve been in the chat a few times and felt that members would rather discuss their technique than answer the questions of a newb who just wants to gain a little perspective before even receiving their pole, a little off, but then again, I am not about to take it as a low blow personally. The one person to attempt to hold convo or make comment to something I might have to say is going to mean more to me than an entire chatroom of persons responding meaninglessly to a question. Take it all with a grain of salt, and know that there are many of us out there that may not feel *worthy* of leaving comment even on your beautiful performance!!!

I cannot know what to comment to help you to gain perspective or help you with constructive criticism, but know that I am watching always!! Every video that is posted. And I hope that none of this ever discourages you in the future from posting those videos, because I know that watching others evolve will eventually be equally as important as watching myself evolve.

If you need to, do it for a while just for you. Continue to post, and know that there are those of us out there who aren’t ready to re:. And from this post here on out, I will know to not bite my tongue– I will post and bare it!

Hell yeah woman!! Glad you spoke up, because this is the first time I feel I’ve actually included myself in this website, and I hope you realize how good it feels to be part of this amazing *resource* provided for us. Where else could you have this level of communication with others without being put down and called trash/slut/invaluable.

I hope you know how much we appreciate and love you, and I apologize for taking up so much of this page! But I hope you also realize how much it took for me to say all this, so an ounce of frustration can go a long way, and you’re not alone!

I look forward to watching your videos in the future and hope that this thread has helped you to find your place in this community. I love you, and I don’t even know you!!

Emily
xoxo, woman– feel free to pm me anytime you like.

confused newb… reallly??? they look like they’re dancing on pvc pipe… I literally thought that was only good for housework/ potato guns. Call me crazy!

I BOUGHT IT I BOUGHT IT I BOUGHT IT!!!!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Ladies, thank you so much!!! For all your responses and help with everything. It really made me realize that I need to stop second guessing this decision and just get on with it! I CANNOT WAIT!!

How long does it usually take to arrive? I paid online with Paypal by echeck withdrawn directly from my banking account.

I CANNOT WAIT I CANNOT WAIT!! Maybe I’ll ask for lessons from Veena for my bday/Christmas present from my boyfriend. (He’ll really be the one enjoying it anyway https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif )

THANK YOU THANK YOU!

So foxy I typed out an entire response and it didnt save because I wasnt logged in anymore by the time I submitted it? UGH. Basically– the basement is out. It’d be too short, and I stand too tall (at almost 5’9) to even bother spending that kinda money on a too-short-pole.

My other frustration is that I didn’t realize my boyfriend doesn’t really like all this, he was going along with it because it was going to be hidden away in the basement and now "its a sign" that I don’t have anywhere to put it. I’m thinking about taking apart our guest bed so I can use the upstairs bedroom. We NEVER have guests anyway!

Which brings me to my last question. Exactly how inconvenient is it to take down and put up the x-pole when you know company is going to be coming over? How long does it take once you get the hang of it, etc? And would you still recommend the x-pole over anything else in this situation?

THANKS!!

Emily

Yes, exposed as can be https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

My bf checked into it, and we cant put anything in between the joists in the basement. While it would be sturdy, its against what the landlord will allow because that is the floor to the main level, and he can’t run the risk of it being damaged. So our other option was to nailgun a 1ftx1ft square of wood to 2 of the studs/rafters to create a sturdy flat surface for the upper support dome. But thats not looking like its going to work either. With the thinnest piece he feels comfortable using and still relying on it to hold firm for the support dome it would bring my pole down to just under 7ft tall… and that I have an issue with. I feel like I really wouldn’t be able to DO anything on that short of a pole.

I really don’t have anywhere to put a pole on a platform either. I feel like this might be a lost cause. I’ve saved portions of my tips from waitressing for months knowing that I finally was moving into a place where I’d be able to buy my pole, and now its looking like I’ll have to wait until we move again. Wish I had a garage… or 3rd bedroom…
