Thanks for the updates. Found the submission videos on Youtube. All looked great. Probably more videos from the actual competition will be posted over the next few days. So far, I found two posted. I'll keep checking there. I wanted to attend but had to work.

So far on Youtube I found that Hsiang won in professional division. That's it so far. Still trying to find out about the rest.

I watched the competitors video. All looked great. Trying to find out who won. Nothing on the website. Any ideas on how to find out?

Another thought: I also learn a lot by watching the videos posted here at StudioVeena!

I find that I learn and am also entertained by these DVD's. I have to tell myself, "Stop watching how great she is…..and try it yourself!"

I have both sets also and like to alternate. I think it is worth the money. Lots of information. Great demos. Great explanations.  From those videos: I learned how to do a twisted shoulder mount and pencil V (where you bend over and lean your back against the pole and pull your legs up into "pencil" position. I thought I would never be able to do those moves and I learned from the DVDs. I also learn from StudioVeena videos. I like everything! Instead of buying clothes, I buy pole lessons!

I have been watching Anjel Dust's other videos on Youtube. I think she may have what someone referred to in another discussion as a "pole dancer's butt."  I went to to the gym and did some squats after watching more videos!

I am constantly trying different mascaras. Mascara may be the greatest invention of all time. I will try, Buxom, mentioned by polegirl. In mascaras, I have found anything by Lancome works. Lancome, we all know is usually more expensive than many others. I have also found at my nearby CVS pharmacy….."the Falsies by Maybellne." It's also great.

Thanks, chemgoddes1 : )

Just visited the website. I have never seen it before. Wow, adorable body & eye art. I must try something.

[donnalee]

Yes,  body make up!

I also am left wondering, "What is a poler's butt?" 

[donnalee]

All of your ideas on tutorials sound interesting. I would watch and learn. Here's one idea I want to learn more about. How do I get the smokey eyed look?

I love this topic. Here is one of the first combos, I made up. 1) Twisted grip shoulder mount into v split. 2) Ayesha 3) Attitude handstand 4) V split handstand 5) Slide V split down pole and land into splits on floor. Some days are smoother than others in making these moves flow into one another. But it took a lot of work to get this far : )

Just went to Dirtybirdy on Youtube. She's great. Thanks for posting.
