And this is my, “I can do anything I want, baby, I ain’t lost” pose.

I’m dating myself with this costume. Hopefully the younger members have seen the movie on TV, rather than in the theater like I did.

I’ve never used Dirty Girl Poltice but I always hear that recommended for sweaty hands. I don’t have super sweaty hands but when I’m slipping lately I use (any of them) with Mighty Grip on top. In the past I just used Mighty Grip. I can attest that Cramer’s is incredibly grippy and I can’t imagine using it on my hands because I’m afraid it would injure me because of complete inability to slide or move my hands. My suggestion would be to try different combinations of a couple of products if you’ve tried all the products individually.

I have a great costume for an October challenge!

Good for you! And I’m so jealous. 🙂

Awwww, SpeedyG, that’s great!
I forgot to mention that my pole is in the bedroom too just because it was the best place with the highest ceiling so I get the occasional comment about it from friends–mostly from a friend relaying what their husband said along the lines of, ‘that’s the way to spice up a marriage.” Whatever. Most of my girlfriends and coworkers have seen videos of me doing tricks or seen it in person so they haven’t really made those kinds of comments.
To MarineBarbie, please don’t let your friends make you feel bad about not dancing for your husband. I would be very surprised if most of the people saying those things would have the guts to really do what they’re suggesting you do. Some, yes, but most I’m guessing no. When folks say this kind of stuff I like to just smile and let them guess what goes on at my house–none of their business. 🙂

You’re definitely not alone MarineBarbie. I pretty much feel the same. I have only done one live dance/strip tease for my husband and it took all of my courage. I do occasionally make videos and send them to him–I’m more comfortable with that. I know that’s not the same but it’s what works for me. At first I only sent videos or pictures to him and he said he would like to see something in person so I did my one dance. I’m sure I will do more when I’m ready. I’m not the sexiest dancer either. I try but I’m probably more of a trick/gymnastics person too. I’m working on the sexier side and I do love my heels. Heels are a great confidence builder.
I think my husband does find the pole dancing sexy but he also recently made a comment that he thinks it’s more about empowering me, which he said is good, but I was a bit taken aback by that. Made me wonder if he’s politely watching because he knows it’s good for my self esteem rather than watching because he thinks it’s hot.
Regardless, poling is for me. I would be doing it whether I was married or not and whether he was interested or not. I certainly wouldn’t dance for him if I didn’t want to–it’s something I want to do but I can imagine some women wouldn’t want to and I think that’s fine too.

I just went to your profile to see if there were pics of your magenta hair–I LOVE IT! It looked great on you!

Do it! Can’t wait to see the result.
I felt like a black sheep in my family when I was younger. I probably still am the black sheep but I absolutely do not care now. I did then and it was painful–I wanted them to accept me as I was. You sound like you’re on the right track. Do and be what you know is right for you. People will either come around to you or not. Obviously we have no control over other people but living a certain way to please others will never make you happy.
Dye that hair if it makes you happy. To my mind, folks that have time to sweat the small stuff (and hair color and choice of hobby such as pole dancing are small stuff) simply have too much time on their hands or haven’t seen enough of the big stuff. I’m a nurse and, while I’m type A and used to sweat the small stuff, I’ve now seen enough tragedy to know, it’s nearly all small stuff. Life is short.

Thank you Tropical–don’t ask me how I was unable to see NEXT LESSON right in front of my face!
Long day, I guess.
-
I’m a moron, someone please help me.
I have watched the video explaining the 30-day take off but I don’t understand what the 30 lessons are. Do we just do the first 30 beginner lessons? I am 100% certain this answer is right in front of my face but I’ll be darned if I can find it.

Ditto what others have said. Happens to me too. Usually my strength isn’t quite up to snuff so I just work on something non-strength related.

How did you book this photo shoot? I poked around on Don’s FB page but I’m the only person in the world not on FB so I’m not very good at finding my way around. Is there a schedule somewhere of where he is and when he has shoots and appointments available?
-
I just googled Don Curry and looked at his work. Go, woman! You must. His work is beautiful. Would love to see how it turns out if you’re inclined to share.
Go and and enjoy it! I’m jealous. 🙂

I think your rigid instructor should “think long and hard” about why it’s so important to HER that you have your hair down. Ridiculous.
I actually think the idea of pole and yoga together sounds interesting but renaming everything seems a little silly (and arrogant), and the rigid rules are, as someone else said, rather anti-yoga.
I also find it interesting that she insists on platform heels for her yoga-style pole. I don’t think heels and yoga even belong in the same sentence. It’s a shame there is not another studio nearby because it sounds like they might have some ready-made clients who are tired of pole dancing under the soup nazi’s tutelage.
