I enjoyed the video very much. It's so playful, yet magical at the same time. I like to theink og the rope as a more flexible version of the pole, and maybe a little less bling-y?

It WAS fun, wasn't it? So nice to finally meet you.

viper, I don't think you're alone. I do pelvic tilts when I'm waiting at the red lights. One way or another, I need better abs.

Sorry about your troubles with your MIL, Jenn.
I myself don't bother taking down the pole for anyone, not even when there are birthday parties in my house. Everyone can see it because it's in the dining room in front of the window to the street. In fact, people could see the pole from the street if they were to try. The dining room is the only area that has enough clearance all around. It's about 5 feet away from the dinner table. 🙂
Nobody knows it's a stripper pole, as I call it an exercise pole. Kids don't know what it is unless they are told. It's just a pole, and kids like to touch it, get greasy fingerprints on it, etc… Playgrounds have poles, right? In fact, my 10 year old son likes to do things on it, and I teach him how. He looooooves to invert on the pole. As for kids who come over… heck, it's hardware in my house, no different than a decorative pillar, or one of those funky wooden giraffes that some people decorate their homes with.
My basic rule for the kids, is that they may not touch the pole – ever – unless they wash their hands first, and if they want to do something on the pole, it must be 1. with my permission, 2. after washing their hands first, 3. other kids must be well away from the pole, and 4. myself or hubby must spot the kid that's doing something. To date, my kids are unaware that poles can be found in strip clubs, as they have never been in a strip club. If someone comes over and recognizes it as a 'stripper pole' then that's their issue, not mine.
Nobody, child nor adult, has ever given me a hard time for having a pole, so I feel terrible for you that your MIL is being such a (insert nasty word here) about it. Thank goodness your husband is proud of your sport. That you take your pole down when guests are coming is more than I would do.
I wish you the best of luck with the situation, and I give you a big hug, too.
If you can't vent about this here, then where could you?

Ummm – that would be Rio, by Duran Duran. 🙂

I'm gonna HAVE to try this!

I LOVE the Roxy! It is so pretty, and I too get tangled up every time I try it. maybe I should try to get in touch with lola poledancer, too.

I think it's really cool that your hubby gave the pole a whirl. A camera would have been great,can you just imagine? However, it would have been NECESSARY to post it on studioveena, because I think everyone would want to see just how supportive your hubby is of your sport. 🙂

Eagle, I have been questioning my fitness schedule also. I just don't know how to make it fit and still have rest days for recovering. I'm gonna be checking in here again, hoping that somehow someone has an answer.

The studio where I go has oth 38mm and 50mm poles, and on the 38mm, I spin well and can do a split grip better, too – but it's not very good for climbing or sitting, anything that requires a good thigh squeeze. The 50 mm is great for climbing and sitting and a few tricks, but awful for spins. My hands are also very small, and I can't get a good grip on a thick pole like that. I have the feeling that a 45mm would likely solve all my problems. Sadly my home pole is 50 mm, as I had no idea that 45mm poles even existed. My grip just doesn't feel secure on it, and I find myself avoiding my pole, unless I'm in some mood to climb.

That was great – thank for sharing!

sounds intrigueing. I may try this technique. 🙂

I've never recorded anything I did, because honestly, I don't know how. I also don't know how to post them, and hubby could help me but since he doesn't feel good about himself or his loved ones on the internet for anyone to see, I don't think he'l be much help. However, I'd love to eventually. Maybe I need a partner in crime somewhere around here who wants to do the same thing. For now, I only have a few snapshots.
