I spent 3 months in NYC last summer. I used Craigslist and rented a room in an apartment. It was much cheaper than staying in hotels. Good luck!

Awesome, good luck you guys!

I've been really happy with http://www.exotichighheels.com !

I'm sure the pole fits when it's fully assembled… the problem is getting it that way. Once you have the base + A pole + B pole + 500mm extension all put together, you only have half an inch clearance at the top. That's not enough space to put the top dome on! Doesn't matter if the pole is upright or tilted to the side, you just can't get the top dome on in the amount of space you have to work with.
I bet if you had an original X-Pole you could probably do it though. You could just put the top dome directly on the 500mm extension and then screw the extension onto the assembled base + A pole + B pole. There's no way to do something like that with the X-Joint style poles though. =/

Oh, that's a really good tip! Thanks!

Hm, odd. My ceiling in the new place is 9' and 1/4 inch and I couldn't get my pole up with the 500mm extension. It was just barely too tall. I had to order the 200mm extension and use it with the 250mm that comes with the pole.

Ah, so you start and end in the same tucked position then. The name definitely makes more sense that way. It didn't seem particularly sad to drop from crucifix to pole sit! Thanks! =)

Awesome, what a great idea Krissykiki! Pre-emptive grats to the lucky winners! =)

Yeah that's the only video I was able to find, so I tried to copy what she was doing. =)

Thanks Saphyre!
Anyone else have any suggestions for non-inverting spin mode combos? =D

I can think of two really practical reasons why ladies prefer poling in "stripper heels" rather than regular heels. The first is that these shoes are designed for dancing. You're not going to snap the heel off of one because there's a metal rod in there. They also have a rubber grip on the sole so you don't slip on hard surfaces. The second is that there's a lot of moves (mostly floorwork) that are simply easier to execute when you have a platform to slide on rather than your toes.
On the less practical side, I'm sure many ladies choose stripper heels because 1) that's just what people are supposed to wear when pole dancing and 2) they definitely do make you feel sexy as hell. I especially love the stripper heels with the clear platforms, because they make your legs look sooooo long without adding any visual weight to your foot. (If you're not sure what that means, check out any video with a girl dancing in 7 inch black platforms. It looks like she has bricks on her feet.)

Oops. The spinny combo is at 1:25 in the video.

No need to feel silly! The fear of falling is pretty fundamental to human nature. I was terrified of spinning backwards when I started poling, but I worked through it by trying and bailing out of the the back hook spin over and over. It got better with practice and one day it just stopped being scary. I had the same trouble with layback type moves, too. It will all come with time! It's partially a "need to develop the strength" issue, generally, and partially a "need to learn to trust myself and the pole" issue. Practice fixes both! Good luck!

Then I'll see you there! =D

I couldn't get it to work on the MTV site or Marlo's FB page, but I found it here:
