MemberFebruary 17, 2011 at 2:59 am in reply to: Pole aliases/Stage-names/Alter-Egos???OMG EXCELLENT advice THANKYOU Runemist! Ok, so will def google potential name first. Would rather not be facing a law suit if I ever decide to use my name for a business/logo/whatever. 😛
Ok so you vote for Monroe, and maybe Saoirse, except its prob gunna tongue tie everyone… hmmpf. Ok… excellent, we r narrowing it down!!! I need more second opinions though! PLEASE, have your say! You can determine my future pole-dancing identity!! lol 😀
Oh and it might be pertinant to mention some of my key characteristics, so that you can interpret whether the name suits me as a dancer or not at all…. I guess I dance kinda fluid and flowy… and sometimes sultry, love rock n roll music… umm but my personality is kinda bubbly and sweet, not raunch or grunge. Soooo maybe just check out my videos and then get back to me!! hehe 😉 Thanks!!!!

MemberFebruary 9, 2011 at 1:10 am in reply to: Making Stripping IllegalMrs naughtywed pretty much said it all. I stripped for a year in Sydney in a posh Gentlmens club, so i guess I got the upperclass end of the scale, in both customers and staff…. but in any working environment you'll come across troublemakers and sleazebags, however I was lucky that most were pleasant and harmless…
Look, i am a HUGE feminist, but I guess im third-wave feminist, in that I believe women have won the right to self-determine their own lives, we've got the freedom to own our own bodies. So what we want to do with our bodies is totally our own business, and I dont think that its appropriate for the government to make this illegal. Some might claim its degrading or disempowering and sexist to allow or support women using their bodies to earn money, but from a politicall and empirical point of view, I have to disagree. It may be in the name of protecting women, but to my mind making it illegal for women to earn money for taking off their clothes or dancing in the nude is taking their rights of freedom of choice back away from them, its disempowering.
Stripping is not inherently evil or degrading. Its how the individual woman feels about it, how it makes her feel, the limits and values and principles she has, that determine wether its a good or bad thing for her. I found dancing on stage and getting nude for strangers to be strangely empowering, exhilirating, liberating. I felt like I was no longer being inhibited by social conventions, I felt proud of my own courage and daring, it taught me to be self-confident and appreciative of my body, what it looks like and what it can do. I think the human body is an incredible thing, and should be celebrated and appreciated whenever possible, not hidden away or covered for modesty or the law's sake. But thas just me. As Naughtywed said, it depends on the individual woman.

MemberFebruary 7, 2011 at 4:38 pm in reply to: So do tell…. 45mm or 50mm? or other 🙂I trained at Bobbis on 38mm… and the pole I have at home is also a 38mm… which I love love love. I have no problem gripping with my thighs, which I hope means thigh grips on anything bigger will be a cinch for me when I try a 50. However I am really nervous about trying spins n stuff on a 50, as I too have little hands… The pole at the club that I worked at was probably a 45, and I didnt really notice that much difference to the 38, but a 50 makes me quite nervous… lol.

If you're an arty farty type like me, you'll love the Art Gallery of New South Wales, which is near the Botanical Gardens/Circular Quay/Opera House. You should try and check all of these out! A ferry ride across Sydney Harbous is the best way to view the Operan House and the beautiful views… plus its fun! You can catch a ferry across the harbour to Luna Park (if ur into Theme parks) or catch a ferry to Watsons Bay and have lunch at Doyles Seafood Restaurant on the beach – its stunning and delicious, plus historically interesting – It was Australia's very first fish n chips shop, way back in the 1800's! (I used to work there as a waitress – not in the 1800's, lol, just a fwe years ago :P)
I grew up in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney (where the famous Bondi beach is located). Dont just visit Bondi, as it can get uncomfortably crowded. Bronte, Clovelly and Coogee beaches are just as beautiful, and less touristy. There is a coastal walk you can do from Bondi to Coogee and back which offers AMAZING views over the Pacific Ocean… its about a one hour walk, so its a good workout too! I highly recommend it 🙂 Just ask one of the locals to point u in the right direction, everyone knows about it.
Hyde Park is really beautiful, as is St Mary's Cathedral (near Hyde Park and the Art Gallery of NSW).
Glad to hear you have already booked in at Bobbi's Pole Studio! Thats where I trained – they are amazing teachers who really know their stuff and are soooo friendly. You'll have a blast! My favorite teachers were Chilli (very vivacious and confident) and Isabella (quiter but very sweet). Cleo is also fantastic, and she came runner up to Felix Cane in Miss Pole Dance Austalia 2011. So she is extremely talented too. 🙂
If you're in the mood for some retail therapy, Bondi Junction's Westfield is HUGE and offers everything… For Pole STuff, go to highheels.com on Elizabeth st, Surry Hills (you can walk up the hill from Central Train Station).
Hope this helps…. have a great time! 🙂

MemberJanuary 27, 2011 at 4:35 pm in reply to: FAQ for Pole Name moves?Ohh yes I agree, that would be so handy… to have like a glossary/dictionary of pole dance tricks. I think there are a few on the net, but not sure if the pole names used are universal… ?

MemberJanuary 21, 2011 at 6:52 pm in reply to: 2011 February ChallengeNot sure if I should be posting a new idea for feb challenge here, but I couldnt figure out how to start up a new thread…
I was just inspired by PeaceLoveBlond's recent video "Thursday play". Throughout her dance, her friend kept changing the music and switching songs… and it actually worked really well. It meant she had to instantly and smoothly alternate tempo and pace, mood and attitude etc… If we were all to attempt a seamless dance to several different songs back to back (obviously not playing the whole song, just 30-60 seconds or so) it would test our adaptability and quick reflexes, and it would force us to diversify our dancing style… from fast rock to slow and sentimental to fun (maybe reggae lol). The vids would be really fun to watch too….
Anyway just an idea… 🙂

MemberJanuary 19, 2011 at 1:06 am in reply to: 2011 February ChallengeI like this idea… although im not sure if i can remember EXACTLY which album i first bought… but its got great possibilities. Maybe the first album you fell in love with might be easier to remember… they're prob interchangable… anyway, good idea.

MemberJanuary 30, 2010 at 11:46 am in reply to: Name one thing…and NO apologies!!FANTASTIC THREAD! It was a lovely thought from a lovely person that got this going….
I love my blue eyes
I love my long wavy hair
I love my toned tanned legs
I love my hands (they make beautiful art)
I love my voice (it lets me sing)
I love my broad and toned back
I love my curvy butt n hips – hello hourglass figure
I love my slim wrists
I love my feet (they have carried me so far – and look hot in heels! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
I love my lips
I love my tiny ears
I love my freckles
I love my cute nose

ooo and i love my collarbone/shoulder/decolletage area… such a sexy body part on a womanwow i think ive sent enough love to myself for now – then again, can there ever be too much? I think we r tempted to balance out the self-praise with nagative comments because maybe we dont want to be considered full of ourselves…. but i think its much better to overestimate urself than it is to underestimate yourself when it comes to body self-image!
Thanks for the lovely love

MemberJanuary 23, 2010 at 5:42 am in reply to: Sexuality and Pole DancingHi Runemist,
thanks for the reply. Yes i agree – im not so sure about the possible requirement for lap-dancing…. a policy of no-touching would suit me much better…. but im prepared to to give it a go and see what i can handle and what i cant. Im not going to push myself to do anything i dont like. Thats one of the main reasons i want to give it ago, coz i feel like stripping is a great opportunity if utilized properly etc… and my attitude is kind of: well if i can, i should try….
huh u were right to call me up on the slight sterotyping of men…. i actually dont have that much experience of men in romantic relationships myself… im only 21 and ive always been single – just never met a guy i liked enough to date more than once or twice https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif I guess when i said "a male dominated world" i was referring more to history… it has been in the past but i think women r finally beginning to be treated like equals… and seen as more than just our bodies, and more than just domestic house-wives….
I hope that most guys are like the guys uve been lucky enough to have relationships with…. heres hoping… anyhoo thanks for the chat https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

MemberJanuary 23, 2010 at 4:12 am in reply to: Sexuality and Pole DancingFantastic topic… and obviously very controversial… Not sure if it’s been brought up yet, but im gunna talk about stripping and its connection to sexuality in dancing….
I feel sad when women say they dont feel comfortable expressing their sexuality and sensuality, especially when dancing…. its not their fault ofcourse because its prob just a result of centuries of a male dominated world determining social norms and values for women, and projecting their own insecurities and judgments onto womens self-image. Call it sexual repression. The double standard. They want a whore in the bedroom but a buttoned up goody-two-shoes at the dinner party.
For me, one of the major attractions of pole dancing has always been the dancer’s attitude; the proud and confident expression of female sexuality. Maybe it’s the exhibitionist or egoist in me, but Im proud of my fitness, proud of my skills, proud of my body, so i naturally love to show it off to people. Dancing, as other members have written, is such a beautiful, natural way to totally succumb to your physical instincts, to let go of the nervous, neurotic encumbrances of the mind and just BE. Its so freeing to allow ur body to take over, so that all your emotions can be authentically expressed, explored, released. Its therapeutic. In so saying, I also love just as much to dance by myself, for myself. And even then I enjoy being sensual and sexual… I think it’s so important to be able to find yourself attractive… you cant base ur self-image on what others think of you.
It is irrational to try and deny that pole dancing did not originate in strip clubs, and that it is not essentially tied to the sex industry. I dont feel that this connection between pole dancing and stripping somehow lessens the value of it. And, it is my personal opinion that it is irrational to automatically demote the entire sex industry as anti-feminist, degrading, and dirty. Ive never seen how a man being willing to pay you handsomely for the privilege of seeing you naked is anything but complimentary. Being appreciated for her body does not devalue the woman’s other qualities. As long as she is aware of her own value which exceeds her tits and ass (ie; her mind, personality, her other skills etc) then why not take the money, flash the guy some skin, and say "Thankyou very much".
Im about to commence a career as a stripper. To me its a logical evolution… I need a job but i dont want to work my butt off waitressing long hours only to be payed the minimum wage. I adore pole dancing and im good at it, I love nudity and think that the female body should be revealed in all its glory more often… so why not get payed a fortune for doing something i love? When friends react badly to the news of my future aspirations, I am more dissappointed in them than they are in me…. it depresses me to encounter narrow-minded and dogmatic views in those i care for… ppl are shocked or embarrassed just because stripping is a social taboo, because working in the sex industry is transgressing some kind of unwritten rule… do they honestly think that how i earn my money is going to tarnish or lessen who i am? Some have said "This isnt you" which makes me sad… the image of me that they had in their heads isnt realistic. I am who I am, and I do what I want to do, and I refuse to limit my options or live my life according to popular opinion or socially-accepted norms.
Does anyone get what im trying to say? Would love to hear feedback from you, as long as its intelligent – not a blistering bitter and negative diatribe to vent your own neurotic insecurities…
Ciao https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
