This is a great video by the way. It would be nice to have comparison videos of all different types of poles. I wish I had something like this when I bought my first pole. It would have saved me a lot of sliding, slipping, anger, etc. It's hard to pick something off the internet to buy. New polers have no idea that there can be such huge differences in quality, sturdiness, etc. I remember my friends asking me if I just bought a pole from a sex toy shop (one of those $70 ones). We need videos like this! Thanks.

I haven't been on in awhile, but just logged on and was shocked to see this kind of venom spewed on SV! What is going on Payton? You say you are a paying customer…why? I just don't get why you would pay a person/family/business you so obviously dislike.
This is strange.
To answer your question, I HAVE poled on Platinum Stages. The pole studio I used to take lessons from originally had platinum stages poles (which they switched out BTW). I've also owned a lil mynx, and now own a Titanium Gold Xpert. My X pole is by far my favorite and the best pole I've worked with.
I originally wanted to buy a platinum stages pole actually. Until I dealt with their customer service which was rude and condescending (much like your posts) and decided that for the rest of my poleing life, I would never give them my money. 🙂

Yay! Glitter! I have been soooo busy lately and didn't have any chance to log on and see if you posted a tutorial! Thank you so much! Can't wait to work on this!

Sounds great Glitter! I have straight eyebrows that look manly if I let them grow in. I’m getting sick of having them look different every time I pluck.
Can’t wait!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif -
ooooo that eyebrow kit is cool. May have to put it on my christmas list!
Can’t wait to see the tutorial glitter! IF your eyebrows need to be done, might as well do it when you do them! Perfect timing! -
I would send an email with the ebay link to xpole. I’m sure they will not appreciate it and probably get them to take off the add or force them to stop using the xpole logo. It will be helpful to have emails to and from xpole in case this somehow goes wrong.

I did the master cleanse last january and it was a total waste of time. You can "cleanse" by eating lots of fresh fruits and veggies and fresh juices.
the cleanse I did required a saline flush every morning which I stopped doing because I read it cleans out all the good bacteria (which you want in there to fight off the bad!).
I researched it a lot before doing it, and people made it sound like it changed their lives. I dont know, maybe my body was cleaned out already because nothing happened for me (in other words, no big cleaning out seemed to be happening). I did it for 8 days total and finally said "screw it." I did however lose 11 lbs in those 8 days, but put about 6 of them back on afterwards. Still wouldn’t recommend it though. I don’t think it’s good for the body. -

I thought about bringing this up one day, then pictured everyone not knowing what I was talking about and imagining me with a huge cavernous "fruit cup" (thanks sascha for my new favorite word for the vaj). https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif I thought it was just because I’m a mom, but glad to hear it happens to (most) everyone. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif -
I really cannot do a sit up on the pole from a hand/elbow stand. I try and I try, and I know it’s just a reverse CAR, but….a lesson would probably help me! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

My husband and I had to put mine together also. I really think it’s necissary for two people. He was the one that mostly put it together https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif , I was busy putting my pole outfit on and getting my ipod ready. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif But, I did have to help him line it up and hold the base while he tightened it.

He’s been gone on a business trip the past few days and came home last night. I sat him down and we talked about it. He did, finally, admit he’s jealous of the pole classes. He said that this is the first time we’ve ever had separate activities and that scares him. He’s afraid that I’ll decide I like my pole friends and pole dancing better than spending time with him. I reassured him that wasn’t true, but that I needed my pole friends and a hobby. I also pointed out that I have taken up playing a card game he likes and that we’ve joined a couple organizations/clubs around the area together, in order to have "couple activities". I reminded him that when we got married we both agreed that it was important to have two portions to our marriage: an us and individuals. It’s important for me to have something and do something for just me. I also reminded him that he once told me that I was self sacrificing to the point that it was dangerous and that I needed to do things more for me and less for other people. I think that was the winning statement of the night, because it really seemed to sink in that he was doing what other people have done with me in the past and just take, take, take. I told him I love him, respect him, and care for him but I’m not budging on my Tuesday night class. I can deal with not going Mondays, especially since I found an equivalent on Thursday during the day; but I am GOING on Tuesday nights.
He said that was fine and agreed that I was being more than fair and that he was being a selfish 5 year old. He seemed to be better after our talk and even asked about the class I took Wednesday.
I’m hoping "the talk" got my point across and that this won’t be an issue again. My studio has a performance coming up in October. I’m hoping to get in on a routine so that he can come and watch and see what I’m learning and doing. I think that will make a big difference. If I can’t get in on a routine, then I am going to bring my camera one day and see about taping one of the mini-routines we do. I really think if he can see what I’m doing, then he’ll being to understand it more.
Thanks again for all the replies. You guys are the best!

Ok. I’ve read all the replies, and this is definately going to come off as the harshest.It’s so hard to not sound mean when conversing in text, so please know this is meant in the calmest, nicest way possible. There were just a few things that bothered me about the dynamics of this situation that I wanted to address.
Does it bother you at all that he is being completely insensitive to your feelings? You like pole, but he thinks it’s silly, so you are going to buy a pole for home so your hobby doesn’t burden him at all? You have a right to have a hobby outside of the home. He’s going to school, where he will likely be away from you, what if you complain to him about that? Will he quit school? HE thinks that your poleing isn’t aiming for a goal, but what do you think? You obviously have goals (like raising levels), but he thinks they are insignificant goals so your willing to give them up? NO GIRL. You can’t go to night classes because he doesn’t like it, so you sacrifce and go to day classes where you aren’t satisfied. Now you are saying "fine I’ll just pole at home." but can’t buy a pole because he is going to school so your hobby/wishes are put on the back burner. It seems like you are giving in a lot.
I’m sorry, I’m really not trying to be harsh or mean. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif I just hear a lot of examples of things your willing to give up for him to be satisfied, but will you be satisfied not going to classes? What is he doing to make sure you feel satisfied and happy with the situation too? I believe marriage is give and take. But, I feel that in big issues, like something that someone loves, makes them happy, etc. that spouses should support eachother, no matter how stupid they think it is. How long are your classes? one hour? two hours? Thats tops 4 hrs a week away from him, bettering yourself and feeling good. I think you need to ask yourself why he doesn’t care if you have that or not. Usually, in these situations, men feel threatened or jealous. Personally, I wouldn’t cater to that behavior and I don’t think you should either. YOUR feelings and opinions matter just as much as his. If he isn’t willing to be supportive and comprimise too, then you will just have to agree to disagree. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
*But I definately think you should buy a pole for home no matter what.
