I love mindy4poles idea to do a dance for mother's day!  i have been thinking of making a video for my mom without any sexy stuff in it.  she doesn't know that my pole fitness is really poledancing, too, LOL 🙂

[tarah]

hey Vamp79 and everyone, I have Ellie's, and there is that problem a little, but I found that you can buy these little pads that go under the ball of the foot (not really gel pads, they are thinner), just look in your local drugstore or walmart, usually there is a section for these type of things.  I found they really help keep my feet from sliding forward and also feel comfy 🙂

Hi Selene, I use a Kodak Easyshare camera.  They have many models to choose from.  I got the M575 which I ordered online for $99, and shipping was free.  🙂

hi vamp79, just wanted to add that protein drinks (protein powder blended with milk in a blender) are a great way to add calories and make sure you are getting all the protein you need.  i order from iherb.com, they have a great selection and prices are much lower than nutrition or health stores.  you can use regular milk or soy milk.  for me it's alot easier than trying to add calories with more food, and bars can be hard to digest.  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_porc.gif

hey sues, congratulations on quitting smoking!!  that is a HUGE accomplishment.  i've had some friends who have done it.  try eating celery or carrot sticks (you can't gain weight no matter how much you eat), i remember when i was in high school this really helped me to lose weight!!  and anyway, as soon as you get going on the pole again, i'm sure you will be feeling better about yourself.  do you have any exercise dvd's?  i like to do sheila kelley's S factor 2 dvd workout, but with my own music playing.  i tend to get lazy and have to force myself to exercise, so the dvd really helps.

Hi Lady  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif    I live on Maui, and Empyrean is correct.  There are two fit4agoddess studios on Oahu, and a new one just opened on Maui.  I work directly with the owner, Ilana, and she is great.  I have actually been assisting in her classes.   As far as dealing with living on the island, all of my family lives on the East coast (NH and NC) but since we're not super-close it's not a big deal for me.  Good luck w your move!!

first of all, this post makes NO sense at all.  even if she was using her phone she still could have done a better job with whatever it was she was trying to say.  and that is absolutely ridiculous to refer to a butterfly as acropole!  polekitten, you had the right idea – get out of there!!!!!

Hi Luvlee  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif  I'm so sorry to hear about your wrist  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif   I hope it will heal quickly.  I have to agree with chemgoddess!!  It really sounds like you are pushing yourself too hard.  Poling should be fun and if you are trying to  "keep up" with other dancers, it could take all fun out of it.    If it makes you feel any better, I have enjoyed watching you more than others who might be more "advanced".  Everyone has there own unique style and personality.  and anyway, you are SO way ahead of me!!  Sorry I can't give any advice on your tg's…  try to take it easy til that wrist is all better 🙂

Gosh that just sucks!!  i didn't read what anyone else said, but i just wanted to say that i don't think you were "mean" to her in comparison to how she is treating you.  she sounds really abusive.  i'm SO glad your husband is there for you to help stand up to her!!!  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
