Hi Runemist https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif you should definitely post some videos so that you can get used to receiving complements and encouragement, and then you can also practice saying "thanks" and feeling good about yourself!!! there is nothing wrong with humility, it's a very good quality as far as i'm concerned. how to not get dragged down? i guess if you have your own standards for yourself, that is more important than trying to live up to others' standards. as far as pole, the whole point is to have fun and feel good about yourself, and we are all here to support each other 🙂

Hey Sues https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif Like Veena said, this happens to all of us at some point. I would definitely work on those strengthening exercises, but also focus on having FUN just dancing and being sexy, put on some music that you love and just practice the "easy" stuff, work on your hip circles, turns and other transitional moves. Some days I don't have enough energy to get on the pole, so I put on a dvd and just do "warmup" stretches and floorwork. Hope you are feeling better soon!!

Hey JeHann! let me know if it worked! I forgot to mention, don't worry about making sure the battery is parallel. I could never do this, and it didn't seem to matter. they say it helps the lights not to go off when not in use. mine used to light up whenever I opened the closet https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif sadly last night I couldn't get them to work. guess I need new batteries too 🙁

Hmm… well I went and found the instructions. they may be useless if your shoes are made differently, but maybe they are the same. 1. open the channel (to get into the shoe where the lights are) with a letter opener or similar object. 2. remove the plastic film from under the battery. the plastic film between the battery and the circuit board is used to conserve battery life. 3. make sure the battery is not tilted when you close the channel, try to keep it as parallel as possible. That's it for instructions. I had to replace the batteries because I did not take them out before shipping them across the country when I moved, and they got used up. okay… now to go find the shoes….. well it sounds like they are the same. If you look at the metal housing, there is a horseshoe shaped opening right where the wires are attached, and you can use a letter opener to push the battery out of the housing, and then just slide/pop the new battery in. they are regular watch batteries. I hope it works! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

Hi Jehanne, I have a pair of Ellie lightups that came with an instruction sheet. I don't know if yours are the same as what I have, but when the shoes arrive, you have to fully insert the battery into place before they will light up. That's because during shipping they get tossed around so much that it would waste the battery. Also, if they need replacing, just bring the battery to any store that sells watches, and they will find the correct match for you. These batteries are very inexpensive. My shoes only have one battery in each shoe. I hope this helps!!

Hi Fern sycamore! Wow, that is awesome! What a great job you have! The girls must appreciate you so much. I guess things have changed, and I'm glad to hear it 🙂 Glitterhips, I hope this is the case for your situation, let us know how it turns out…..

Hey willowbreath & glitterhips – I thought of that, too, and was going to write the same thing. but then I thought, wait a minute, I have never heard of a strip club paying someone to train their girls! Maybe a nice club, but this place sounded kinda low class…

Glitterhips, I don't like the sound of this at all https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif please be careful https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Looks great! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I am also working on the star. I am having a problem with my inside arm (not being able to straighten it fully and getting (stuck) below the knee). I've gotten it a few times, and then other times I can't get it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_geek.gif

Hi Poletwista https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif Thanks for bringing this up! I have been wanting to say something but didn't want to come across as complaining. I definitely like the "old" system of posting and replying to comments much better. It just felt more personal being able to reply to each individual comment, and also getting notifications for the comment replies by email. I myself feel bad that I am not able to take the time to watch and comment on everyone's videos!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_porc.gif

Hi, yes I covered it with a fitted sheet but I had to cut the sheet so that it would fit around where I cut the pad to the middle (so that it would fit around the pole) and then sewed it as best as I could. It's just a regular black sheet 🙂

I use a 6" foam mattress topper that I bought on amazon.com. I don't remember all of the details about it, but it wasonly around $85 for a queen size and shipping was free. you can see it in some of my older videos. the easiest way to cut the foam is with a saw. you need two people, though (one to hold the mattress topper), lol https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif and it makes a big mess, but it beats spending $200 in some 2" mat. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
