HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY! (My Boring Life, lol)
HAPPY ST. PATTY’S DAY GIRLS AND BOYS! (Posted this on the board just now, for chit chat purpose, but thought i’d throw it in as a quickie blog post…pole related news coming likely tomorrow, if not thursday in my next post, I PROMISE!)
I know not everyone is irish, i really am not, unless you talk to my mother, while she is drinkin a few glasses of wine, then suddenly, she says i have a ‘wee bit of irish in me’, hehe, but i’ve always ‘celebrated it’ not like easter, but cornbeef & cabbage, etc, dressing in green, taking photos, wearing buttons and stupid tiaras, you know ‘normal stuff’ tee hee…
No green beer this year, i’ve found it’s too appealing to the kids, lol. something about the color, so i’ve only tried that one once, and i didn’t care for the green teeth that became of it.
(no..not long term, lol).ANYHOW, you KNOW you have a boring life when……here it goes, you go to call target for an appt. for easter photos, which i meant to do all week but was sick with the flu and just didn’t get to it until this evening. the website said 9:00 so i said ‘ok’ and called around 7, so it rings, and rings, and rings, so i just let it continue, sort of forgetting, free minutes don’t start till after 9, and i’m using the cell phone, lol, but whatever on that one,
sooo….i call back again, let it ring, like another 8 minutes or so as i try to read some of my email quick, but noone was picking up, so i finally picked 0, to speak to someone, and someone gets on, and she looked at the schedule for the depts, and the photo center/ portrait studio, closed minutes before i called at 7pm. ok, now it’s 8:52, i got off the phone with her, from like 7:50 when i finally pushed the 0 button, until about 5 minutes ago, lol. almost an hour chit chatting with a total stranger.
I’m really good, i was able by her voice to guess her age, and she just turned 22, and i said 22…i guessed she didn’t have kids, and i was right, next thing i know i’m preaching to her about (in a comical way along the way), how fast that next decade goes by, never waste your life on the wrong man, on anything you aren’t happy with, and just got way way too detailed with a freakin stranger. (it happens often, lol)
She wasn’t brushin me off, she was laughin her head off actually. i have this way sometimes where, like one time i called paypal meaning to YELL AT THEM, haha, BUT I TRIED, I’M a wuss honestly, i do the best i can, but i’m usually too nice to a fault, but it was christmas time, and i had been double charged for gifts i bought hubby from buy.com, i called up to rant and let ‘em have it, and the lady was NICE, i couldn’t i just talked and somehow we got into her life history, my life history…we were on the phone, no kidding like 3 hrs, i’m suprised we didn’t exchange addresses, lol. (BTW they never did rectify that completely, i still ended up somehow partially in the hole, grrrr…, but i’ve had a zillion transactions, so a few i’ve had trouble with are little compared to the amount, but still, who has money to throw away??), but the way she explained things it made complete sense, and she was soo nice who could yell at her? then we had a ton in common, and i just welp, kept on goin as did she. she wanted to talk all night, i know why, so she didn’t have to deal with all the people that call up and scream in their faces (welp in the phone receivers anyhow), because of these lil ‘issues’, i’ve been angry b4, but usually have hubby do the job for me, welp for the cell phone bill’s sake, next time he shouldn’t tell me to grow a backbone cause it obviously did not work:) I can’t be mad at anyone no matter how i feel when they are nice and it honestly isn’t their fault.
brings me back to memories of certain jobs of mine. telemarketing….that never worked out because i was so sensitive if people hung up i wanted to cry, i was soo nervous, cause i know that IS bothering them, but i was really young and sensitive then, i don’t kow HOW people do that job for any length of time, and then i worked as a waitress..NEVER AGAIN, people get mad if something doesn’t taste good, yet YOU ARE NOT THE ONE WHO COOKED IT?
thus, my point is, how can i get angry with the paypal person who has nothing to do with it, or the lady who answers the phone at target, who isn’t the webmaster who made the fu-pa, lol, so instead of being mad, i get overly nice, sometimes chatty, and yadda yadda, i might not get any discount, but i know her name, and i do shop for my sockies there, sometimes undies to, so , lol.
She’s like ‘get home safe’, and i had to laugh on the inside, cause #1, i was (am) at home, and #2, i hadn’t drank anything. i still have a scratchy throat, and the two don’t mix, and hubby and i had a lil falling out earlier in the day, so maybe, just maybe i needed someone to talk to, and eventhough he didn’t come up, the target lady, she was there, lol… and that is how you know you have a dull life, or just a gift of gab that doesn’t wanna shut up. (or a mix, lol).
AHH, see now it’s 9:03 apparently i can call anyone for free, how is that fair? i didn’t know it until she had said it. noone i care to call, lol, i’d rather talk to strangers. Maybe someone on ebay will tick me off, not send me something (when i can buy something again, though i really shouldn’t get back in that game again), but i digress, maybe i should call up an old seller i’m ticked at, and really give it to them! (like what? a few laughs and my phone #)????
iam a TRUE wuss! I LOVE YOU ALL, I hope Irish or not, celebrate or not, you had a wonderful day, and ((hugs)) to you all.
much luv, shelly
PS- hope someone had a nice cold one, or a cosmo, or glass of wine or something for me…the lonely girl chatin with the ‘help’ lol.

Almost SCAMMED! *Sigh*By exdiva69 on March 3, 2009 | No Comments
Perhaps just wishful thinking, hoping maybe lady luck decided to finally swing my way, maybe a little desperation, because I haven’t been ANYWHERE outside of this dang state, the same city, since my honeymoon! But Perhaps, a combination platter of these things, caused me to nearly, get scammed. Even when I was going to write this post in the morning, with a ’scam..question mark?’. I still wasn’t 100% sure if it was a scam, and I was just going to have to put something in, (fee wise), which i didn’t think earlier, i mean FREE, IS FREE, but I should know better, living in NY, born and raised, how could I not realize, nothing is ever free, and also, my luck just ain’t that good.
What am I referring to? Hubby says I got a phone call on his cell yesterday saying I had filled out a lil card, for a free vacation, at the local pizzeria, which I had done, you know, you fill it out, put it in the little box, and I have not done that since I was a child, I just lately have been thinking, my luck has been so bad, my entire life, that I’m just basically do for something great, ya know? I’m sure I’m not alone in that feeling, but trust me, if I had all day, and wrote out all the things that have made me so unlucky, your jaw would hit the floor, you’d throw your arms up and cry ‘YOU WIN’, for now, just trust me, in what I’m saying, lol.
Whelp, supposedly I won 4 days, and 3 nights, on a bahama cruise for 2, FREE vacation. (Did i mention FREE?). It said, NO timeshare, no catch, no fine print, yadda, yadda, so when I listened myself to the message, I sort of believed it..YEAH I FINALLY won something, and I finally get a trip, which I have been dying for, I was ready to pack, lol. I mean, at 1st I had slight reservations, but knowing that it wasn’t an online thing, so obviously phoney, and it was a REAL person on the phone, not a voicemail message, and I kept in mind, that I DID fill out a card, and my name COULD have been selected, and thinking, who would allow a scam to run in their place of work, right?, I always thought of those types of things as ‘real’, just unlikely for me to win, so I didn’t bother, but something urged me to do it, and I thought, YEAH it paid off. Whelp, lady luck was behind my shoulder, laughing a little bit, I’m sure.
Last night, I called the # the lady had told me to call. I mean by the sounds of it, hubby told me not to be excited, just because, he knows, we just ain’t lucky enough, and he had been scammed in a different way before, but then again not TOO differently, and wanted me to keep my head on my shoulders, which I had thought I had, until disappointment sets in, and your super duper bummed, which means, I never did keep my head on straight at all apparently. That is the true test, you don’t get majorlly disappointed, if you keep your distance on an idea, and don’t put any stock in it.
Like I said, I had called the #, and oh boy, there was a voice mail, (bad thought), but the guy sounded very genuine, so I thought, professional, and I thought, ok this could still be good. Whelp, about 10+ minutes in, there was no mention of the plane fare, or cruise part, being FREE, I heard about the hotel accommodations, but what about the rest? I started going..oh no,I mean that’s the most expensive part of the trip. I don’t live in Florida or the Bahamas, so it would be $500 maybe more nowadays, just to get to Florida, so that was certainly bad news, but I thought it was a free vacation, not a free motel room? Whelp, then he continued on, and made it seems again, sort of nice, with the boat ride, and dinners aboard, free meals if you choose the cruise option, and then it hit..cruise option $99 a person, for port taxes or something like that. Even this morning I thought, whelp $200 for a cruise including drinks and food, is a steal, BUT now we are adding a bunch of money we do not have right now, on top of this so called ‘free vacation’. They can make it sound decent regardless, IF you are one of the suckers like me, who actually stays on the phone for that long. I didn’t even realize at the time, as I did today, cause I guess I just wanted it to be real, so I could get that dang vacation I’ve been itching for for over 1/2 a decade, and that there were lil other things like hotel room taxes, I never even knew hotel rooms had taxes on them, that is the only good part of being a woman, not having to pick up the tab for dinners and trips, lol, whelp at least I guess not until your married, if you have an income, lol.
Part of the reason i created this site, aside from the, I’m happy to be good at something, and also, to help others, and feel good in the process, because I had the idea to do this a long time ago, just didn’t know if i’d be good enough, that was the negative side talking then, but another benefit, at least for the monetary part, many free things to have fun and do here at ipole, but..is to help with the struggle I see hubby going through on a regular basis ($ wise). It wouldn’t be alot, but something certainly would be a contribution to what i see on a daily basis, that causes alot of stress between him and himself, and even between the two of us. I’d feel good about it, if I contributed something, so it will be a nice perk, but I digress back to my story….These lil things (mentions of taxes and such, in the message), seemed to slip by me, and this morning I decided to do what I smartly always do, but not always a benefit to me..check it out online.
Whelp, if it wasn’t for online reading, who knows, how stupid I might have been, still thinking..maybe the trip is a good deal and idea, and get so into it, I’m packing my swimsuits, because I only had to do a tad of research and was then able to easily read about other people, completely and totally hooked, line, and sinkered, on this ’scam’, and pondering about the same free trip, some already having paid between $85-$200 up front, for quote un quote ‘fees’. At least I had not gone that far.
I can’t even make it to the USPDF Pole dancing championships in a couple weeks, like I had wanted to, right now, I just don’t have the $140, and that is just bummer enough, especially living not far from the event, like a slap in the face, so as you can see, no money to spend, and so I was glad I read all I had, but disappointed at the same time, because, I wasn’t chosen, I wasn’t special, I didn’t win, I’m still the same unlucky loser I was before the call. Isn’t that damn sad to think about yourself..to yourself? That’s how I felt though.
The people who did take the trip, said there were other hidden fees that came into play down the line, and that accommodations were substandard, and I checked out the hotel they said we’d be staying at (I’d say they are right), and booking your own trip would be better and cheaper even, and the boat is a lil ferry like thing, you are on for like 8 hrs, and not a true cruise at all. Then there was mentioned, that they were not really chosen, that EVERYONE gets a phone call, who enters for this so called ‘free trip’ and to prove it, one girl and her boyfriend entered, and both got separate calls, that they won. That just made my heart sink and go ‘ok, I didn’t lose any money, but faith in luck and happiness in the thought of a getaway, sure went out the window’.
You know, all my husband has said for me the past few years, is that you HAVE to play the lottery, you are bound to hit big, and he knows my whole life from birth and up, can’t tell you how many times, as I can be quite the little chatter box, lol, me? no….lol. But he’s never heard of someone falling into so many crazy rare situations, having so many negative twists of fate, soo much bad luck, he just said no way, it’s time for you, you have gotto play the lottery or something, your time has gotto be coming. I’ve never been a huge gambler, not with my own money anyhow, lol, I like getting tangible goods with my cash, but at the same time, I did at least (WAH) enjoy a nice trip to Vegas, but it was never on my dime, I haven’t been anywhere since being married, so I’d be the cheapest gambler in the world if I was paying myself, lol, I just like something to show for my money, but I do enjoy the thrill of a good slot machine pull, or keno game, or even quick draw, poker, stuff like that, I just could never get hooked on it and spend a fortune, that isn’t me. I know someone who sinks their child support that way, and I just don’t understand how something can be that addictive and not be ingested internally, but it’s obviously quite possible.
So anyhow, I get these lil things in my inbox from a ‘fortune teller..some sort of person like that’, just free inserts with a lil message, and stuff like my lucky days and numbers, once every few weeks or so, not even sure how I ended up getting subscribed to that, but they have been coming for a couple years now, I hardly ever read them, but when I do there has been a lot of luck, and money, in them, and whatever, I don’t put any stock in that, nice to hear, but never comes true, and this happened last night it said that before I found out the truth about the trip and I was like ‘hmmm’, but joke on me again. I like I said am not a huge gambler, so I don’t play lotto but once in a blue moon, for a buck, and I mean like once every couple years, lol and I haven’t bought a scratch off lottery ticket since like 1989, lol. a kid basically. That was cause they were sort of cool, and I had a friend, you know, one of those friends, who wins at EVERYTHING, EVERYTIME, the kind you are happy for, but at the same time, you wanna scratch their eyes out (just kidding Maddie, lol), but literally every scratch off game, I WON, every carnival game ever played, impossible ones even, lol, WON, she’d take home 150 prizes, and I’d be sitting there with nothing, and she’d hand me something and go ‘Here shelly’. that is her, I’m the opposite, so she should be playing the big lotto, that is for darn sure, but I’m just not this type of person, but hey if my luck was due for a change, OK THEN, I’ll try.
I picked out a bunch of numbers, ended up filling out 10 lotto games for mega millions, and hubby turned them in, $10 for one game (I didn’t realize that all the #’s apply to the same game). I thought that is crazy and soo not me, I could get a shirt for that, marked down from $60 to $10, lol, that is my thought processes, but he said DO IT, your due and so I did. It was actually Friday, February 13th, so I figured, an unlucky person, on an unlucky day, but alas, as you can see, pining away on a stupid bahama vacation, I did not become the next mega millionaire, lol.
I know the last 2 blog entries, have ZERO to do with pole dancing, AT ALL, but I wanted to vent and to show that there are a couple things in life that do hold true. Nothing in life, is truly ever free, everything has strings when it seems to good to be true, and on that note, if it is too good to be true, Whelp, keep your purse strings closed, that is, unless you’re the invinsible Maddy.
Whelp I have a pounding migraine since yesterday, so I gotto get my eyes off this screen, it’s making me nuts. Sorry I wasn’t on the board yesterday (or today, thus far), but my head is really pounding away, nothing seems to wanna work on it, so i promise to be back in action ASAP. Kids are also under the weather with a cold so…One of those CALGON TAKE ME AWAY moments in time.
I’ll be back with something pole dancing related in my next post, I promise with a video or something, and I appreciate it, if you didn’t laugh and call me sucker after reading this story..naive a bit? maybe, but I don’t wanna think of myself as a sucker. Now if I went for that direct buy crap, lol, then call me a sucker. A actually had to go and get hubby to run back in and get his $500 deposit back on that scam, now that day he was a big sucker. NEVER fall for that one, unless you have 20 million dollars to spend on a home you will start refurnishing from top to bottom, lol, but he can’t make fun of me once I bring up THAT sorted little tale.
Much love, hugs, and kisses, (until next time), shelly
PS- I might extend the deadline for the contest, because I haven’t really promoted it fully yet, so I’ll keep you posted on that front. I can’t believe we are in March already. Spring around the corner..YEAH!
PSS- Don’t think I don’t know how to space paragraphs, and align them properly, wordpress, is weird like that, i edit, and center, and add my spaces, and it sort of oddy ‘does it’s own thing’, sometimes I can’t get my blog posts to bold no matter how many times i select it. Anyone w/ experience on this type of site? GREAT $100 there, lol. xoxo

Tough Times…HOPEFULLY Will Get Better (Personal), Then Some Pole Move Talk!
Hey everybody!!
Sorry long time no hear, just alot of madness going on around me. Worried about my mom, having an angiogram today, she spoke only quickly, but said something rather shocking and alarming, which I can find ZERO info. about online, nor getting answers from her, that she is missing 1 or more, (I thought she used the word arteries, but I won’t know more until after the test and she gets some answers to me), in and of itself, a miracle she trusted me with this info, she likes to keep secrets, but it would have been nice to talk more then a few seconds about a medical ordeal like this. *sigh*, so naturally I’m worried. Doesn’t sound very pretty at all, but I’m HOPING it’s something that isn’t as it sounds, HORRENDOUS, and turns out to be nothin major. Between that and my dad last week telling me, he feels the impending doom of a massive heart attack (He has 4 brothers, all of which have had heart attacks by, or around, his age, and open heart surgeries), I understand SOME fear, but he isn’t them, and is doing all he can, to take care of himself, yadda yadda, but when I try and offer support, I’m cut down. He’s just acting like next it’s his turn and he could be at death’s door, so it’s real nice to have your parents like this, and worrying about your hubby’s health, and all, it’s rough. It was definite time to grab the pole for some quick therapy. Best anti-depressant there is.
On top of it all, I must admit I have been secretly worrying about my own health to. Ever since my mom told me about something she saw on the news, how prior head trauma (concussions), can cause future problems like dementia and early Alzheimer’s, which is NOT something someone like me wanted to hear, I’ve been knocked out cold several times in accidents (non-pole related), along with a couple less serious blows, that were possibly concussions, I’ll never know, but that and also, recently hearing that from my Dr. alarmed me, having it confirmed by a news special as if these are sort of ‘new’ findings, and this is what’s inevitable for me, or so it FEELS like, when you have had my unlucky life in that dept, I mean it shakes you to the core, the mere thought of that happening to me, is REALLY stuck inside my brain.
I’ve always been a bit of a hypochondriac, admittedly, but this is one time, noone is talking me down and sayin, ’Nah, only in worse cases, like boxers and stuff, with like a ton of knock outs…you’ll be just fine’ or that means only like 1% of the people who have had this kind of history, it WON’T happen to you, chances are so so so so very slim on that, but can’t find that written anywhere or spoken either, by anyone I talk to, how am I supposed to feel? *Sigh*, I always thought I was just insanely lucky to be here w/o any horrible after effects, that someone has definately been looking out for me, and now i gotto be freaked out about what MAY happen down the road because of it?
I gotto be sooo careful, now more then ever, especially in a risky sport as this is, but thank God for it, cause it is the way to get my thoughts off of myself, and onto something much more happy and positive. Saftey is most important, especially to anyone who has been in my shoes, take heart in my story PLEASE! Any prayers you all could send to my family right now, I’d just REALLY appreciate it.
I know we’ll survive as we always do, gotto try and be +++, and strong, I’ve often wondered where the human breaking point on strength truly is, surely there must be one, but i should have reached mine sooo long ago, it isn’t even funny, yet here I stand, and sit, and pole, and type, and walk, and so, you truly can handle much more, then you ever imagined, take heart in that, those also who have been, or currently going through, rough times in your life. Don’t turn to the bottle, or pills, or anything damaging to you as a person, turn to your pole, it’s better then anything else you will ever find, and if YOU… (anyone of you) out there, ever need someone to trust, and talk to…I’m here for you, just as you all are for me:) . OH, the phone just rang…oops, had mom’s ring tone, but it’s only at&t, hey…I paid my bill, WTH, do you all want? lol.
ANYHOW on a brighter note. Today, I finally got my spinning superman, 1 move I found to look so simple, but turn out to be the most tricky of all, extremely surprisingly. Now that we are off the topic of grimness, and onto more positive things, let’s talk a bit about pole moves. Hmm…let’s see, I’m gonna ask myself questions and answer them, in case any newbies wanna compare their own answers, to my own, NOW & IN THE FUTURE.
What was the biggest nemesis I had early on, when I first started at the pole? Definitely the superman, but it became one of the simplest advanced moves to be done repeatedly, w/o incident, FOR ME anyhow, and so looking back hard to admit that was like THE impossible move to me, way back when, when watching others do it. Funny how that happens huh?
What was the most impossible move, even many months in? The damn knee hold. it’s a matrix kind of move, that just looks like it defies all gravity, but somehow is humanly possible. I just hate it cause I always feel it on my upper shin bone, no matter what, that sweet spot disappears, I guess I just don’t do it enough, but to me, its the MOST painful move, so who amongst us doesn’t avoid what hurts the most?What move gave me the hardest time learning? Cause of extreme ‘at first pain’, which I hope doesn’t happen to any of you all, cause everyone is very different… the damn shoulder mount. lol. I actually gave it up, it was soo painful on the side of my neck, it looked as if I was strangled or somethin for awhile there, and I am good with pain. I let it go for awhile and I’m not one for giving up without success, but even when I had gotten up and then down, it was a painful process I hated repeating, and just couldn’t imagine it ever feeling ‘normal’, and not giving me that sore collar bone and neck. Between you gals and me, I actually had tried cutting up maxi pads, thick ones to, and taping them directly to my shoulder for some comfort from the impact of the pole, but even that offered no relief. I don’t wanna scare anyone who hasn’t gone there yet on this move, it was just my personal story for whatever reason, but I will encourage by saying 2,000%, I PROMISE you, if you do feel the discomfort of the S.M maneuver, it will be short lived, and you WILL be able to do it countless times (EVENTUALLY) and without a pinch, or a burn, nothing, nada, zero, zip, so hang in there, never give up, but IF your not really ready for any particular move yet, I urge you to slow down, and take your time, the pole will always be there. Be kind to your body:) YOU ONLY GET 1!
What is my favorite pole move? Hmmmm…geez, I love so many of them, that’s a toughie, I have not thought about until this very second….I’d have to say it’s between the ‘Marley’, named by my good friend, miss boomloulou, that one hurt a bit at first, but became harmless through time as well, I love several spins, but my other favorite TRICK would be the extended butterfly. I think it’s really beautifully when it’s put to some slow music, and extended out so perfectly, it just can look really gorgeous. I love how the knee hold looks as well, I just have a personal HATE for it. I hope like the shoulder mount, that might change with time as well.
Whelp, I think this post was long enough for today, I’ll be back shortly, and I love you all for reading, and for caring. Your the best…I truly needed that vent:) happy poling my friends!!! XOXO

OMG…! Parent Incompetence!
Hey everyone,
Welp off the topic of pole dancing, i took a trip to chuckecheese yesterday..OMG shame shame on this man, he left his lil newborn child, in an icy cold car for over 45 minutes- 1 hr… before SOMEONE, thank GOD, idk whom it was, but someone leaked the info, and got the police to come, and did they put him under arrest?? NO, they talked for a few minutes, and just LEFT, and this guy had the bowling balls to stick around, taking in the small child carrier, and proceeded to play at chuckeecheese as if nothing had happened. sorry i felt the need to vent my anger via video about it last night, lol, for those who wanna watch you can, but nothing much more then what i just explained. what is the world coming to, parents who don’t care about their children, who get away with it to boot…i was certain this guy would be dragged out in cuffs, perhaps a fellow officer? hmmm, gotto wonder, cause i just read a story about the same thing happening with a 4 yr old girl and daddy got arrested, and also caught in the bed of a 13 yr old girl. double shame on you. ughh just craziness in the world.ANYHOW, i hope everyone is well. Lately i’ve been turning into a nocturnal pole dancer, lol. i used to get up round 5 am, and get everything done before anyone woke, start out the day with a nice workout, and i notice for some reason, i haven’t figured it out yet, i’ve been staying up later, doing pole dancing at night, when everyone is asleep, and sleepin a hair later. can’t tell ya which is better, but i think i got a wee bit more energy in the mornings. a day in the life of a shelly is hard work, lol. but seriously, just noticed this change the past week. makes me wonder what time of day do you guys pole? morning, afternoons, evenings? heck if i were single, i’d probobly be stuck like glue to the darned thing. pulled muscles and bruises for sure? a kick butt body…for certain. i’d live forever, lol. pole dancing will probobly be the only hobby you’ll find in life, besides maybe sex, if your lucky, hehe, that you will definitely miss after a day or two of nothingness. seriously, i do miss my pole if a day or two goes by w/o dancing on it, but there is honestly never a day, maybe 1 in all my time doing this amazing activity, that i didn’t at least grab onto it for 1 lil swing or something, even if it were for 10 seconds. it’s like a ‘fix’ you just gotta have, hard to keep your hands off of it. boy guys are gonna be very jealous of these things, if all us gals feel the same way!welp time to brave the day. going to see ‘hotel for dogs’ later on. yes this is what my life has become, but hey..wouldn’t have it any other way, i’ll watch somethin more my speed tonight. much love to you my pole dancing pals!xoxo, ShellPS- VIDEO BELOW -
My 1st Blog Post!By exdiva69 on January 17, 2009 | No Comments
from_internet_144 (Click here if you wanna hear a song while you read, It’s Break The Ice:)
COOL, my 1st blog entry, on my own site, that’s pretty wild:) So how is everybody doing today? Well I hope. Welp, today is January 17, 2009. Really busy today, so no time for pole dancing, I’m afraid, *sigh*, I will definitely try to get in a good session tomorrow morning. Since nothing much is goin on to really talk about on my end, nothing interesting, which is unusually ‘odd’ HA, (BTW- all my thanks to those who kept hubby in their thoughts on youtube, blood pressures have gone down on all ends, hehe), but anyhow, being that that is the case, (nothing exciting to report), I guess I’ll just talk a bit about the pole dancing ‘art’ to those who see this site, and really don’t know, what it’s ‘all about yet’.
Well, 1st off, it’s a wonderful way to keep yourself in top physical shape. Noone who pole dances will ever deny you that 1. Pole dancing builds muscle, it’s a definite form of strength training, so you should expect to look more sculpted, and in not much time, at that. It’s also an aerobic form of exercise. I don’t use it to lose weight, I’m never happy with myself, I can lose weight feel too thin, gain weight purposely, and feel fat, there is really no perfect ‘number’ that makes me happy, so I can’t say for me, if it helps to lose weight, in my case, but it does help your body and shape, for sure. Since it is aerobic, much like other aerobic forms of exercise you are burning calories, hence, you can lose weight from this form of exercise, I’ve heard many other women, who have, & some i’ve seen the results firsthand on youtube, so these are all the things i can truthfully announce here, but like i said, i can’t attest to myself, because i’m not big on the whole scale thing. lol. I don’t like #’s dictating my life, but other’s who pole dance sware it does help in that dept. You don’t have to be any particular shape or size to do this form of exercise, everybody is allowed, I’ve seen some girls whom are larger, REALLY work the pole like nobody’s business, so stigma’s are thrown out the window. No right size to start or to continue and even compete in this great sport. This exercise DEFINATELY turns fat into muscle, which will help kill the giggle, as you wiggle..ahhh the poet in me coming out, lol.Anyhow, the biggest thing I notice in my ‘mental’ life, is a definite LIFT. I’m not here writing to sell anyone on anything, I like to talk, and inform, and be REAL, so if you’re readin this it’s cause you choose to, so thank you for that, but all I can do is vouch for myself, and what pole dancing does for me, I can tell you what I hear from others, that they may agree with me, but I don’t put words in people’s mouth, for ME, mentally, I feel like I definitely have a bit more energy then I used to, require less sleep to feel ’sane’ lol, more ‘peppy’, deal with stressful situations a bit better then I had, which anything is a step up, I still get stressed, but if I hit the pole when I am in a stressed state, I notice almost an instant feeling of relief. Don’t take your anger and stress out on your man, or your mom, or even on yourself, which we know we ALL do, take it out on that pole!! It will work you wonders , and if you don’t believe me, you haven’t given it a go, have you?Admittedly, I’ve had a history of depression growing up etc, really hard life, and a lot of anxiety, so for me, the time I’ve spent poling, has really added up to extra years on my life, cause I was always a daily worrier, so I need constant stress relief, and this is the closest I’ve ever come to finding something that works. POLE DANCING…the ‘natural tranquilizer’. Again, only can speak for myself, but when I tell others how I describe pole dancing, as ‘therapy for the soul’ they couldn’t agree more, and I’ve been through regular therapy years back, I think I was wasting my money, I should have bought myself a pole. Now, over. ummm 30, geez that hurts, my daily, BIGGEST, regret, that is never, ever gonna go away, is my regret of not starting this sooner. I thought about it years ago, but the stigma was sooo widespread, that I failed to even think that there might be an online resource to simply ‘buying’ a indoor pole, I thought I’d need someone to do a custom job, someone who makes them for strip clubs or something. I brought it up to a friend in construction, and somehow let it go, thinking right now *IDIOT*, lol…now knowing those years ago, home poles were available, makes me CRAZY, cause I’d have so much time under my belt, and maybe extra years on my life span as well.BUT I digress…The stigma must become, and must stay BROKEN! Pole dancing, is not just for money making, I’m cool with whomever chooses to do it, and pass no judgement, I’ve always been a friend to all, but the entire planet needs to adopt this ‘open’ way of thinking. I believe we are headed there slowly. I can see it now…poling in the Olympics. I’ll be too old, but I’d love to watch someone here or on youtube, or both, that I know, runnin with the torch, representing their country at the Olympic games, and I don’t think it’s a matter of IF, but purely a matter of WHEN, in my own opinion. Heck if rhythmic gymnastics is an Olympic sport, I think this is even more beautiful, so why not?At any rate getting back to my original topic…what pole dancing will do for you, as per my experience only.. gives you energy, burns fat, builds muscle, releases stress, and definitely for me, provides mental clarity. the pole can be your best friend, or your punching bag to take your anger out on, either way, your benefiting your spirit, mind, and body, while not hurting someone else’s feelings or needing a pal to come out and talk to you , but she’s TOO busy, and your all alone, does that make any sense? I sure do hope so.I used to do gymnastics as a kid and teen, up until a bad accident at 16. I shouldn’t be typing this right now, but by the grace of God, somehow, and for some reason, I am. Since then, it’s been impossibly hard for me to find any exercise I would stick with. I tend to get bored and frustrated easily, and so I’d pick up a sport or hobby, and nothing intrigued me, like the gymnastics, I no longer could do. Everything else just didn’t cut it enough to keep the motivation coming, until I bought my pole. I’m certain hubby was thinking, ‘Ok there she goes making another expense, that will collect dust’, BUT HA ON YOU HONEY..this time, u be wrong:) The best investment I’ve ever bought for my own personal use, has been my pole. I remember saying I got my monies worth, less then 1 month in. I’ve never been this motivated, hard to imagine, cause it might just look like a big steel pole, but somehow it becomes soo much more. hard to describe, but I’m sure many can relate, if you’ve been there, done that. Never a day of regret about it, except like I said, not researching it more, so I could have started it, way, way sooner. I will never let that go, unfortunately.Soo, I’ll stop chewing your ear off today, and just finish with saying, THANKS for visiting this website, I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to do so, and to read this post, and I hope whether you’re thinking about poling, or are poling already, you feel like you have a friend out there in the poling community who supports your hobby. So many of us over on youtube, are supporters, there is no HATE, not negativity, just praise, and encouragement over there, so come and join us, if you haven’t already, and welcome aboard:)((HEART))Shelly -
Welcome to IPole.tv
HELLO! I’m Shelly, so happy you could come and visit my site!
Hi there, and welcome to my website…Ipole.tv! As you can see, it’s under construction, but great things are to come, so bookmark me, and come back soon!! You’ll be able to chat, post messages, learn from others, & more!There will be pole dancing resources, like where you can buy your pole, exotic dancer, pole dancer clothing, and footwear, other cool stuff, plus my own store, where you can buy products created by me!The biggest part, is I will be offering low cost online video lessons, to anyone and everyone who wants to learn, basic, intermediate, advanced, and very advanced pole moves, along with floorwork, transitions, spins, strength moves, combos, freaky hard tricks, (safely of course), and more.I had the idea to do something like this almost from the start, back in ‘07, but I just wasn’t sure how long, or if ever, that I’d get good enough to be able to do it:) . I took 1 month of online lessons from a website, the only one out there offering them, well at the time, and it helped so much, however was costly (double the price), and there weren’t a ton of moves, ya know? not as many as I would have liked, or I would have stuck around there for months and months. I got the idea at that point, to make my own site one day, lower the cost, add more comprehensive lessons, contunally update and add..as I learn new and exciting tricks and combos, so can you, cause they will be added, plus little routines will be involved as you learn your moves, and put them together, and just alot of fun stuff.Since I know, at least over here in the USA, we don’t have many, if any, in the way of pole dancing competetions, plus some people are shy or unable to comepete do to a myraid of reasons…, therefore, i plan on holding a Miss I-pole internet contest in the future, within 6 months or so, (approximately), i would say, and if it’s a success, i’ll host other contests and online competetions, with prizes perhaps even cash, if it does well, and with miss I-pole, you can win personalized throphies, ribbons, and more, and I LOVE contests, (though i won’t be able to go in this one, naturally), and always wished they had more pole ones out there over the internet, so i thought it’d be a unique and fun idea for polers on youtube. Beginners and advanced would be in seperate categories, in order to keep things more fair, I would judge who goes in the appropriate categories when this time comes.This should be a cool site, and I appreciate the time you took to come and visit the homepage of Ipole.tv! thanks for stopping by!
