New Items from Poleitical Clothing
We are SUPER excited about these new additions to our collection! All of our artwork is ORIGINAL – we took great time and care in drafting these designs and their wording, and we hope they are as fun for you as they were for us to create!
The Drea Booty Short:
The Drea Booty Short – Panties Are My Power Suit
Named in honor of Drea, lead instructor and owner of The Pole Garage in Santa Monica, CA, our new booty shorts feature a higher, cheekier cut than our classic shorts! They are super comfortable, made from soft cotton, and come only in turquoise (for now!). Our Poleitical Clothing logo graces the front, and our new PANTIES ARE MY POWER SUIT artwork is stamped on the back! The shorts come in sizes Small, Medium, and Large – they do run a bit smaller than our classic shorts, especially because of the overall sexier cut. Priced at $17 USD, with worldwide shipping available.
In Pole We Trust Cropped Tank:
In Pole We Trust Cropped Tank in Yellow
In Pole We Trust Cropped Tank in Pink
This super soft, super comfy tank comes in two amazing neon colors: screaming yellow and perfect pink! Cut for One Size Fits All, our In Pole We Trust tank is cropped under the bust and compliments a variety of body types. Our Poleitical Clothing logo is printing on the back, at the neck, and our new IN POLE WE TRUST artwork is splashed across the bust! This tank leaves your favorite grip points free and clear, allowing you to not have to sacrifice cute style for a solid move! Both tanks are priced at $20 USD each, with worldwide shipping available.
All items can be purchased online, through our Etsy Shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/poleiticalclothing
Happy Shopping!
Soma System Workshops at Pole Expo
A while back, I came across a company called Soma System via Facebook – I think Marlo Fisken posted about them on her fan page? – and I was really intrigued by what they offer. It seems like an incredible practice for pole dancers looking to do body work! What is Soma System, you ask? It’s a holistic bodywork practice that you can do on your own, which allows you to blend massage techniques and meditation in order to release tense muscles and minds (among other things):
From the Soma System website
Now, I am all about finding new ways to not have shoulder tension, so I was really interested when I started poking around their website. A while back, I purchased a Trigger Point Massage ball, which I use occasionally – while it’s easy to use, and it does help me to work out terrible knots in my shoulders/back, it’s not a comprehensive self-massage option. I find it difficult to use on anything other than my back, and while Trigger Point does sell a couple of other tools, they don’t have a the selection that Soma System offers.
With Soma System, you may purchase individual items, but they also offer packages, which I love. And which I drool over every time I see them pop up in my Facebook feed! I get caught up in fantasizing about how I could be so loose and bendy if I used their system regularly. 🙂
Full Body Complete Soma System Package
Looks fun, right?!
So, how does it all work? I grabbed this handy-dandy screenshot from their website:
How Does Soma System Work, from their website
Sounds incredible, yes?!
On their website, you can also find info on how to use their products, which is SO helpful. You can choose the product you wish to learn about and view PDFs containing descriptions of exercises you can do with each tool. I think this is great, as it allows you to really learn and be able to use the products at home, instead of struggling through by guessing.
Soma System Workshop, from their website
Soma System has been doing workshops on the East Coast for a while – they even offer teacher training! I was invited to attend a workshop by Roman, the Founder & Master Instructor of Soma System, but being in LA, I couldn’t make it to a workshop based back east. I did ask if they ever come to the west coast, though, and Roman told me that they’ll be at Pole Expo 2013!!!
Which means, YOU ALL HAVE TO GO AND TAKE THEIR WORKSHOPS. I currently do not have plans to attend Pole Expo – we were hoping to go with Poleitical Clothing, since we have some new items, but it looks highly unlikely we’ll make it this year – which means I won’t be able to do the Soma System workshops. BUT, I WANT TO KNOW ALL ABOUT THEM!!!
The Soma System Workshops at Pole Expo are offered at these times:
- Friday, Sept. 6th from 10:35-11:15AM
- Saturday, Sept. 7th from 10:30-11:15AM
- Sunday, Sept. 8the from 10:15-11AM
You can find more info here: http://poleexpo.com/palms-ballroom.html#.UfVggW0k_px
The best part? ALL WORKSHOPS IN THE BALLROOM ARE FREE WITH YOUR EXPO PASS!!!!! This means you have no excuse to not try one of their three workshops over the weekend!
Soma System is looking to expand their workshops across the West Coast, so if you are interested and you think your studio might want to host an event, contact them! I’m hoping they’ll be in LA sometime soon!!! *UPDATE* Here’s a little interview, talking more about what to expect from a workshop:
HUGE sale at Pure Delish!
If you are a Los Angeles or Orange County resident, come check out the HUGE sale over at Pure Delish! Savings are massive for the month of July, and for every $100 you spend, you get $10 to spend in August!
Pure Delish is my faaaaavorite dance wear shop! Kat & the girls are super attentive and knowledgable about their merchandise – they have an amazing selection of fun pole clothes, lingerie, shoes, costumes, adult products, and more!
The sale is only good at their Culver City location, but it is worth the trip if you live in the LA area!!!
Here’s a flyer, with more details!
