I just ordered my stripper pole. Yay! I purchased the Platinum Stages Super Pole, which is portable and can be installed / removed within minutes. I went with a portable pole since I’m slightly in between houses right now and I’m not sure where I would put a permanent pole yet (I want it in the gym at the PR house, but the gym is a long way from being done). The Super Pole also has a spinning option which allows the pole to spin with you on it. Fun! Hopefully I won’t get too dizzy. Haha. Here’s the rest of the info on the Super Pole:

The pole was kind of expensive (I paid $400 with shipping), but I wanted to get something quality that’s going to be able to support doing cool inverted tricks and what not. I don’t want to end up like this girl, either.

I’m excited to get my Super Pole! I’m so bored of all my other workout routines and pole dancing is a REALLY good full body workout (if you work it right). Here is an example of good stripper pole work:

This girl has an awesome hip roll (which takes strong abs):

I took Monkey to the vet today and her butt problem was exactly what I thought (gotta love the internet). Her anal sacs were full, which gives dogs a very uncomfortable feeling. Victor the vet tech, did the honors of putting his finger up her butt to “express” her anal gland ($20, well spent…) and even he seemed a bit grossed out when he was explaining to me that Monkey’s sacs “were very full”.

The vet also gave me a perscription for anal cream and I’m supposed to “apply a thin layer to rectal area twice daily for 10 days”. WHAT? They didn’t even give me any rubber gloves to go with the Monkey anal cream. Christ.

Stefan, I am Fex Ex-ing Monkey and her anal cream to you. She’s YOUR dog, you know…(she’s only our dog when she does cute stuff…).

Anal cream. Are you f-ing kidding me?!

I’m okay. I’m not returning calls at this time, but don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine. I just want to be alone right now. Thank you for thinking about me and I’ll be okay, eventually…

I’m physically and mentally exhausted. I honestly thought trial would take 1 day, but it looks like it’s going to take 4 or 5 at this point. I now see why people usually take whatever “deal” the District Attorney offers in order to avoid trial. Too bad I’m not most people. I will NEVER plead guilty to something that I am not guilty of, no matter how much easier it will make my life. It’s just the principle.

Nonetheless, I am unbelievably tired and worn out. I actually cried in court today. Not for any particular reason and I felt the tears coming at a totally inappropriate time. The judge was just briefing the jury and I felt the first inkling of tears welling up in my eyes. I tried as hard as I could to stop them, but once the first tear streams down my face, it’s hard to stop them. I felt sort of stupid, but I got it together pretty quickly and hopefully not everyone noticed. My lawyer was absolutely shocked, to say the least. He said it was totally unexpected because I’m “such a strong girl”. It’s true, I am pretty strong and I’ve VERY good at suppressing my emotions if I need to. I just think the exhaustion I’m feeling, compounded with seeing the cop that tasered me again, plus hearing people blatantly lie to try and make me look like a bad person, got to me. I stuffed it down for as long and I could, I guess.

I have been working like freaking crazy lately and have been neglecting myself by not working out. I’ve probably gained 5lbs, which is no bueno! I was editing the latest lingerie photos today and couldn’t help but notice how nice of an ass this model has. Cute, round and perky are all essential for a nice booty (of course that is subject to opinion).

So, instead of cursing this model with the nice butt to hell, I got off my ass and ran 4 miles (According to my Nike Plus System, I ran 4 miles in 40.26 minutes and burned 367 calories). I’m fairly certain my butt will look like that tomorrow. That’s how it works right?!

Well, nonetheless, this is my workout ass-piration for the day. I think it deserves a closer look, don’t you?

I just got the new catalogs from one of my suppliers and it looks like one of their models has fallen prey to anorexic (or bulimia).

Here she is two years ago:

Last year:

This year:

She was thin to begin with, so she must be really abusing hereself to get down to downright skeletal. Quite honestly, I was grossed out by her latest photos and I won’t be using them on LaLaLingerie.com. Not only because she looks sick, but the clothes don’t look right or attractive hanging off of a skeleton.

Being a model can be such a mind fuck, it’s not surprising that so many models have some sort of eating disorder. It’s sad to witness…

Stefan and I finally broke down and got a new bed. After much thought and lots of research we opted for the king-sized Tempurpedic “pressure relieving Swedish mattress system” that is “changing the way the world sleeps”. After testing out all different types of Tempurpedic beds, we opted for the The DeluxeBed by Tempur-Pedic:

Now, I’m not one to drop $3,000 on a mattress (especially when it’s just a stack of foam), but holy crap, this mattress is totally worth it. Plus, I think I’ve paid my dues by sleeping on a $100 mattress my entire life…

Our new mattress is not being delivered until Wednesday, but we did get two ComfortPillows (by Tempur-Pedic) which we used last night. I swear to you that just by using the Tempur-Pedic pillow, I had the best nights sleep I’ve had in as long as I can remember. I actually woke up RESTED (that never happens…Never, never, never!)!

Everyone is getting Tempur-pedic pillows for Christmas this year, seriously.

I ended up getting the Nike plus system and have been running with it for a couple of weeks now. This is what I invested:

Nike Plus shoes – $100

4GB iPod Nano – $140

Nike Plus kit – $29

Sony headphones – $60

Now, you could do it cheaper, by modifying your non-Nike Plus shoes, but I needed new running shoes any how. I also didn’t have to buy $60 headphones, but the ipod buds hurt my ears and don’t sound nearly as good. I ended up spending $329, but it’s SO worth it. I love the Nike plus system! It’s a great motivational tool and it honestly pushes me to run harder and more often. Even if I’m fading at the end of the usual 3 miles I do, I always push myself to beat my last time. Nike plus also tells you when you beat your personal records. For example after my last run, it was rattling off the details:

“You have completed your goal of 3 miles in 30 minutes, 26 seconds. Your average pace is 10.06 minutes per mile. Your have burned 275 calories. Congratulations, you have run your fastest mile to date, which is 8 minutes 15 seconds!”

Before I bought the Nike plus system, I researched it on the internet (of course …) and I read somewhere that Nike plus did not work well if you ran on a treadmill. Well, I tested it out at the gym last night and it worked fine. The stats were only slightly off of the stats on the treadmill. Nike plus said I ran 1 mile and the treadmill said I ran 1.06 miles.

So, if you’re feeling unmotivated to work out (like I was), get Nike plus! Swimsuit season is coming …

Valentines day is coming up and Stefan and I were discussing if we were going to get each other gifts. I’m always the party pooper that says no gifts, because recently I just havn’t had the time to think of a really cool gift to give Stefan. So since we decided no gifts, Stefan told me what he was going to get me and now I WANT IT SO BAD! I had never even heard of it before, but I checked it out and I want the Nike+ system!

The Nike+ System is a device that is inserted into the sole of your Nike+ shoes, which synchs with your iPod Nano. This system tracks your run, your progress with multiple runs, calories burned, miles traveled, etc. There is also a Nike+ community where you can make the leaderboards for miles run. You can even challenge people to running! This is perfect for me because I like running, but I LOVE competing .

Unfortunately, I don’t have the Nike+ shoes ($70 – $115 depending on the style), or the sport kit ($29), OR an iPod Nano ($199 – $249). So, I’ll have to pony up $400 to get in gear…Nonetheless, I can’t wait! What a fun way to be motivated to workout!

My business just went through a MAJOR software crash and I have been working 16 hours a day for the last few days. I’ve had to learn TONS of new info between setting up my new intel iMac, learning how to use the dual core, Parallels, Windows XP, Quickbooks Enterprises, CSV files and tons of other things. I honestly think my brain is overflowing basic info. Like how to turn on my 10-key function on my keyboard. I had to Google it…
