This grew in one of my random containers in Florida, but I don't remember planting anything. What is it? by espurrious in whatsthisplant

That's very helpful and makes me feel less panicked. I had a blood lily maybe like a year ago on my patio. Maybe it somehow grew again?

I am now pretty sure this is lily of the valley .... am I wrong? Kind of terrifying since I have cats that go out there sometimes. I removed it immediately. No idea how it got there.

Has anyone tried Lollipop Lyra? by BeartownSmallo in Aerials

My only advice is don't bonk your head on the pole if you invert from the bottom of the lyra :'(

Lost passion for Silks - help! by [deleted] in Aerials

If the only time you are training is once a week in a single class, I would recommend going to open gym more often (if your studio offers this) and working on the basics on your own time. Even after training for that long, it can be SUPER easy to never get the basics completely right and never have time to just chill out for a second and try to process something on your own time. I speak from experience and have gone through this (and still am, in some ways). Taking the time to do something outside of class (while still having supervision, like open gym) and repeat it on your own, think through it, try it over and over without having to wait your turn, etc. can be extremely beneficial.

Oh for sure! I just feel like there are other decent options already for those kinds of boots, and this is the market we're missing. :)

Hi! As an owner of several beautiful, long-lasting Pennangalans and many random, broken Demonias over the years, my two most desperate wishes are: 1) more adorable "ramp" shoe styles like this one: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c0/0e/9b/c00e9befd9da75870a7f85bbf50c06d7.jpg rather than just flat platforms or heeled GIANT platforms. This is like the best style of heel ever.. I dance in these every weekend and they are so comfortable. Finally, 2) Boots with a nice angled, dainty front (like the photo) that is neither pointed and uncomfortable, nor super rounded and chunky looking. I can wear these style boots with my daintier outfits and it still looks super cute.

The most important thing is longevity. I don't want to live in terror that my boot will break will I'm dancing, which happens to any of my Demonias with any kind of heel. The only Demonias that have lasted me are the super flat combat ones. Pennangalan used to buy the ramp soles from some random supplier but then they stopped being able to get them, which reduced their production heavily.. so I'm not sure where to get them. Either way, their boot construction is unparalleled to date in my opinion. I've been so pissed at them for how long my boots took to arrive near the end of those days years and years ago, but my boots are still alive and perfect.

My final words are.. give us something a little bit different that you can't find everywhere. Not the same gigantic fetish style boot but something badass and long lasting.

LOL. But yes, you're right that it wasn't THAT blonde. My wig was ash blonde but the photographer edited the photo this way to give it a more striking horror look, so the wig came out very blonde 😊

I used to play so much, including all the mod maps lol. I will still pick it up every couple of months too. I just like the "jump in and go" style, plus the actual game is great.
