• Hooping at Buses by the Bridge

  Date: 2012.01.20 | Category: HulaHoopla, Performance | Response: 0

  Holy cow! Made a very special journey to Lake Havasu, Arizona this past weekend to be with friends and Volkswagens (by other passion!).  Lots of hoopers down there too so I got to do what I love and got a little TV time on the local station.  Thank you TV45!

• We’re Cuckoo for Coco Hoops!

  Hoopnotica is running a campaign to have a Hoop Off between Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien. Who know? It could happen!   You can check out the HOOP OFF – Leno vs. Conan on Facebook.  Lots of fun posts from other hoopers.  I rallied of few of my hooper gal pals and came up with a slogan and campaign sign.

  Hmmm….I can’t upload the sign at the moment but you can find it on the HulaHoopla Facebook Fan Page.  Not a fan????  Well, what are you waiting for?

  We took some pictures and made a fun little video to assist in the campaign. Check it out!
  And please share it with your friends.  Thank you!  BTW, I am “Bad Kitty” in this video, the last hooper.  That is my hoop troupe performer name. Meow!

  Rain Hoops

  As a Pacific Northwestern Hooper, I’ve developed an all-weather hoop for all-weather hooping!  I test drove these beauties while playing in the rain during a Sunday Parkways event.  It was cold, wet and muddy and when I got home with my hoops, I simply wiped them off – no damage done!

  Fire Hooping at Hoopcamp 2010

  So many amazing, beautiful and inspirational hoopers in one gorgeous, serene setting. *blissed out sigh*

  I think fire performance may be in my future – at least that’s what’s pulling at me right now.

  Heading out to Burning Man for some needed rebooting.  So many lovely hoopers will be there and I hope to find and play with all of them!

  Holy smokes! Just got back from 10 days in San Francisco attending my HoopGirl Level 2 Teacher Training AND HoopGirl Performance Training.  It seems strange to be back at home and not walking to the studio every morning where I was surrounded by strong, supportive goddesses!  I feel a shift in myself…hard to explain…but this morning I am going to take my boyfriend to my studio and perform for him for his birthday. *prrrrrr*

  My hooping life is looming large! Had a wonderful coffee chat with my hoop wife and she had amazing ideas about a hooping hub for PDX.  My head is swirling with possibilities.
