"I always let people play with my hoops. I just keep a close eye on them. If I had a really expensive hoop I'd probably say no though. I think it's how she said it to you... wtf!? Where is her hoop love?! "

The importance of not underselling yourself or your artwork

Posted on September 28, 2010 at 10:30pm 7 Comments

My college experience was spent as a cartooning major at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. Great times, I met awesome people and I learned a lot while I was in college. One of the most valuable things I felt I learned was about the importance of not underselling my artwork, which in turn I feel can also apply to hooping as well.



Currently I am working part time at a small art gallery in Brooklyn while hooping and doing some freelance work on the side. I am constantly amazed when…  

Thoughts...

Posted on May 20, 2010 at 12:31pm 0 Comments

I've been thinking a lot lately about so many different things. For example, my life, what direction I'm going in, my happiness, the things I want to experience, my dreams...and mostly how to go about making those dreams come true. I feel like I'm at a major crossroads in my life right now for some reason. I'm very content with the way things are going and the people who are in my life... but I just feel that there is something more I need to do.



The more and more I think about this…  

I'm going to be preforming at this year's Black Light Ball!

Posted on May 9, 2010 at 10:39pm 6 Comments

Ahhh! Excited and nervous! So I'm now not only attending the Black light Ball but also am preforming in it as well. About a month back, they called for volunteers to do things that were light related. On a whim I sent them a response saying I could led hoop at the party. I really didn't expect for them to send me a response but they did and now I'm going to be preforming. I'm partially really excited and another part shitting my pants. I've preformed before, but always in front of small crowds.…  

New York Hooper Frustrated with cold!

Posted on December 20, 2009 at 11:07am 0 Comments

Grrr! Love living in New York but it's so cold out right now. I just made myself some minis and I'm dying to try them out. Unfortunately it's too cold to go outside and my house is too small to practice in. Why isn't there a big room with tall ceilings for these sort of things?!
