Here’s a YouTube link to my whacky-fresh-shimmee-hooping number of the night at the 2007 Fluid Movement Hoopathon in Baltimore, MD for your viewing pleasure. The photo here was captured outside the Load of Fun space earlier in the evening during the hoopathon challenges.

Last year I joyfully celebrated being crowned Master of Hoops at Fluid Movement’s 1st annual fundraising Hoola-Hoop-A-Thon. Here’s a fuzzy but happy shot of Miss Saturn and myself after I won the trophy. This Saturday we will convene again to determine the 2007 Master, enjoy a mini-performance, and follow it up with a radical dance [...]

Some of you may have heard of the newest and oddest club to hit DC, the Palace of Wonders. It is a haven for the strange and sideshow curious, as it contains a large collection of incredibly bizarre (& often grody) relics previously on display at Baltimore’s American Dime Museum. My dear and talented friend [...]

This coming Wednesday night I will be making a hooping appearance at the Awesomely Bad Ball fundraiser to benefit Forum Theatre and Dance.

Here’s a shot of NYC’s Miss Saturn spinning it up at Trixie Little’s burlesque and variety show recently held at the Ottobar in Baltimore. Thanks to Denise for capturing and sending me this fine image.

While I am not a contortionist and not likely going to run off with the cirque anytime soon (although I do dream about it sometimes), it was truly inspiring to watch [...]
