Before you knew it, you would hoop the top of that strapless romper right down to your waist.<br /><br />I'm so glad to hear about another hooper going back (costume-wise) to the hoop's 1950s roots! The hoopers around my area all wear sort of flowy hippie things that fly out when they spin.

If I ...I have a three pound and a five pound hoop! If I must say so myself, I am a smashing "hooper." I must caution you: when you select fabrics for your hooping outfit, 100% cotton makes all the difference. Synthetic fabrics are too slippery against the hoop, and you sacrifice a lot of control. Bare skin is best, but 100% cotton works wonders.Schrodinger's Catnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-26515788665507568962010-08-25T15:46:44.358-04:002010-08-25T15:46:44.358-04:00WOW!
