Dear Blowhards --

Yet another party that I'm very late to ... Did you know that Hula Hoops are once again cool? Actually, they seem to have gone beyond cool into downright edgy, even punk. Fitness, attitude, sex, daring -- you got it.

* Here's a cute fire-hoop routine.

* Miss Saturn starts her saucy burlesque hoop act at about minute four in this video.

* Yoga hooping.

* Fairy hooping.

* Hoop therapy.

* Arty hooping.

* Naked hooping.

* Even -- gadzooks -- virtuosic middle-aged hooping.

Fun to see that a movie documentary about the New Hooping is in production. Hooping.Org seems to be media central for the hooping craze. NPR offers an audio report.

Best,

Michael

Have you tried to hula hoop recently? I've actually tried since I've been an adult and it's hard! I used to do it as a kid trivially, but adult movement isn't quite the same. I can believe its great exercise.
