Blissfields 2011

Hurrah for 2011! The Year of Mastery according to Simone, apparently, whatever that means :)
This is our first blog post. We have just heard from Blissfields Festival - looks like we're in to do the hoop party... and even better, they're going to try and allow us to sell hoops. Winner! Have had positive but not final responses from Glastonbury and Waveform too so fingers crossed... Our plan (if we can pull it off) is to get into as many festies as possible this year cos we want OUT of our skanky house (mould. mew) and into the fresh outdoors in our fabulous fattievan :) we had so much fun doing hoop parties and going travelling in fattie last year we thought we'd see how well it would go for a whole summer! If we can get enough festivals and hoop parties (and craft fayres, festivals and markets - but thats another blog) then we will save a fortune on rent, meet loads of amazing people, have adventures, seek our fortune and generally give everyone a grand old hooping time :))
Pig says I am autoblogging. I have been meaning to blog for years but ahve always done it in the analogue style lol I have many many books filled up with words... Guess that means I'm a meant to be blogger? Time will tell.
Anyway, says The Cat.We are hula hoop addicts but we really dislike all the hula hoop cliques that are all about ego hooping... we just want to have a good time and show others that they CAN do it too, its really not hard, its just about keeping trying and determination and spirit and belief in yourself. Getting started is the hardest point. If I can do it, anyone can, seriously! I dropped out of PE age 14, smoked for years (quit now. phew! feels *amazing*) have never been able to touch my toes, climb a rope, have only just learnt how to stand and walk properly, basically my only exercise for years was walking and dancing in nightclubs. Exactly. Now I can hula hoop a 3hr carnival in mega heat cos I am so in love with my hoop, to move in spirals, to explore the depth of physical movement within a circle, its amazing how far you can go, how your mind learns and your body too... Bring it on Blissfields and the rest of you, we believe in ourselves and this is going to be a mad year for everyone, its the penultimate year, you know what I mean... live in joy, live in love, live in great hope and expectations of bliss and ...the universe, the goddess will provide and bless you! Everything is going to change this year - for the better! And I - we - know that hooping can be a part of it; after all, as Sharna Rose says, spin and spirals are in everything from atoms to galaxies and we can evolve ourselves right now, we just need to start <3
