Here's an enormous gallery of photos from a hooping party that happened in LA on Wednesday.
The costumed hoopers in the pictures (ie the women in fuzzy legwarmers and sparkly loin cloths) are part of the Good Vibe Hoop Tribe, the fledgling LA performance troupe that hosted the party, which was a birthday shindig for Anah and Christabel.
Sharna Rose teaches us how to do the "Vertical Underleg Twist Toss Pass." What's that exactly? You'll have to see for yourself. She lives in Maidstone, England.
Our two tracks for the week start off with Cosmic Cowboys and their new release "One Last Whisper." We're especially loving the Hiro Remix which is why we've added it to the Hoop Sounds iPod below. Check it out and other mixes and download yours on iTunes by clicking:
Next we cool things down with a track for some dreamier hooping. The track is called "Ruby" from the new release from Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté of Mali. We think you're going to like it. Give it a listen on the iPod and get your copy on iTunes by clicking:

That party looks like SO much fun! But why is EVERYBODY wearing leg warmers? Did you guys plan this? ;-)

The party invite specifically called for fuzzy legwarmers.
Plus, all of the women you see wearing the fuzzy legwarmers are part of the Good Vibe Hoop Tribe, and were in uniform...and legwarmers are part of the costume!
