Glubdub delivers a Hula Hoop Heroine in the form of Emily Lopizzo of Philthy Hoops in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It's a pretty revealing interview that covers the waterfront including jail time, drugs, paralysis, creativity - and of course hooping. My favorite quote from Emily: "You can’t (hoop) and be mad at the same time. It’s like a circle of lithium." Read The Interview.
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:

This women has denied me my hula hoop.
I paid for a 60 dollar hoop from her 3 months ago, and she is ignoring me. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY HOOP THAT I PAID FOR.
and she has not replied to any of my varies attempts to contact her.
I would strongly recommend you do NOT buy anything from her.

I ordered a philthyhoop (Emily Lopizzo's company) over a month ago and I have yet to receive it. I have tried the email address on the website and I get no response. I would really love my hoop! Anyone know how to contact the company? Maybe a phone number or something? I really don't want to have to contact paypal and dispute this. I just want my hoop so I can learn how to use one. Thanks!
