Around the Hoop and Back Again

So remember how I told you I was experimenting with various costuming obstacles? Well here's another! A hoop Skirt..A Big. Bad. Hoop Skirt. It's huge, it's wide. and god know it's in the way.

At any rate, here is the video:

I'm not too sure why, but I look insanely peeved in this video. I want to say that's my "I'm concentrating face" but that would be a lie. I have no excuses aside from: it's just the look on my face haha!

It wasn't as difficult as I thought is was going to be. Which is the good news. I do figure that if I were wearing a skirt on top of the hoop, I'd have a much more difficult time due to snagging and all.

Perhaps for another time?


More soon!

That's all for now!

Until Next Time,

My first BullWhip

I am very excited to announced I have officially made my very own BullWhip for the very first time!!!!....with some help.

As I mentioned in a previous post, Adam Winrich posted a youtube video on how to make a whip. I decided to try it out. Here is the result:

Pros: The whip is load and pretty fluid. Not to mention, super inexpensive and simple to make. Take about 30-45min depending. And it costs about 25$ to make per whip.

Cons: Volleys are kind of difficult to do on it because of the structure of the whip (or at least I think it has to do with the structure).  Also, I can't imagine it'll outlast my nylon ones...but then again there is a humongous price difference and..this is my first whip I've ever made. Sooooo yea.

Anyways, overall I am very happy with it. Thought I would share :)

That's all for now. More soon.

Until Next Time,

Moving on Up

Hey everyone!

New videos very soon, I promise!

At any rate, I have been stupid busy with my day job putting on several shows over the past few weeks.

The good news is Bryan and I have been playing with making rope whips (ala Adam Winrich, if you are interested check out his youtube video on it) and I have to say I am very pleased with how these whips are coming out.

They are not excellent whips...not by a long shot. However, they are definitely decent. They make good sound and honestly, when they cost only $25 a whip, you can't really ask for much more. I can't attest to how long they last but, like I said, they are cheap and relatively easy to make so for someone who needs a whip right away and doesn't have $150 (give or take) to spend, I'd say go for it. It would definitely get the job done.

I'll post a video soon of me using one and you'll be able to see it in action!

Bare with me folks!

That's all for now.
