Good news folks!

I got my first collab with an artist. It's gonna be a performance/video that I have full creative control over😌. This belly dance costume was purchased for the video.

I also have started making tutorials that I will be posting on Tik Tok and Insta. If you guys have any request for tutorials let me know!

Thank you to all of the flowmies that support me and stick up for me when the haters come a knockin. And to the T-phobes the more you comment stupid crap on my post the more I will post myself flowing in super cute outfits😋.

If your looking for new poi here are my discount codes and y'all have a great day💕:

Looking for safe Fire Performance Clothing

Hi everyone, I'm trying to find affordable options for costumes to spin in as I will be performing at hotels and want to add a little flair while also being cautious about the fabric I'm using. Does anyone know of any websites I can use to find costumes/clothing?

Ultrapoin knob issues

I bought some led pois with the ultra knob LED knobs. The battery has come loose at the top of one of them. Apparently they are glued to the circuit board. Now the diode is bugging around. Do you think simply re-gluing is enough to solve the problem?

Stumbled on a little mind meltdown variation (20 sec. in) that needs to be cleaned up and mirrored but feels so good.

Anyone in Dallas want to flow?

I’m interested in fire poi and need someone to do it with, but none of my friends are interested! Is anyone here located in Dallas and would be down to meet or know of a place where I can find people who are into this?

Poi juggling

I've recently been spending more time with juggling poi rather than just spinning.

I'm very comfortable with the pendulum cascade and wallplane cascade. Recently started doing some behind the head spins on the first beat of the hand I just caught with w the wallplanes, if I worded that coherently.

Can hit some reverse beat cascades, but still working on running that cleanly.

Also, started working on no beat cascades last week and have been seeing some progress, but probably have a lil while before I'm running it.

Fellow poi jugglers, I have a few questions for you.

I'm currently juggling contact poi with 10.6 mm hybrid tethers.

  1. How important do you find it/how big of a difference does it make to juggle with static tethers? Big enough difference to warrant spending the money for 3 new poi?

  2. Any guidance on where to go from here based on the description of my current skill level?

  3. do you have any favorite teachers? Do they have a patreon? Bow juggler is my go to, ofc, but just curious.

Thanks in advance!

Love my ball and club juggling, but poi shit just hits differently.

Looking for first fire poi suggestions - and thank you

I'm hoping to find something for sale in the US, thats at or under $100, and if possible not cathedral heads, but I assume that's what my choices will be. I have other non poi props from dark monk and trick concepts. IDK if somone on here makes them personally or if youd like to suggest where to look beyond Google it, maybe someone knows a hidden gem or something. Thanks for your help. Taking my LED set to their first campout this weekend. Looking to pick a set up before Freezerburn in January.

thank you everyone that makes tutorial videos. every 10 of you theres one person there that can break it down the way i can understand it. I have alegitimate learning diability and some physical handicaps related, so I have to learn a way i can not how anyone decides to show me. Everyone posting so many tutorials really opens this new prop up for me. Thanks for all yall do.

Waterproof Poi

Winter is coming to the PNW ....and with it a fine amount of rain. I am new to spinning and my indoor options are limited. Any recommendations for LED poi with sealed/waterproof casings? I'd prefer orb poi but am open to any shape so long as they can keep the rain out and my practice consistent.

2 month progress video

Stormy night at the beach 🌊⛈️ I was fighting 30 mph wind gusts and my poi kept getting tangled lol. I think I finally (kinda almost) learned antispin flowers!!! I just started spinning 2 months ago, and I've been judging myself kinda harshly bc I wanna look as good as everyone else that posts on here. I'm still learning how to piece tricks together so they look cohesive, but I'm having so much fun :) If you're reading this, I hope you have a great day 💕

Meteor/gunslinger discord

Would anyone be interested in a discord group for learning gunslingers and/or meteor spinning? There aren’t many tutorials online for different patterns for gunslingers aside from the basics. I’ve managed to figure out some hybrids on my own and some new moves by watching other spinners on instagram or just messing around. I think it would be good to get a group of people who are learning to share videos of themselves for advice and sharing new things.

If anyone’s interested let me know and I’ll set it up!

Happy Halloween!

After 20+ years of failing at pumpkin carving and growing to kinda dislike doing it... I have my first successful pumpkin!!!

Well worth continuing to try.
