On Friday night Tola and I went to Coyotes in Chatham to dance with our hoops. It was a very quiet night but that was good because we got the small dance floor all to ourselves - for a while until the few people there wanted to dance. A Dj from a club in Brighton came with a friend of his who is going to make a video for his new song and he just happened to be interested in our hooping. So fingers crossed, I think that the tide is turning, Thank you Miss Rosie for your wonderful input of positivity into my life.

The Radio 1 Big Weekend, i went on Saturday, was great. My son did not want to stay long, bless him, the tickets were like gold dust and I could have taken any of my friends...got to love your little darling children no matter what they do. I blame Usher myself, since we were sat outside the main stage waiting for the Hoosiers, who Jay loves. I hooped to Usher but I'm a bit of a hoop slut I guess, cause I'll hoop to anything. Jay however was not feeling Usher but was feeling the roasting hot sun. When the Hoosiers came on he was a bit disappointed "They don't sound like they do on the radio Mum!"

So he went home. Luckily my mate Jenny was there with her boyfriend so I hung out with them. I did a shed load of hooping and when I was not hooping I was dancing. For the first time ever at a event in Maidstone I got positive feedback from everyday people, girls particularly. One horrid man told me that I would look better in a leotard....yeukkk! My skirt was getting in the way but it was pretty and I'll never ever ever ever ever wear a leotard, not even as a costume, it would look shocking horrid if I did.

I did not get spotted however. I did get my photo taken a few times, by Radio 1 official photographer, photographer for the Kent Messenger, a video for kent on Sunday (or something like that) on line, lots of people on their mobile phones (I found this really bizarre - I guess they are going to show their friends). Back stage in the vip area the female dj's had a hula hoop and were having a competition - oh the irony, the sweet sweet irony. I guess that this just was not the right time. I did have great day though and enjoyed watching Madonna from a distance ( I dont like being crammed into tents).

I'm paid for the Hoop Girl level 2 training....yipee! Today I had my tattoo done. It is beautiful.
