hi all! please excuse the spammy blatant self promotion, but i wanted to invite you all to see what i've been working on. over the last year i've been focusing my sewing creativity on poi spinning costume designs; fashions catered to the needs of poi spinners.

this collection focuses mostly on costuming for non-fire poi, although two of the pieces are fire-safe. more fire-safe fashions will come in the future, i hope. i also hope to expand my designs to the fashion needs of other spinning artists, staffers, hoopers and the like.

anyhoo... my stuff will be shown in the annual cloud factory design collective spring show. if you haven't seen one of their spring shows, definitely check it out! the cfdc is an amazing collective of designers and i'm truly grateful to be showing my work along side of the work of such creative peeps. the cfdc shows are not your typical 'fashion show'. no anorexic waifs here! expect wild, fun, beautiful, inspiring works of art, and a show full of performance, great music and production value.. and a mighty booty shakin after party!

my set is first, so be sure to get there right at 9:00. and expect some fine poi spinning from my set as well. i've bribed, and coerced some quality poi spinning talents from the likes of rachel fulton, shaina johnson and roger lai to model my stuff!

the show is may 15, in oakland, but here's the rest of the deets:

click on future for the whens and wheres, but take a peek at the gallery of past shows as well.

thanks all.. i promise not to spam this tribe again until next spring's show!
