fire hooping, anyone?

my friend tae is an expert hula-hooper.

to celebrate and honor this talent, his girlfriend meff

bought him a fire-hoop for his birthday.

a fire hoop is a hula-hoop to which several flaming flames are attached.

(insert flaming queer joke here)

i never knew such a thing existed!

this is why i love meff and tae.

well, it's not the only reason-

these fabulous and creative friends are some of my most favorite folks in all the land, for many many reasons-

but this is kind of exemplary of their spirit.

only at their charming, tea-filled home in brooklyn would i ever find myself photographing a fire-hooping exhibition at 4am.

god, i can't wait to move back to the city and be closer to these folks.

this bloody island's looking pretty freaking boring next to this.
