i actually don't do fire poi. i have led poi that i use or i use field hockey balls wrapped up in socks. i'm still pretty new at it so i whack myself in the face quite often

Please do a demo for us? I don't want to see you get hit in the face but I'm sure it would be neat to see you do some of your performance art. :)

actually the interest started with a photographer's random remark about wanting to photograph a fire dancer... then i told a story about being drunk an a ww2 memorial on a mountain in germany and finding an old tshirt in a stone gazebo and setting it afire and spinning it around...

next thing you know, we are planning our fire poi shoot.

no i wont be wearing any hawaiian anything. prolly jeans since they are somewhat fire resistant. jeans, boots, and maybe some black body paint. we are trying to find a good location for the shoot with some trees and a good view of the night sky.

its finally a good thing that i dont have any hair on my head. nothing there to catch fire if i smack myself and the fuel used doesnt burn all that hot so im expecting only minor burns. :)

I just watched this video of a 10 y/o girl whipping them around. She was incredible. YOU - Morbid, are gonna set yourself on fire. Why don't you just use some black liquid latex while your at it...black body paint. **shakes head**

That would actually look kind of wild if he did something like tribal designs on his face and body.

samkat would agree if she wasnt obsessed with making snide remarks to me...since she sees me as the biggest threat it makes her feel good to be snide to me.

maybe i should smack her around a bit....

:)

i was thinking black handprints.... and something tribal to fill the empty space.. i dont want to wear shirt because it would prolly give me another permanent burn scar and i dont want to be going to the hospital to have skin peeled off me for months again... because it sucked pretty bad. shirtless, there is less to melt into my skin. but im not a model so some decoration would go a long way to make a still photo more interesting. so, darkness, fire, the moon, perhaps some water and trees... i can think of no better decoration than black body paint...

yes, I "get off" on making snide remarks to you and you alone.

Do I think it's cool, yes. Do I worry about you, yes. There, happy now, dear.

so i got 'em.

spun 'em around a bit in my living room.

hitting myself in the arms and legs didnt bother me much.

hitting myself in the cock pretty much put in end to my first practice tho.

I'm sure that smarted. Could have been worse though. You could have had them lit and been doing it nekkid.

its been fairly routine.

bored sitting around the house during the day, pick up the poi, swing em around for a bit, end up hitting myself in the crotch and find something less painful to do.

If you keep this up, all we are going to have to do is show you the stick and you're going yell "YOWCH!" Pavlov would be proud. :lol

;) Just pickin' on ya, Morbid. I'm sure it takes a lot of practice and will just be one of those things that comes with time. It will be cool to see once you are able to do it where can light them though. :)

I'm just envious because I wouldn't be able to do it at all prolly without catching my hair on fire.

Very true. I don't have the same plumbing but frankly I wouldn't want to get hit in the crotch either.
