so this is it. my fire poi is here and im getting a few new moves down to dress up my art a little more. i need to do many things if i want to start performing. i wish i had a big room with mirrors i could watch myself dance in. so, things i need?
1. a stage name
2. a routine
3. a costume
4. 15-20 minutes of music.
A. shpongle: nothing is something worth doing.
B. BT feat. Jes: light in things
C. ????
1. a stage name,
Fire fox, glitter fox, foxy flame,
2. a routine
once i pick the final song, i need to start from the beginning with a note book and start with the first move, write it down go into the second and write it down. and just practice doing it over and over again.
3. a costume
do i want to go bold or do i want to be mysterious? do i want to be light or dark? sexy or fun? is there a way i can come up with a little bit of everything?
fire proof.
mask, gloves, leg flairs, skirt, top.
colors: purple pink, black or nude
4. music:
this is hard for me to pick. do i want it to be high paced or down tempo? i feel like i will be playing to a lot of older crowds. so i think down tempo is a better call. shpongle is great for poi. i just tried to take a minute to listen to some more music and its so hard to find the right one!!!

Fire Poi
so the order is in. i ordered the fire poi on oct. 3rd from Home of Poi. in new zealand. and its expected to be here by oct. 18th! im so super excited. my land lord has been helping out a lot with lots of different advice for me.about 2 weeks ago he brought up a 20 min. gig to me to see if i was interested.of coarse i was. but after about 4 or 5 days i realized i didnt have poi down enough for my satisfactoy. i feel like i if im trying to impress people with only 2 weeks of actual fire practice i feel like im going to get burned. i know what happens when i get music i like on at the same time a camera is on me. i screw up big time. but if i knew i was going to get them right now as i was posting this. i would hve prob. said yes.!!! but my land lord, boris, came by yesterday and gave me a little pep talk. so as soon as i can im going to get down to jo ann fabrics and pick out some fabric for my costume. then im going to practice with them all the time. and get a routine down. i think over a 5 week period of stretching and a routine practice i will be in good enough condition to put on a show that i can be proud of.
