Had another sideburns yesterday (it's a weekly thing). Lamian, Darkeyes, Firedevil, Woodsmith, Twinkie,Snafu, Incendia, Lucien, Scarlett, and T (don't have a good nickname for her yet) were all there.
But this is more how I got into doing fire and the toys that I play with. I went to my first rave NYE 2005 into 2006. I went to more parties during 2006 and saw people (The Fire Technicians) spinning poi then. That summer I started learning poi from them and did my first burn of fire poi by the end of the year. I also got my own fire poi that year. They were really good teachers and I've learned a lot from them.
A couple of years later I wanted to incorporate more dance into my fire play and started to play with non fire fans. This would have been about 2008. Around 2009 I started hula hooping again because I had never learned and had some friends willing to teach me. I played with fans and hoop up until this year before really burning with them (I did my first fan burn in 2009 but that was on somone else's fans).
Lamian is also learning fans and is doing very well and I've convinced her to try the hoop around her waist (she's still learning hoop). The next couple of toys I pick up will be the last ones because they are the last really dance orriented ones; a fire orb and fire fingers.
So I've been burning poi for 6 years, playing with fans for 4 and hoops for 3. Just started burning those two. These next toys don't concern me too much set on fire wise because of how they are.
I speak of myself as a nymph somtimes (a cross between a dryad and a naiad) but there's a bit of a fire fae in me as well. No surprise since I'm quite covered in fire signs.
