Sexy Spinners Competition?

It's probably already been brought up but I couldn't find anything on it thru the search so I thought I'd mention it...

Often on the board there's some sort of popular thread relating to how sexy spinning fire is, how you can pick up dates with it, etc etc.... has there ever been any sort of competition (video, photograph or otherwise) between firedancers to see who's the prettiest? Kind of like a beauty pageant, but with our particular variety of fun thrown in All free, and all just for kicks/bragging rights.

Could be fun if it's never been done before, perhaps some time-lapse photo fire art? Or even video, though that would have to have some very specific rules attached to it for decency's sake. Guys or Gals could each compete in their own division... could be a good addition to someone's modeling portfolio too!

OK, so I'm an idea man, but really - Anyone got thoughts on this?

Woo hoo, I lose!! Wait a minute, loosings a bad thing.

Yep I'm a goofy lookin mo fo, so dont count on my entrance!!

Can I be a judge?

prettiest? uhrgh what a horrid thought, there is no such thing as the prettiest.. we are all pretty at HOP. wouldnt be able to judge this competition fairly because we all would be the winners

I don't beleive in Poi "contests" to determine who is the best/prettiest/sexiest/best in bed/whatever.

If you want to have a competition for who can submit the best video or something, that's one thing, but it goes against my expectations and my reasons for doing poi to label anyone the "-est" of anything.

hmmm, let me think for a minute...

ANYTHING WITH MY WIFE IN IT....

(Doesn't matter that she doesn't spin, although she learned to juggle in about 10 mins!)

OMG
somebody (i'm not good at all) go on that new "30 seconds to fame" show and spin!!! that would be kick ass, i would vote for you!!!


edit- ok, i'm retarded, i saw this show was mentioned in another post!

oddly, as everyoen mumbles about spinners picking up girls, i'm weird. i tend to pick up teh spinners friends, or those who are to teh best of my knowledge at the time the spinners friends. I'm still trying to work that one out. Must be a nice break for teh friends though.

there's definately some very physically attractive people that are into fire dancing. Was just flicking through the pics and couldn't help but notice how gorgeous Michelle in shutterpoi's folder is! very nice.

But hey - its gotta be the whole package that's appealing right? And, in my opinion, we've already had that competition and Sage rightfully won it! She's sexy, talented and has a vibrant energy and sassy attitude that audiences just love.... (not that i've seen her documentary, but that's what I could discern from her COL extract).

ooh you bunch of spoil sports!

Don't worry Brody, I like your idea.

*VOTE DOM!*

The leggiest blonde I know
xxx

and the award for grumpiest cummudgeon in the fire spinning community goes to Mikeginny.

Keep up the good work Mike.

I don't know any girls in person that spin besides Veronica and she's to old for me lol (cool nonetheless)

flash wud win.

and i'd not enter coz im ugly

Ok, Ok, Ok, can we have a wet T-shirt fire spinning contest? I mean, it would be safe and all, right? Wet T-shirts don't burn.

(Oink, Oink)

So would the wettest t-shirt win? I never really understood the rules of that one. There must be rules otherwise it's wet t-shirt anarchy.

how about, they can only get as wet as they can while theyre actually twirling?

if they start off wet, or get wet after they twirl, they are disqualified?

that would be interesting...

you mean like spray them with fuel? Or with water? The fuel idea would asure an entry from Knagi.

Not suggesting for a second that he's a nutter or anything. But I'm fairly sure that the idea of being sprayed with fuel whilst he's spinning hot and burning things in the name of competition/entertainment is one that would appeal to him....

Hmmmm... i like this idea. Could it be like a fifties beauty pagent where they ask you what the one thing you could wish for and EVERYONE says world peace or a puppy for every poor child. I would answer "a pair of flaming poi for every girl and boy" and smile nicely to the judges who would stilll vote for the one with the biggest yonkers, well that rules me out i lose.

lol @ teh wet t-shirt idea, i think i like it

And Kinudin, i'm sure you'll meet more girls that spin. I'm not saying, however, that they are gonna be ur age!

I found a girl that spins. Not sure if I've mentioned her before.....(tehe). She's not my age either. Don't need to meet any more though. This one is perfect for me.
