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?

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.

ANYTHING WITH MY WIFE IN IT....

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).

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.

No, what makes a woman hot is her overall appearance plus the way that she carries herself. It's not just breast size. It's the way her hips curve into her butt and into her waist. It's the curve of her neck into her chin. It's how she wears her hair. It's her smile. Breasts are part of the picture, but it's more about how they fit in than how big they are.
Much as how women talk about penis size not being the sole determining factor of a man's...uh...horizontal performance, breast size is not the sole determining factor of a woman's attractiveness.

That's the spirit Paddy! Perhaps you should start a "Humorous Poi Pictures" thread!
Wet T-shirt ideas aside, I think we should seriously consider a "Fire Beauties" contest... get a panel of judges together (both guys and ladies) and have everyone send in their submissions. We ought to decide on some requirements (i.e. must be using a fire toy in the pic, nothing distasteful, etc) and could judge on stuff like photo quality, creativity and originality, attractiveness and enthusiasm, etc.
Oh yeah, and NO TOUCHING UP THE PHOTOS... I don't quite think Leo is a fire spinner
Does anyone have an interest in showing off what they look like on camera? Personally I think Bender could strike an awesome pose with his fire-hook-sword-whatchamacallits blazing I could use some feedback like who to get in touch with on HoP to arrange a contest, who's interested in judging, any ideas ppl might have for entries, etc.

Can Pozee be excluded from the competition at all? Some people have an unfair advantage in attractiveness contests. Makes it easier if some of the better looking lads are out before we start.
I'm not going in a category with Sickpuppy, Durbs, Arsn, Shibaki, Pozee, Bendy, Myst or Whiffle Squeek - them boys are all too damn cute. I don't stand a chance against any of them.

Yeah, I was serious, I think it'd be fun to post some really beautiful pics of spinners. Attractive and artistic art could really add a touch of flavor to the site. If you'd rather not compete, there's still a spot open on the judging panel... if we could get possibly like 3 guy judges and 3 girl judges? Sound like enough? Of course, then there's the matter of generating interest in sending in pics....
