This is my first attempt at spinning in character/alter ego and maintain a feel or theme with music, body language, dress, and footwork. Let me know what it said to you or what imagery came across, I have yet to see anyone spin with my vision I have for myself and would love to hear responses.
Note: It was very windy so if I look distracted my tails stung me quite a few times and I'm aware it happened a little.
~Rock on!~

it had a very energetic feel to it. and you went to the music really well.
btw just out of curiousity, where did you come up with the name hipster nightmare?
to spin or not to spin, that is the question.

Thank you ma'am! It's actually a very funny story how I became the "hipster nightmare".
Long, long ago when I was about 13 years old (sophomore year of high school) I was always a cracking dry jokes about the non-conformists conforming and mainstream people being sheep (basically rambling on about individuality and being original), but in actuality I too was a fashionista dedicated to being a trail blazer in all the lesser known underground cool stuff. My friends would call me out on it and I did everything possible to not be the true "hipster" I was having fun poked at me about.
Many years later we all come to the conclusion I'm too silly and too much of a wildcard to ever be a full hipster, so the "hipster nightmare" was deemed the most accurate title for my shenanigans!
