AND GOD CREATED WOMAN
This is an example of a new phenomenon — women using a hula hoop not as a prop for startling tricks but for beautiful and generally subtle dance moves. It’s a bit like pole dancing, which is itself evolving into a highly aestheticized dance form, just with the pole sectioned off and formed into a circle, inside and against which the woman does her thing.
I find it mesmerizing and intensely erotic.
