time to cut the “recession hair”? Rockstar haircut, yes please!

Here’s some of my latest for hoop dancers. The new HoopPretty shop will be debuting soon! My sis and I have been busy coming up with some new craveables for our hooping friends.  I especially like the new “freak of nature” design ~ circus-inspired, elegant and fun.
