Google: Goth Hula Hoop

It was certainly my claim to internet fame. I love that picture. I actually posted it a few months ago on r/blunderyears and had a wonderful experience hearing from people the picture inspired and felt good just seeing. That in itself is pretty awesome to know that you were able to inadvertently make someone happy or laugh.

I definitely had a lot of fun at a local college town as the “hula hoop guy” and even knew of some hooping clubs (especially back when hoop dancers were huge) that used the picture as inspiration and whatnot.

Oh, I also had some random guy try and take credit for being the person in the picture. That was a dumb conversation.
