My name is Christine Wy

And I have a tape problem.

Hoola hoops,* require lots of pretty, shiny, wonderful, fantabulous tape, as you know from my pictures. All I can dream about are the next great color combos I can make. And then I get on the internet, “Hmm, could I make that work as a hoop tape.”

I admit it. I’ve gone bonkers. I can’t buy any more tape until I sell some more hoops (so buy people!), but I cheat on my bank account and look anyway. Ooh the pretty colors! Oh the possibilities! Mmm.

They’re like brain candy. Colors like gum drops and Lifesavers (TM). Mirrors, prisms, black-light—oh they’re delicious to my eyes. It’s like when I went through my raw cookie dough phase—“Mmm, my brain could totally be eating color right now.”

Tape is probably better for me than cookie dough (my waistline says), but it isn’t any more affordable. But, oh, the colors. The beauty. The sweetness that melts in my eyes.

I long for you prismatic hearts. Soon, we’ll be together soon.

*(“hula hoop” is TM’ed by Wham-O)
