When our birthday-suited bathing beauty of the previous post is ready to rise from the marble slab and get prepped for a night on the town, one key ingredient to her fabulously feminine look is a Hoop-la. What's all the Hoop-la, ya ask? Well then, let the pictures below do the talking (and if anyone out there knows a good Hoop-la untangler, I'd very much appreciate their contact info-- thank you!) Fun packaging design though, with a very thoughtful placement of that letter "O." I actually stumbled upon this thing buried in a record rack amongst some old 33 1/3rd vinyl.

Ha ha, that thing is beautiful. What a tangled mess. Seriously, I have a silk lantern that looks almost exactly like that, only the frame is bamboo. Also it came without the cute packaging. I'll try those four easy steps!
Agreed about the product title treatment. That some clever design.
Everything old is new again, or so the lyrics of a song goes. I am no fashionista, but I would be surprised if this concept was not resurrected by either the mainstream designers or those who create unique garments for the fetish crowd. A clear plastic skirt with the Hoop-la as its inner skeleton might make its appearance someday.
The Hoop-la design is what would happen if a skirt was designed with an umbrella frame built in.
Sorry I can't help with the untangling of this find, I don't even do jigsaw puzzles much anymore.
This reminds me of the wood and metal puzzles you get as a kid -- get the ring out of the maze!
Which begs another question: how did people have sex during those times? Must have taken ages to get anybody out of their clothes!
