Fun In The Sun Without Hair

This is a re post from June of last year. It was important then and still Important now!!!!!!

One could not have asked for a better day yesterday. The temperature was around 78 degrees with blue skies and tons of sun. A local community fair was the stage for what would be the first of many capoeira performances conducted this year. Although this blog is recent, the “Superbuff” team has actually been in training since the end of last year. Training ideas and routines were completed hundreds of miles apart, often using text messages to track training and progress. The time came 20 minutes into the performance were the Mestre (head guy) takes off his shirt. On que the rest of the men in the performance removed their shirts. I was happy. It was hot and let’s admit it, a bunch of half naked people jumping and kicking is sure to draw a crowd. Then I saw it. An established friend of the group popped off his shirt and there it was. A shag rug blowing lazily in the wind, attached to his chest. Droplets of sweat hung to the ends of his flowing wavy chest locks. The beads of sweat dropped from their perches and hit the searing pavement, sending up plumes of steam. This brings me to a saying of an ex girlfriend: “A diamond hidden behind bushes is still a diamond but no one can see it.”

Superbuff people, show off your diamonds! You’re working hard to be Superbuff; don’t hide the results! Cut the hair and save the rest of society from the gagging that is sure to follow after your vines come off during play in the roda. Surely flossing was meant to be done with the wax covered filament that is sold in the neighborhood drug store.

Superbuff is officially stating “cut and trim.”
