SantaMonicaFest%202008%2021%20BB.jpg

Sixth-grader Michael Jekins, 11, spins seven hula hoops around his waist at  Clover Park during the 17th Annual Santa Monica Festival on Saturday, May 10, 2008. The hula hoop is an ancient invention - no modern company and no single inventor can claim that they invented the first hula hoop. The Greeks used hooping as a form of exercise. Older hoops have been made from metal, bamboo, wood, grasses, and even vines.

Bijoux Belle, a Santa Monica native, sits atop the public art sculpture titled, 'Singing Chairs' (1987 by artist Doug Hollis) at Santa Monica beach on Saturday, February 9, 2008 .  The elegant 18-foot-tall chair  is situated on the broad expanse of Santa Monica beach. Five slotted aluminum pipes on the back of each chair extend skyward to catch the wind and produce musical tones. The chairs are painted in pastel hues and are positioned obliquely in respect to the shoreline. Visitors can climb up six rungs to sit in lifeguard fashion, while viewing the environment. According to Hollis, the musical tones can be heard as far away as 500 feet on a windy day and 100 feet on an average day.
