Sandy Cioffi (featured in a previous blog entry) and her film crew were imprisoned a week ago because of the controversial nature of her work there documenting the oil industry. The embassy and many others in the wider community have been supporting her release, she is safe and should be coming home soon. UPDATE: Sandy and crew are back!

Southside Booty Camp participated in ‘our’ first auction ever on Saturday night! The Booty Camp session I donated went for $550 in the live auction to 37th District State Representative Eric Pettigrew’s wife, Jada, who hopes to participate soon! Thanks to the Pettigrews for being huge supporters of the Rainier Valley and all the others that contributed at the event in support of the Chamber and its scholarship programs. Special kudos go to Booty Camper Susan Davis, the Executive Director of the Rainier Chamber of Commerce and master organizer of the auction!
A few moves from a March 8 am class: KNEEUPS – working the booty and legs, HOOPBALL – a game played to encourage a full range of motion during explosive movement, FOUR-POINT PUSHUPS – stand, squat, thrust out the legs, do a pushup, jump back to the squat and back to standing – a booty camp oldy but goody, and a couple pilates moves – SIDE PLANK and ONEHUNDREDS – great for the core!
