"Yesterday, while stopping by NBC&amp;#x27;s Today Show for a segment on Swimwear Dos and Don&amp;#x27;ts I happened to bump into a super-cool yo-yo-ist, and yes, that is a word. Pat Cuartero, who left the corporate world to specialize in extreme yo-yo-ing, taught me in one minute to do something I never thought I&amp;#x27;d learn to do!&amp;quot;Extreme&amp;quot; yoyo-ing is the newest trend and is about to explode (or at least shed it&amp;#x27;s nerdy reputation). During my impromptu yo-yo-ing sesh yesterday Pat passed down some cool new tricks, though I have yet to reach &amp;quot;extreme&amp;quot; status. Pat told me all about his new company--YoYo Nation, which sells the coolest new yo-yo&amp;#x27;s to hit the market. I especially liked the SPYY Pure Gold yo-yo, made of18 Karat Gold and costs a whopping $349! ...though I&amp;#x27;m probably more likely to buy the Duncan Butterfly yo-yo for $2.99 (also available on Pat&amp;#x27;s site!) Check out the pic of me and Pat and watch the video to see what this crazy cool trend is all about. Want in? Stop by the 2009 YoYo Open, August 7-8, to see what this is all about. Seriously, don&amp;#x27;t you think a yo-yo is a great thing to stash in your bag? While it won&amp;#x27;t glam you up like a tube of lipstick or blush, it&amp;#x27;ll be a definite conversation starter. Can&amp;#x27;t say that about all the old receipts and gum wrappers that are currently rolling around in your purse can you? Funny right?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
