Why you will see me playing with balloons!

It happened last August or September.  I can't remember the month exactly.  I was looking for a new activity to add to my broadcasts.  I wanted something colorful and playful.  I decided to get some balloons to add to my room.  I figured I could draw fun stuff on them, or add names.  It's a fun and common way to interact with people on the internet.  So, I purchased yellow, red, and blue 12 inch balloons from a local store.  (I consider my room a comic book, it's all black and white, and thus it needs colors to bring it to life!)

I got one of those hand pumps, because I thought to myself, no way in the world could I ever blow up a lot of balloons if it should get a little crazy sometimes.  I also figured, we should have a POP party! If I should start gathering a lot of balloons in my room, it seemed natural to have an opportunity to POP them!

So, away we went.  I remember things were off to a great start!  I started hand pumping balloons, writing names, and then one night, somebody asked me to draw on the balloons.  So I did!  Much to my surprise, it brought back a lot of hand eye coordination from my drawing classes in the past, and suddenly, I was drawing on more and more balloons.

Some of the balloons hold up well.  Some do not.  When it came to a popping party, it felt like the right step.  Although I was fearful as hell to pop them!  I remember sitting on the first 12inch.  I remember thinking OMG!  That loud POP is going to be too much to bear!  So I did what anybody in a state of fear of popping would do, and grabbed the nearest sharpest object I could find.  It happened to be a little writing pen.  It was a relief to bounce on the balloon a bit, and then when the time came, BAM!  I let it POP!  I was pleased....

...........I really enjoyed the drawing AND--->I just learned a hard lesson.  I was searching for past balloon art uploaded to my twitter, and apparently I can't access them?  They are too far back?  Does anybody know any tricks to go further back into my timeline?  I had some issues with my phone recently, and many of my photos got deleted.  I will now develop a backing up system to my computer.  I feel so silly.  I knew better!.............

Now it's February, and I've come a long way.  I've been diving much deeper into the balloon world.  In fact, did you know that a person with a balloon fetish is referred to as a Looner?  You do now!  Wiki it!  It's a playful and awesome world to explore, if you at all find yourself intrigued.  I don't want to take away the discovery for those of you are unaware.

Each and every balloon I interact with has it's own personality, and it goes the same for each and every person I meet with the Looner Fetish.  It's been an incredible journey, and each day I look forward to discovering more.  Honestly, I can't get enough.  My room is filled with these creatures.  I'm currently working on some photo projects for a Looner Club I have.  If you are reading this, and you are a looner 18+ or older, come visit me some time online.  I'm looking for 2 more looners to join (it's .50) so I can start a photo and video album for everybody to enjoy!  Don't be shy ;). You are invited to join a non judgmental, social, and friendly sweet spot on the internet!

For you POPPERS out there, (you know I still love you NON-POPPERS, I'm a semi popper, which means I go both ways), I will be hosting a POP Party Wed Feb 28th beginning around 8pm PST!  Keep an eye on my tweeter to find more information where you can join us!  I've got a lot of balloons that I need help POPPING!  

P.s. I have a Balloon Tipping Menu available.  For both drawing on more balloons, s2p, b2p, I take custom orders, I have a P.O.Box, and I am always open to suggestions for new looner activities! 

I hope your day is filled with lots of creativity and awesomeness!
