Okay so this is the bestist, sweetest idea I have seen in a long time. I love balloons, it is not uncommon for me to arrive at a birthday party holding a selection of giant helium beauties, little did I know I was a natural balloon trooper...
Those kuki folks LA way have been doing it for years, but they have managed to make a successful business out of it, called Geronimo Balloon Troopers! Amazing. Geronimo! was founded by Certified Balloonatic and Master Balloon-Trooper, Jihan “Jihanimo” Zencirli, as a way to celebrate friends’ and families’ lives in her hometown of Seattle in 2010. On any given day, Jihan could be seen arriving to a restaurant, birthday party, friend’s home, park, art gallery, library or boutique with her balloons fastened to her 1974 (yellow with matching saddlebags and whitewall tires) French Moped, drawing attention and delight from every person she zipped past. Eventually “The Balloon Girl”, as she was soon known, decided that it was time she shared the bliss of balloons with people of Los Angeles. Jihan opened the doors to her Seaton Street Studio and Workshop in Los Angeles, on May 1st 2011, where her spherical interests can be seen as an explosion and visual feast of fine ribbon, vintage millinery and hand cut paper fancy created exclusively and originally for every order, also offering party planning and event services!
If you are in the LA area why not try them out, sadly for me as I live in London I will have to continue my one man balloon mission alone! http://geronimoballoons.com/
Here is a picture of me and my balloons!
