The Red Balloon

After I posted this image last week, I thought it would be fun to recreate my own  photo shoot with a bright red balloon.   I found two novelty shops on Robertson Boulevard (who knew there was such a need?) and their selection of candy colored balloons made me giddier than a five-year old. So, before our Saturday night sushi date, I indulged my inner child and ran around on a deserted railroad track with my new purchase wrapped around my wrist…in 4″ heels nonetheless.

    I love this photoshoot. The red balloon, the overgrown train tracks, and the sunset make for a very pleasant day dream. I am going to be in California this weekend, so I hope for good weather, and sun!

    Absolutely Not Martha – You started it? Absolutely not. 99 Red Balloons came out in 1983. Everyone else has been tagging along since.
