have no plans for tonight? here’s an idea. go out and buy a bunch of balloons and then invite your friends around. you are guaranteed to have the BEST TIME EVER as evidenced by this series i discovered in the LIFE archives, photographed in 1948 by Martha Holmes.
these images are so great.
Haha what a great idea! Brilliant photos!

Haha those are fabulous!
These photos are AMAZING. So classic! And fun. I have a feeling things would get way too inappropriate over here, though. We’ll see.
Ah, those were the days!
What an amazing glimpse of the past… These people surely knew how to have fun haha!
These are positively delightful, thank you for sharing!
Ahhh, these make me so happy!
Which issue of Life from 1948 was that published in?
Thanks
I found these pictures posted from a balloon forum. Its very interesting from the perspective of a balloon twister to see folks perception of our art back then. The art form has certainly moved on!
