On the 9th Day of Christmas...

...this blog gave to thee...
...nine balloon dresses...
...eight resolutions...
...seven pretty shoesies...
...six party dresses...
...five gold rings!..
...four collared hangers...
...three Mad Men...
...two hedgehog gloves...
...and a house to dunk into your tea.


"Rie Hosokai is the worldy appreciated balloon artist. Her significant technique and exquisite sense of fashion were proven by winning the international balloon dress competition "Milleniumjam Fashion Award" two years in a row and many other major balloon art contests. She is the most desired artist performances continue to entertain men and women of all ages." - Rie Hosokai.com

I hadn't intended to post twice about dresses, however, I saw these and I was a little smittened.

Rie Hosokai aka Daisy Balloon is a creative designer who began her artistic career bending and twisting balloons into flowers, before graduating to full blown ball gowns. Hosokai's artwork is humorous and incredibly intricate despite the medium. Each gown is designed in such a way that should a rogue nail hit it or any element be pressed too firmly and burst, the integrity of the dress will remain and none of the other balloons be affected. But she is the first to admit it is a stressful and difficult medium, which she fell for whilst working as a florist when she was moved from flowers to balloons.

There's fate at work for you.

Happy New Year! Part ten tomorrow...
