The other side of globalization? For over three years, a balloon twister and a photographer went around the world and made balloon hats for everyone they met, for free, and took pictures of them.
Now THATS cool. Metafilter at its finest! (though the title of the link seemed like Metafilter as of late). Beautiful pictures. Its amazing what a little color adds to everyday life. Thanks for the great post!! super sweet.

When I saw the words "balloon hats," there was no way I was going to look at that site (coulrophobe) but I'm glad that I read the comments and relented. Really beautiful... but how'd he get it on the camel?

Beautiful... the balloon hats on the Masai almost seemed like regional festival attire, and not the art project that it was.
Thanks for the link!
