There is a new show on TLC called The Unpoppables. It is a reality show about balloon artists that make incredible creations for their clients. The first show had the balloon twisting team creating a lifesize scene of a firetruck and a firefighter putting out a fire. I encourage all of you to watch this exciting program Monday nights at 8 PM (7PM Central Time) on TLC. The program has already generated some questions.
Have you seen that new show about the balloon twisters? I can’t watch it when it airs because I twist balloons at Corona’s Mexican Restaurant in Greenville on Monday nights. I have a DVR so I can watch it later.
What do you think about the show? It looks pretty good so far. I have worked on many large balloon projects myself. The Unpoppables accurately portrays the pressure and challenges of working with balloons on a large scale project. Anything that brings attention to the incredible world of balloon art is a good thing.
Do you know any of the people on the show? I have met them at balloon conventions and twisted side by side with at least one of them in a balloon jam. But since all of the balloon twisters on the show live thousands of miles away from Greenville, South Carolina I don’t have the pleasure of truly calling any of them a friend.
Can you make me a lifesize firetruck? Show me the money and we will talk!
