    Wouldn't it be great if that intricate handcrafted balloon dress were on display in the lobby of 51 Astor Place instead of what's currently there?

    Oh, and congrats from me too. I just took it for granted because I take it for granted everyone already knows how great you are!

    The balloon artist is Emily Season...the model is Janelle Jonna. I hear they have plans for a big balloon sculpting event in lower Manhattan this spring...
