One of the most iconic of all characters, Born in Los Angeles in 1926 as Norma Jeanne Mortenson. Monroe played ditzy blondes in her films but in reality was a style icon who has inspired everyone from Madonna, to fashion designers and artists. One of the reasons everyone loves Marilyn is her honest attitude and classic quotes, such as: I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.” – Marilyn Monroe Photo Booth Props August 1, 2015 Lately we’ve been focused on making parties that little bit better by make the memories even more fun. In our last post we talked about inflatable musical instruments . Which got us to thinking about other ways our customers love making photos that bit more memorable. For a while photo booths were popular at events, people loved getting instant polaroid pics of themselves. Ofcourse having to scan them or what actually happened, we found ourselves taking iphone pics of the polaroid pics – which seemed a bit daft. But hey anything to get them on facebook. Instead (and for a much cheaper price) we’ve introduced photo props, which are a great for any parties. Check out some of our favourites – click on the images to view the product page.
