I do have a shabby chic porch so I decided to put it out there. Humm. I noticed a funny sound when I hooked the ceiling link up to it... That is when I realized the interior of the ball consisted of styrofoam!! Oh dear. I suspected the little mirrors were GLUED to the styrofoam ball meaning it may not withstand the out of doors porch idea.
Hey, I got it on one of those for sale sites at $7. I cant complain no matter what. Not that I will be rockin and rollin on the porch or in the bedroom like in the old days. Nope. Actually the best thing that will happen is my cat Lucy will chase the dots around the room. The sun hits it from the west meaning I do not have to purchase a motion light for it. I merely have to move it when it rains, along with the fancy victorian pillows etc. on my Shabby Porch. I don't mind, it's worth it.
Not to mention the dancing ball reminds me of the good old days at Hancock Center in Austin Texas where I got my first kiss. The Teen Center in Stoughton Mandt Park where we danced and stayed out of trouble for the most part. The Beatles and Elvis. Weird Ed Sullivan. You all have your Weird Al Yankovic! Not sure I spelled that right but suspect you get it.
Funny how we want something for years and then when we finally get it we don't know what to do with it... OR we have it and cant get rid of it! My forever wanted Mirror Ball is hanging outside on my Shabby Chic Porch rotating while my old cat Lucy chases the lighted (dots) around the living room as it shines through the large reflecting glass windows. Me....it is relaxing just knowing I finally got one. Something so small and insignificant. Probably many other things on my bucket list are equally as small and unimportant. When I die it wont rotate in the hereafter with me...... or will it?
Its dark now and very peaceful:
