Can you please pop already?

Celestine never expected this when picking up a regular Roomtex 24'' and inserting a valve into it. It was supposed to be a regular blow to pop video... and at first, that's how it went! Steady blowing and great technique help her get the balloon to a good size in just a few minutes.

Can you please pop already?

Celestine never expected this when picking up a regular Roomtex 24'' and inserting a valve into it. It was supposed to be a regular blow to pop video... and at first, that's how it went! Steady blowing and great technique help her get the balloon to a good size in just a few minutes. The toy grows bigger and bigger with each breath and very soon it's approaching a size where you'd expect it to pop. Celestine slows down a bit to not get lightheaded and keeps blowing. Camera is fixed in place so as not to miss the precious moment. The girl blows... and blows... and blows... The stupid piece of rubber just won't tear and burst at all! Not matter how hard Celestine tries her balloon keeps taking in the air and expanding. Soon, it begins sliding off the plastic valve — the thing supposed to help with holding balloons during b2p's. Things heat up and Celestine is getting sweaty. There is no choice but to re-do the valve, take the jacket off and get this bad toy to pop. More blowing commences and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it grows to be almost as big as Celestine herself — the tallest person in our studio. And that person is laser focused on finishing her task.

They say the process is more important than the result sometimes. Perhaps it is the case for this video. Even though the process was a battle of perseverance and lung capacity.
