I think we all know what a disco ball is – especially those of us who were kids of the 70’s and watched Saturday Night Fever. But the disco ball dates back to the 1920’s where it was widely used in nightclubs and it is even recorded to have appeared in ballrooms in the Boston area in the late 1800’s. Wow! There’s a lot more history to these fun, mirrored spheres than I had ever thought! So when I saw one at my local Walmart {that’s right, Walmart} I scooped it up. It may be just a cheap party decoration but it is all disco fun! And I really didn’t appreciate my disco ball until I came downstairs one day to this:
All those reflective lights! Can you dig it?
The disco ball may not be a traditional decoration or an expensive one but I think everyone needs something in their home that’s a little off beat, a little silly – and something that makes them smile. My disco ball does just that and it brings life to an otherwise serious dining room.
I’m on the hunt for an authentic disco ball but this one will do for now. I’m getting my bell bottoms and halter top out next.
Far out, man.
Very funny! I can so see you in those bell bottoms too! Love your blog.
