Some brilliant woman just posted her “top seven” meme on ‘s LJ, and said that one of her “things to do before she dies” is to own a photo booth. It hit me like a bolt of lightning. That is a BRILLIANT idea! I love photo booths. I used to be a member of a photo booth LJ community, until the posted images got too massive for me to read at work. Every family portrait my mom, dad and I have taken in the past decade has been in a photo booth. Crikey.
Now I am investigating the possibility of purchasing one, and we all know what that leads to. Pipes has no impulse control. Pipes will see a “good deal” and will not be able to stop herself.
Look! I’ve already found links to ones for sale on EBay, including a very affordable one in Maryland (I could visit while picking it up!) and general vendors like Apple Industries, Smart Industries and STI Vending!
Damn you, Robert Lepage, with your compelling cinematic visuals in ‘Nô’, driving me to contemplate this madness!
I saw some show on one of them hollywood gossip programs talking about how all these stars are getting photo booths for their parties. Also when networks, awards shows, etc have parties they set up a booth. There are a few books out by stars/shows with booths. It was neat. I believe I have rambled with little to no information.
Renting a photo booth and using for a photo guest book is a big deal at wedding right now.
And I live in minnesota, not maryland…starts with the same letter but much less southern.
I heard on the radio this am that Neiman Marcus has one in their holiday catalogue, for $20,000!
*g*
Sorry! Geography = not my strong point.
Chrissy can attest to this. I used to think lived in Denver, Connecticut.
Yes, I am an idiot.
*blushes*
Dude. D00D. Nothing is affordable at a couple grand USD. *snaps fingers in front of your nose* Hello in there!
Yes, photo booths are very cool. But you can use them for a couple dollars anytime you like!
you know, if you do end up buying one…
i will have to make you my new best friend and i will never leave your house.

see for yourself, i have a serious problem
i’m not even going to try to talk you out of this. i am however, just going to mention a couple of things: first, just where are you going to put it? will it be safe in the back yard? Can it fit in the basement? do you have a spare condo just for it? And second, just think how much more fun you’ll have every time you move from now on. exciting possibilities abound.
some of us just think finding tins of chipotle peppers is good enough. but you never cease to amaze on a scale i never venture into. Dentist’s chair next? i hear they’re very comfy. 🙂
No no no… you had him in Denver, Vermont.
You also wanted to visit Las Vegas, California.
Poor Moira. *headpat*
Also, do remember that in addition to the booth itself, it will require supplies that will also cost money… photo paper, and also, I’m assuming, photo chemicals, because photo booth photos appear to be printed the classic way.
I’m waiting for her to put an actual roller coaster in her backyard.
[aside] Now she’s going to turn part of the house into a darkroom.
buy it! buy everything! lack of impulse control = boost to Canadian economy.
Remind me to smack you in the head.
i love that your family takes photobooth pictures. no seriously. that’s really cool.
You have to get a grip of your knickers and give up this crazy compulsion to own everything in sight! I’m with Sarcasma on this one – it’s much easier to go to the mall and hang out like a teenager and take fun group shots in the booth. The best part is hanging out with your buddies, eh?
