My friend is a huge movie buff and wanted to throw a space balloon themed birthday party as it was also the 30th anniversary of the movie. Being an amazing girl, I put every effort into making a dark helmet costume for him, among many things (including but not limited to renaming Perri Air and "shaving cream" cans, putting together an amazing 80's/90's playlist and creating portable pizza huts). We managed to find files that someone shared online for some costumes to be 3D printed, but finding something for the helmet was a challenge until we found this umbrella. It took about 6 cans of paint to turn this thing black, but we did it without passing out from the fumes, and voila! The perfect multi-purpose dark helmet was born! It was really cool because when we got back into our Halloween costumes it was raining and there was enough room for me - Princess Vespa - to join me under the evil Lord Helm's umbrella, which I found oddly attractive. Even my father's brother's nephew's former roommate, ex-cousin, couldn't disagree with the charm of this helmet. Umbrella. We were pretty rough with this thing and twisted the handle to make it more comfortable which messed up the alignment of the latch that holds the umbrella open, but this umbrella took a hit and with a slight twist came back to normal. No issues with umbrella function or foldability after painting or twisting the pole.
