Events. Balloon, Magic, Etc / FLORIDA SUPERJAM 2012
April 18, 2011, 04:08:32 PM
I went to the 2011 Florida Superjam and it was BRILLIANT! Smallish, less the 100 delegates, great value with fantastic teachers (our own Twistina - Robbie Furman etc).

Here's the link and also to the photos of my time there. Really can't recommend this highly enough.

I've had a last minute date switch that has left me free this Saturday the 30th. Just thought I'd put it out there as my witchy costume is dusted off and ready to go.....

I'm based in London but always travelling everywhere......

I went to Royal Ascot in a Monsieur Sigrid inspired hat and a Miss Ballooniverse outfit! It was such fun posing for the press... and punters and getting interviewed for TV. I told them, everyone's wearing hats made of feathers and net - why not latex?

Balloon Chit Chat / Advance Bookings?
May 12, 2010, 09:32:50 AM
I need some advice please. I've been asked for a booking in 2012. When the lady emailed for a quote she didn't state when the event was, so I put on it that this was my price for 2010. However, it makes me nervous to be booked nearly 2 years ahead. What if my circumstances change radically..... or my prices???? I'm fairly new to this private booking lark. How do you guys handle this situation please?

Balloon Chit Chat / Q Jam
December 06, 2009, 08:22:49 PM
Hi All,

Tony, Katie and I went to the Q Jam on Wednesday 2nd December. There was no formal workshop, just Dee running through the basics for the decorators who attended. A jolly good jam session with plenty of time to practice our festive models - and Tony Twist helping us tackle those pesky big 'uns! Graham asked me to show you some photos of what we got up to, so here they are....

Picture Gallery / Urban arty

[ You are not allowed to view this attachment ] UrbanArtyS.jpg[/attachment:y4pj5gcr]A snap taken in between shots on a photoshoot on the theme of glamour in an urban environment. I'll post the shots that the real photgrapher took later. The hat is of course inspired by the one and only Monsieur Sigrid.

Any tips for how to pop a large number of balloons quickly without sounding like a firing squad? I've tried lemon juice, vinegar - all to no avail....

How Did You Start Twisting/Entertaining / How I started
October 02, 2009, 07:20:34 PM
I was head-hunted by Becky (Wivatwist)! How cool is that? She had just taken over Balloonatic and knew me as an actress/comedy person and wanted more entertainers on board. Becky asked me if I'd like a lesson in twisting from her to see if I took to it. Took to it???????? I have loved every minute of my life as a balloonist and I feel priveliged to be able to do it professionally. It's the only job I've ever had that gives me as much joy as acting. I look forward to a liftime of learning and sharing.

Balloon Chit Chat / Electric Pump Wanted
September 17, 2009, 05:12:59 PM
Does anyone have one they're selling? Also, anyone use a Balloon Hero - and do you reccommend it? That would be my choice if I can't pick up a secondhand one, but they are awfully expensive....

Balloon Chit Chat / Addi Somekh UK date!
August 20, 2009, 11:57:33 AM
Addi Somekh is coming to the UK and teaching a workshop on Wednesday September 9th. I did his class at the Millennium Jam and it was a highlight for me. I really can't recommend it highly enough - awesome balloons and inspiring philosophy that has stayed with me ever since. £50 +VAT - worth it! Links with info below.

Picture Gallery / Natalie at Ascot
June 19, 2009, 10:25:54 AM
Ever since I realised that hats could be made from balloons I had a secret ambition to wear one at Ladies Day at Ascot, and yesterday it happened. To day it caused a sensation would be an understatement. I didn't get that much positive attention on my wedding day! People constantly wanted a photo of/with me and were saying 'that hat is the BEST one here- what's it made of?'. Here's some photos.
