Balloon Chit Chat / Mummy, can we buy a balloon?
January 30, 2016, 12:00:43 AM
I occasionally work at various shopping centres twisting and selling balloon creations and sometimes I can overhear parents' responses to their children - in particular reasons parents give to their children in order NOT TO BUY A BALLOON.

So, "Mummy can we buy a balloon?!"

- I have no change!
- We'll get it on our way back    (rarely the case ;) )
- You are not a baby!
- It will pop!
- It's a waste of money!
- They are closing.

And the following is possibly the best response I have ever overheard: " But I though you wanted a Play Station..." the child stopped asking for a balloon straight away  :D

How Did You Start Twisting/Entertaining / Born that way
January 13, 2015, 12:43:32 AM
I know it sounds amazing but I have never learned how to become a balloon twister - I was actually born that way. I made my first balloon dog at the age of 3 months moving to more complex balloon creations by the age of 1 year when I made my first step... It was very sunny that day...

My entertainer character (http://www.dali-ballooni.co.uk) was shaped up by Salvador Dali's personal diaries, my ability to create artist dolls (http://www.ingoodmoods.com), juggling, costume design skills, etc so one day Dali Ballooni entertainer was "born". Again, it was very sunny day that day (just some clouds here and there) ...

I do a lot of twisting. Moreover, I do so much of balloon twisting that I see balloon animals in my dreams. Sometimes, I see nightmares as well (balloon creatures chasing me and then I suddenly pop) and then I would always wake up in a soundless scream...creapy... but the show must go on on the following day. As long as it is a sunny day!
