I've had an email from an agent who is looking for a twister for this Saturday;

"I desperately need a balloon modeller for this Saturday 31st. It's a confirmed from 3pm-6.30pm in Alnwick, Northumberland.

If you can help, the person must be at a professional level and have a CRD certificate."
I'm assuming CRD is a CRB?

It's for a tattoo design

I'm sorting out a little logo with some balloon related wording that can be sensible or quirky.

The logo will be a basic sausage dog with wording above and below, so far we have,

a, my twisted world
b, balloon art
c, my world of latex
d, twist and chat
e, my world of balloon art

any other suggestions and ideas are more than welcome, the dog will be a variation of this one but in a single colour;

Lisa,
Do you have more details about where these can be purchased rather than just the picture?

Danny I'd like to widen the discussion if you don't mind to not only pictures but balloon etiquette in general, DVD's, peoples act's etc.
If you just want to keep this thread for pictures then we can start up another one.

Just had a quick look at your sites Yvonne and both look fresh and inviting.
The only thing that I would always have 100% of the time is a landline number, you can have the mobile as well but a landline is a must.
But this is only my opinion.

We do hope you enjoy and always look forward to more people joining in with the forum.

I thought nothing would top the other week when I was walking around Shanghai in a parade dressed as a flower pot, well how wrong can you be. As things go I thought that may well have been the highlight or surreal moment of my career, that is until I got a phone call on Friday.

It was in connection with a photo shoot for a pop video from an Australian band, they wanted two people inside two separate 6 foot balloons, no problem until they mention that the two people have to be naked. I was not impressed when they informed me that the band was big down under as well!! You can insert your own jokes here  

There idea was to pixilate out our bits, I'm not sure if I've ever had my bits pixilated before  
Luckily they agreed to my suggestion that we wear swimming trunks and pixilate them out instead. But we still have the problem of either getting inside the balloons with just our trunks on and catching all our arm, leg and possibly a few manly chest hairs along the way or getting inside clothed and stripping off once inside, the mind boggles at what we will do for our art.

There are more funny things to tell about this job like how we got pictures of both Mike and I who are hopefully doing the job to the client wearing only our underpants................................I don't think I've laughed so much in ages    :lol:

And yes we do have the pictures to prove it  

Quote from: "Sofie"I have some projects coming but if I tell then I have to kill you.

Sofie, Could you tell Colin then  :lol:

I was looking for a balloon performer on you tube and watched this again, it's just an amazing clip,

I was working for a housing association the other day and the official photographer came around for the magazine shots that they all seem to do. They generally all promise to send them to you but never do so it was nice that this person was true to his word.
He also got the name of the company into the shot.

I've just seen that it's also Koen's birthday today, so pass on my best to him and I'll give him a big sloppy kiss when I see him at the millennium jam in a few weeks.
