What? No way! Don't buy into their propoganda! We're the good guys here!!
On a more serious note - that's good to know! I've never really given balloon-animals.com more than a passing glance since I've been a member of mbd2.com. I'll have to poke around there one day and see if there's anything I can learn; or contribute.
Okay, I took a look around balloon-animals.com and they do indeed seem like a friendly bunch. 
I still think I prefer mbd2's format better - *balloon-animals.com* posts their instruction in video format; I'm not crazy about that personally.
However! I did read a bit on their forums and the members seem like a friendly and helpful lot. Maybe worth looking into for would-be balloon artists
and by the way Princess... I like the rainbow caterpillar on your webpage; and I did the hat in your avatar pic as well...

After Jolly mentioned your website I had to check it out as well. Looks like you are doing a good job. Busking can be a lot of fun. I'm glad you are giving it a try.

Ok, so G wasn't on my hooked on phonics dvd! I meant to say I "dig" your hat!
However! You've inspired me! I think I'll put together something akin to your fab rainbow hat....
On another note...
Not sure if you've ever been to the states or not, but....
How is clowning, ballooning, and magic (anything odd really - fire breathers, stiltwalkers, etc) looked at over yonder?
Alot of people in the business there? Many people do street performances and the like?
just curious - I've never made it to Singapore

Honestly...i've nvr seen a clown do street performance..unless there are events or carnival...i can say its quite competetive..they usally comes with magic and balloon sculpting. For balloon busking..I've nvr seen before but i heard there was before...X'mas is coming so Im helping myself to balloon busking for extra income and have fun while people bz shopping.
And me..just like u...nvr been to states b4...nvr been to other countries beside Malaysia....poor me...

Ah - street performances are pretty common on this side of the world (if you look in the right places). Fortunately, the competition isn't as fierce as it sounds there (except maybe in New Orleans here).
Sounds interesting though; hopefully I can make it there on vacation someday - I'll have to bring my clown with me when I do.
On the reverse side - if you ever add the U.S. to your list of places to visit; you should think about attending one of the numerous clown colleges/clown camps we have - alot of hands on "clown education" to be had from them. Or at the very least - visit one of our clown alleys!
