Default Balloon act advice.

Does anyone have a secret for how you attach the balloons to your body when doing a balloon act?
I tired a string around my waist that had the balloons attached to that, but then all i have in a balloon tutu...which is cute, but i want to be fully covered, without showing all the ugly strings all over my body when i pop them. Any ideas?

Thanks

If you find any special secrets, let me know! I want to do a balloon pop but I won't until I work out a way of attaching them that doesn't look odd once they're popped (i.e. strings of popped balloons all over ...)

This might be helpful. It's a very short thread though and the suggestions may still look odd after the balloons have popped.

Ladies, I suggest you ask Angel LaVey, or Red Sarah and one or two others who balloon pop. Or, start with one balloon and work your way up.
