I get calls all the time asking what the price is for a telegram. I tell them I need to know where, when, costume/character and are there any add-ons. Most people don't have any of that info. Really hard to guess as to how far we are traveling and what kind of character and make up a price.

Gal, this morning wanted to know how long a telegram was and I said it is 10-15 mins.. She said,"That's it?" This is for a birthday at somebody's job... Is she expecting an hour concert?

This week again pretty busy...

Chicken in a thong bikini for the boss at RIB Software... had me waiting for a while for a phone call he was on, but he was a good sport.

Buddy the Elf at Northside Hospital in Cu***ng for an employee's birthday with balloons..

Gorilla in a thong bikini at an AirBnB for a birthday with a group of DJ's...

Taylor Swift in Marietta for twin gals turning 18..

And finally another Chicken in a thong for an attorney's big bday in Decatur!

All went well and looking forward to busier weeks...

18/02/2025

Starting on the 12th... beginning of V-Day teles... Whew... barely made it for three days..

Cupid went to Toyota Forklift to sing to a BF off Fulton Industrial.

Very long drive to Grantville as a Naughty Nurse.

Very long wait for Cupid at the State Capitol.... and a very small tip by the guy who made him wait to get him into Fort Knox... All went well after that, but... not acceptable.

Cupid went to Milton at the Lash Lounge and then to Bella Advisors in Roswell... Both were very happy... The wife wrote that Cupid was adorable and she would only use us from here on out and was worth every penny!!

Gorilla with a Heart on.... went to two bfs in midtown with chocolates and balloons. One who was overjoyed and said it was awesome/made his day and the other who said he had no idea who the telegram was from... I'm wondering how that went over after the gf saw the video...

Then a Lobster with balloons for a bf at Message In A Bottle restaurant... he was very surprised and embarrassed, but afterwards sent his gf a text that said, "I'm dead and I f-ing love you!" Think it worked.

A Chicken with a Heart on... for an 8 year old who looked like he wanted me to leave as soon as I started singing... but the puppy who was leashed in the house loved me...

And finally Elvis sang at the Grand Hyatt in Buckhead after NY Prime would not let anyone sing for their long time regular customers in the restaurant.... !! What is the matter with these folks?

So we are ready to help you celebrate any occasion that is coming up... Give us a call!

A couple of restaurant telegrams last week...

A Leather Daddy at Industry Bar in Buckhead for a 10 year anniversary being a bartender there... Fun was had by all!

And a Marilyn for the owner of Firepit for her Dad's 70th. Though the music was turned down, it was very loud from the customers... There was a mic to be used and I asked twice if she wanted me to use it, but it did not come out until the end for Happy Birthday... I did my best, but again if you are an owner of a bar, you probably would know the sound level of your place. Always good to check these things prior to...

We still have times open for V-Day this year... please call 7706767527 If you're ready to make someone's day special!

Busier week of last...
I was a Chicken in a Thong with Prosecco for a 21-year-old at a GA Tech Frat house... Well it was a rough time getting there and parking, but mostly all went well. He was very embarrassed! Thanks, MOM and DAD! Others in the parking lot were screaming and laughing at me...

Had one of my juggler/stilt walkers do two shows for St. John Bosco Academy in Cu***ng that went very well.

A Chicken in Albertville, AL at Allarade Foods for a boss' birthday..

And a singer/guitarist in Charleston for an 80th birthday who loves rock and metal... Highway to Hell was one of the song picks!! They loved it and we have moved into another city!

Please let us know if we can help you with your V Day celebrations! We do like singing silly love songs to your significant others...

Filled in for a friend who I also hire yesterday as she was sick. So a lovely party outside on Saturday for a 5-year-old and all of her friends. Lots of face painting and balloons were had. There were some funny moments with the balloons as they were still frozen from being in the car for the last couple of weeks, but we made most of them work!

And another strange phone call from a woman who might have been a client. When answering the phone, I could not hear her and asked again. While she was attempting to answer, someone else phoned in disrupting her call. I just said, I was sorry, but someone was calling in during the call. She hung up. I called back only for her to tell me... I am going to go with a different company... Um ok... Wow, people can be really odd in making a determination from a disjointed phone call, that is clearly out of my control...

Another slow week, but had two telegrams that went well!
I got to be a disgruntled old lady for Rainbow Intl in Stone Mtn. This was based on an actual client who is suing them... (also brought cake and balloons). It was a lot of fun and the admin whose birthday it was was seriously ruffled.... I even got to talk at the owner who was also a bit upset. A few minutes later I broke it and went into the birthday songs... They were both embarrassed and laughing. Funny thing is the owner knew this was going to happen but apparently forgot and fell for it... haha... The birthday girl told me I was a great actress.... And the Oscar goes to...

And we had a Leather Daddy at Volkswagen of Marietta for a birthday in the service dept....She didn't want to get birthday swats, but she enjoyed her flowers and balloons. A few minutes after my guy finished, I got a call from a customer there getting his car serviced. He wanted to know how much a telegram was and I asked him which costume/character he would be interested in. He said, oh the guy that was here... the train conductor... I laughed out loud. I said, Oh that was no train conductor, that was a leather daddy.. He giggled.

Had a few other calls but was never able to get a response back from these clients. I mean a phone call back, would be nice to be courteous, but there's not much of that these days. And another at the base in Augusta, but they basically frown on singing telegrams for soldiers, unfortunately. Then the father who was going to send it, kind of hit on me on the phone... Oboy...

Let us know how we can make your event special!

I'm going to say yet again as a public service announcement - please do not under any circumstances hire The Popcorn Lady for your event. The owner whose name is Todd has not paid me for my performers since Sept 21. He said he would meet me, then said he would send a check and has done neither, because he's angry and frustrated with me asking for the thousands that he owes me. He also hires thugs and criminals and he is one himself.

This week again.. quiet but we entertained...
A Cowboy with guitar to sing Morgan Wallen and other birthday songs... client was not sure we would show up...? We did.

And Hamilton/George Washington to make the 50-year-old in Duluth at Just Brunch (here for the gymnastics championship with his daughter) and to make him feel comfortable with someone from his age group... haha...

Almost had one at Fort Eisenhower in Augusta for tomorrow, but they weren't fun or interested in helping a Dad try to make his 19-year-old's birthday a little bit cool before he starts training.. Too bad. I'm sure he would have enjoyed. And I even called the base to find out if there was any way possible, but nothing would be available until Monday..

Today, a Chicken in a thong... all the way in the boonies of Newnan. Maps took me S Fulton Dr.... pretty desolate... really glad it was not at night... and if you have to use the restroom... good luck. I was eyeing the woods for a while and then thankfully a bit before the house found a "country store" ugh... I don't know how they do it .. miles in the country...

But all went well, lots of laughs, learned a new song "Chateau Lobby" and made the birthday boy happy...
I was rewarded with a beer to go and a hefty tip! Thanks to the Butts! You have to be a good sport with the name... Sweet people!

The past couple of weeks have been rather quiet, not unusual though. We had an 87th birthday dinner with one of my awesome magicians at a restaurant in Roswell.

Hairy Fairy with Balloons in Dallas for a favorite cousin.

Two Buddy the Elfs for a property manager in Decatur and then a prank for a vendor from KL Metals to McElroy Metals in Pendergrass GA... they loved it!

Interesting gigs this week...

Was a karate gal ala Lucille Ball for OFS Studios in Norcross to pretend I was there to audition for the director's new movie and of course his birthday... It was very silly.

Chicken in a thong bikini at an Ethiopian restaurant on Cheshire Bridge.. Wind was gusting, balloons were all over and almost lost my card and notes, but went well, Then walked over to say Hi to the Diogi Doggie Daycare since they hired us for a petting zoo for a gal's bday. They almost didn't open the door for me, as they said they always get weird characters trying to come in... Yikes...

Buddy the Elf in Rex GA with flowers for a Mom's birthday.

And yet another Buddy the Elf with balloons for a husband's birthday at his work...

Finally today one of my fave magicians at Mill Creek restaurant in Roswell for a dad's 87th birthday. All were amazed and very happy with his surprise from his son who could not be there tonight.

Still have lots of openings for entertainment if you are still looking for the holidays!

Today, after back and forth email for 6 days, I'm trying to get more info about this job and the telegram, giving suggestions, website etc... and the person has been curt and really kind of rude for the last several days says - "You know what, I think Im going to use someone else. You have answered none of my questions and have come up w excuse after excuse as to what I want can't be done. Good Luck to you."
Disrespect ... it's getting old.

Several jobs this week that went well...

A clown for a manager at Modify Health for his 50th birthday...(he hates clowns), sang and made a balloon hat and sword for him. He kept saying "Is this really happening? I feel like I'm on something..." Haha...

A large event for a company Christmas party at Atlanta Design Group. We had my fire performer and juggler/stilt walker greeting guests outside in the cold. We had a mime, a caricature artist, a gold jester living statue, and my excellent magician, along with my DJ entertaining the guests inside. Got many compliments from guests and other vendors.

And I did a chicken with balloons for a Poshmark seller who was in the middle of an online show. I sang to her and her 100 followers and of course to her husband and the cute chihauha...

Still have dates open for any parties/birthdays or events coming up. Please give us a call 7706767527.

I face painted and ballooned a first birthday party just around the corner from me (that never happens) and I realize that this mother is connected to the folks who I have done other parties for in Lawrenceville. She didn't tell me when we spoke, but I saw all the kids and mothers I had worked with before. They said hello and then of course I'm waiting to be paid by the husband who took his sweet time and did not give me the correct amount and then had to wait some more. The women and kids are fine and remember me and say thank you etc. The men in this group are another issue. Women are treated as second-class citizens. The first job that I did for this group I needed a table for face painting and they had a large dining table in that room that was being lauded over by the men. The women dared not ask for a portion of that table to be used for the entertainer. They stuck me in a dark hallway with a folding tray table. I asked for a lamp and they gave me one that kept flickering out. Nobody cared. Today, after dealing with the payment situation and then my other entertainer showed up as Ariel, I found that the pathway that I noticed and apparently someone else didn't, blocked the path out of the parking area. I asked the guys sitting outside if they could find the guy with the Lexus who stupidly blocked me and everyone in. I stood there for 15 mins waiting until someone else on the other end moved their car, and then another car followed them. At that point, the guys who were hanging out there stopped to chat with the guy in front of me for several mins. I yelled out that I needed to leave and they eventually moved. I'm sorry but passive-aggressive and crappy treatment of women/and/or entertainers is very uncool. I will have to decide if these folks call me again whether I'm willing to put up with this kind of treatment.

The last couple of weeks have been slow but we've had some great telegrams...
Couple of Buddy the Elves in Alpharetta and Fayetteville with Frangelico. The dude in Fayetteville is a voice-over artist and apparently very successful. A Hairy Fairy in Buckhead with an orchid...
And a Marilyn yesterday SW ATL for a husband and wife who have been together since elementary school and have the same birthday, and are a doctor and attorney.... Wow!!

December is pretty open and we have elves who can paint and do balloons, Santas, and other options for other types of events.

Please support small businesses today... we all need it!
