Sacré Coeur and the Big Giant Head

Mr Matthew gave a one hour costume-design lecture-with-questions today at Sacred Heart in Chi Fu (Hong Kong). He did it from his sun room in sunny Bondi. It was a follow up to the two hour costume workshop last week, when kids brought in their costumes and designs and presented ideas and he gave feedback. The earlier one was more fun, authentic and messy as the kids were really invested in their work and their questions. This time everyone was trying to be good for the cameras and it killed the excitement. It's exciting to get a workshop with an outsider when you're in highschool. I'll get the video and put it online.

I've been ignored by one webhost/designer and rejected by a second (he's moving away from small business). I have a meeting with a third on Monday afternoon.

The meeting with Suzanne the accountant was fun. She talks really fast and you have to keep up. She's full of ideas and cross-references and asides. I like it. She's really a part of a community of women in business and I started to realise that if I register a business, I'll be one too. Crazy.

Things we will do this week:

1) A year plan with timeline and maybe a five year plan. [tan & matt]

2) Make a web page to keep brilliant ideas in existence, but out from underfoot. It should have the following categories:
done
urgent
soon
later
maybe someday
[tan]

3) Start on the first 1500 item zip-pack. [matt]

3) And make a list of stuff, knowledge, connections we have and call it 'captial'.
[tan & matt]

That's Bonnie's idea. Bonnie is a fab new friend who works with insigniam and thinks in extended metaphors. Also full of connections, asides and cross-references.

I also have these qualities.

I said it elsewhere, but I am really starting to notice something about women in business. A certain (explosive) flavour. I like it.
