starting fashion label

Wow this is great - got fed up with "old man' - who only boargth me a sweater for christmas so I went out and bourght myself the ,ost expensive camera I could find!! (not really) then didnt tell him I got it - It became a bit a a joke amongst friends.. they all knew but he didnt.

The shop assistant said why dont you go and make it pay for itself and sell you pix. So off I went cycling on my anchient 50year old bike exploring london taking pix . I showed them to a show organiser and they have given me a stand to sell my first works.. This is brilliant.. I am having so much fun. this morning I was reaching the sky overlooking the river. yesterday I was experimenting with time delay exposures to capture the night scenes.

It is almost poetry ezpecially when its weather like today.. clear hot sunny and calm... definately recomemnd find yourself a new hobby

Can anyone tell me wheres a good spot for a view stretching into the distance? in london that is... dont think my legs could get me outside yet!!

Well if you want to cheer on a fellow blogger... the show is on at olympia at the end of June.

come and have a coffee

Expressions - The biker with his amazing skills which have been developed problebly as long as a life time - the photgraphy a new found talent needing to express and capture a spicy moment.

Dreams of exhibiting when I have mastered the exprosure times - need some tutorials how to work the light meter

Been down to local Bizlink- apparently there are a few awards going but they take.....
90days to get CRC do that you can apply
40 days to be considered
then a further 60 days for the money to come through...

in total 47 weeks... how many weeks are there in a year???

Are well lets keep persuing more options

have to start thinking investor speak...
moneymoney quak quak me me!
What good lingo.. I am not going to talk to dragons - I havent got my bucket of water handy

Back on the charity case - I have prepared some fab colourful A4 posters to go into schools about the work
can anyone help me get them up...

I think it will help brighten up any dull grey coridor
acturally i could post a pdf of them to copy out - watcha think?

Right now lets get over this crappy investor melarky
Im thinking of promotiong the charity at Hotelympia... has any one exhibitied there... and do they know how to barter with the organisers to get the price down.

Lets get an audience to help this little site get moving - even if its down on pocketmoney

My next aim is to get 5 good meetings with important people
those that can help make it work

Now where am I going to find them... trade mags, buinsess mags
shops
Can anyone offer a little volunteering time to help get those meetings?? gift of the gab is a must

have a fun night

Bloody investors - building a business from scratch is megga hard especially when you are developing a lot of new hopes for the underprivelegd kids.
So to help get the business off the ground one gets help from a so called investor

Yeah well, 9 years developing the invention, 9 years of Patent fees to cough up each quarter, 10 months of negotiations and business plan adaption, national marketing surveys... oh yes all single handledy on a wage of £250 per month - no benefits, grants or any other form of income.

And on Dee day when the finally installments of major patent cost needs to be paid for
FF*ing investor bails out with two hours to go before patents freakout

SO JUST FOR THE RECORD....
(particulary aimed at investors or for that matter "Dragons")

Just Stop and Think:
about the small personally funded inventor you are investing in..
You have raised their hopes, their dreams, their self esteem. You have enabled them to think for the first time in their lives that life may at last move out from poverty.

The people - children, oldage persioners, mothers & babies, you and me's, that can benefit from the reduction of accidents because of the invention

Then at a selfish whim pull out TWO HOURS BEFORE A CRITICAL life, future or death situation. just because
you cant be bothered to find 27K while you other projects need 50million

Yeah Well - thanks for FFing up my future and all society's hope's for preventing serious burns.

Pull support out from the small person - and their life is RUINED

Pull the money out of a big guy - and they would probely take you to court.., so you dont do it

The same sort of threat should apply -- so you would think twice before making empty promises

After a frustrating moody blue start - yep grey drizzle definately makes the worst part of the year seem long. Just to cheer myself up I went round the the most rediculos pink bobble hat... and the jokes came flying... do recommend for a quick me up.

Now back to immitating an entrepreneur or rather the status. Have three completely differnt projects on the go
A charity - not to make money
An invention- ( money pit)
And
An Interior design consultancy (charitable status!!!... every one wants freebies)

Ive put all three into orbit to see which takes off
but at the moment its looking a bit like they may... what on earth do I do..

does anyone want some work and are their any volunteers available for the charity if it does go live?? (east london)

Had a good one -now back to business started with making up new web site
gosh its good but .. its a bit of a "bomber". I think I crashed about 8 times,
now I crash every time i quit the internet.. does any one know what has happened??

Once I have done a little more to make it presentabe come and have a look and give me your feedback its called +++ = foxyrebel.moonfruit.com

Sometimes its great to get back but other time it feels so daunting becaus when ones self employed.. you just have to start marketing yourself ... who like marketing and do you have any free tips

When it gets quiet i have to get brave and get on the blower ... Mailers are a huge expense and have very poor results

start roasting that turkey.. timing according to delia is essential - try 5am tomorrow morning - the rest will be fine as usual. Brussles 20min (steamed) redcabbage with chestnuts sauce. redcurrent jelly..yum-yum.. my already stuffed tummy is already stretching to make mire room - hows yours??
Collecting family from around the country, gathering them round a hearty fire and the pine smells from the xmas tree. Its such a personal experience. The next moment is to feed everyone up ready to tackle the icychills of midnight mass. Lets hope the choirs are given candles to welcome christmas's arrival.
Well I dont think it will be white for a while.. could it be a new year's treat?
Sleep well.. Put stockings out, send a thanQ note to Santa, leave snack for his rein deer. Make sure children are so exhausted they will sleep through anything..dad slipping over marble, tripping over cat, stumbling over bed with child in, all in the name of romantic illusions.

Have a brill one xxx rebelfox

The squeal of children running and playing, with bright twinkle of tinsel. Decorating the tree in disorganised creation. The sounds of secret pressies being wrapped in crisp new paper. Surprises lurking under the tree, slowing and mysteriously growing with each new addition being ticked off our list. I anticipate and long to smell the rich secent of cloves pushed into oranges, with hot cinamon wine melting on the stove. An insight to old values and histories distill themselves within us.

Merry Christmas and keep the romance and dream alive

I have found this brilliant site called moonfruit.com that allows you to build your own site ANNND upload it for free.. (for 14days i think). To a complete novice like me, it all looks so striking -having flash pix , large listing pages and your own blog page.

Are there lots of these sites around.. and giving more than 14days... I want to learn how to make a web for my charity for disadvantaged kids and improve my site foxyrebel .co.uk without ruiniing it.

I would like to find out if there are any community projects for disadvantaged kids, who already provide the music skills but want to take their projects further. please drop me a line.
