X-Men III, Elton John and other stuff
X-Men III...well it's going to be one of those love it or hate it films I think. I liked it, Gary didn't. Other than that well I don't want to give too much away, but the beast is fantastic, Archangel is cool, and as for The Phoenix....well Famke Janssen has to be one of the sexiest women alive. Anyone who disagrees...take a look at the Phoenix.
And you have to watch right to the end of the credits.
And then Elton John.
Have to say he's getting old, and he can't do certain songs anymore, and really shouldn't try (sacrifice for one), but he's still fantastic.
Had me in tears three times during the show, once with Baby you're the one, once with Your song, and then again with Don't let the sun go down on me.
What can I say, I'm in a fragile state of mind at the moment.
Oh, and I've decided to start my own on line alternative clothing company.
Still at the research and development stage at the moment, but I'm intending to get it set up and trading hopefully within 12 months. I have a name and a few ideas, all I need now is funding, a logo, some stock, a website, more ideas, some help, some advertising, some customers..............

That's a really cool idea. Funny I was thinking the other day... I remember years ago I had this idea to do custom t shirts, like punky ones, but I decided I wasn't practical enough to make them myself... Funny how I just happened to be thinking of it a few days ago then you mention doing your own alternative clothing thing!
Are you going to be making stuff or finding it and selling it? I'm not sure I have any useful skills but I'm pretty ok with computers and I can be honest if you need opinions! I'm mega busy with my thesis right now but if I can do anything to help let me know, I can be more helpful after september!!
Good luck! It'll be tough but sometimes you have to take risks to get to where you want to be in life
Well I'm thinking a bit of both at the moment, things like t-shirts and stuff like that are easy, I found a t-shirt wholesaler that does the screen stars t's which are good quality etc and not expensive. Screen printing on them...well there are plenty of screen printers around, including my uncle, or I might be able to get the stuff and do it myself.
Other than that, I'm not sure, I'd have to have a go at making stuff and see if it's saleable first, if not then finding stuff, maybe altering it to make it 'my own' and then selling it on sounds like a good plan. Plus I'm maybe thinking of doing odd bits of jewelery too, and maybe cards and gift tags...I've been getting kinda crafty over the last few months...
crafty is good - I want to do a few courses, definately pottery and jewelery making. I wanted to try making lino prints like we did in art too, but right now i don't have time. Maybe you can sell some of my stuff too!! If you have your uncle for printing and hab for general business advice that is an excellent start. My only concern was when you said 'alternative clothing' was that the biggest market for that is tennagers, who don't all have access to credit cards and therefore are more likely to buy stuff from a physical store rather than an online one, but I'm sure you can find enough customers! Starting with your email address book :)
All very interesting anyway.. and better than chocolate fountain hire!!
