Tattoos and Taboos

I am currently working with a group of 19 beauty pageants that have tattoos that will need covering for their show. Because it is not acceptable for beauty pageants to be adorned in tattoos for the two piece, these will need to be covered. It is amazing where you will find these tattoos, and just how many can one body take? The good thing is I will be able to cover these tattoos, and they will look like fabulous beauty dolls airbrushed to perfection!!

Dare I mention Christmas….?

Gulp! It’ll be here before we know it! I’m busy taking out the pop up boutique to ladies’ homes who are being super organised and either shopping for gifts or treating themselves (you could wrap yourself up as a present in something gorgeous!).

The wardrobe is now bursting with new collections and some fabulous Hollywood Screen Siren boudoir wear to make you feel very “Greta Garbo”.

With gorgeous dressing gowns edged in ostrich feathers or chiffon ruffles (get me to a chaise longue with a gin martini!), matching chemises and a new range of silk underwear is coming soon that’s being stocked in some rather well known London stores!

BooBoo’s also working with the lovely Electra Collection jewellery which compliments our range range beautifully.

Stooopid!

Yesterday on Twitter I was called “Stoopid” by David Lee Venters of Croydon who promptly then blocked me from following him!

How interesting I thought!

His observation and posting on his Twitter page was the result of my Tweeting with a PowerPoint tip. So I guess he doesn’t deliver many PowerPoint presentations, and if he does it’s likely to be Death by PowerPoint.

Firstly – how long is the average person’s concentration span? Well it used to be 20 mins, but now with the speed of social media it’s much quicker.

So here’s the thing. You’re given 1 hr to deliver a presentation. Do you deliver death by PowerPoint for 1 hr and have your audience snoozing at around 25 mins in, if not sooner? Or do you break up that 1 hr with a variety of presentation?

In case you can’t think of any alternatives eg alternating between flip chart, whiteboard, PowerPoint, You! And here’s where the PowerPoint Tip comes in.

Sometimes when delivering a PowerPoint presentation you’d like the audience to totally focus on you and not be distracted by anything, including the content of the latest slide. This maybe because you want to emphasise a particular point, you may want to work on the flip chart, you may want to emphasise the impact of the next slide, or you maybe the MC and you’re handing over to the next speaker, whatever the reason this tip is invaluable – it’s so easy!

With the PowerPoint show still open, just press “B” (stands for black, ie black screen) without the quotes, or “W” (stands for white, ie white screen) then when you’re ready, just repeat and you can continue delivering from PowerPoint.

Now who’s stoopid? Not you that’s for sure, because your audience is still listening to you! Just give it a whirl and you’ll see….

Beckenham meeting 11th August

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Jackie Groundsell for her excellent workshop on “Tabs” before the Beckenham meeting. I use “Word” a great deal and never knew about all the things that you could do with Tabs. If you missed this workshop and Jackie does it again I would really recommend that you go along.

I took my computer with me as I use an Apple Mac and Jackie and the group helped me suss out the differences between a PC and my Mac. I learnt other things too from the group about “Word” too!

Jackie is a great teacher as I went through my lesson the next day and with the notes I had made I was able to recall it all.

So thank you Jackie and thank you also for your great patience with me when I insisted on writing notes during your demonstrations. I was simply keen not to miss anything so I would be able to do it all again on my own.
