10 years ago Venus passed earth,
although in Australia you could not see it. It was on the other side
of the world.
12 years ago I was standing on a
balcony thinking how on earth did I get here.
I was standing in the penthouse of the
Martinez hotel in Cannes overlooking the Riviera. This was before
facebook, social media, and it was a big thing to have a website.
Now, unless you are 'Lady GaGa' it is a bit embarrassing to have a
'site'.
I never mixed in the 'Hollywood' Crowd,
but I did spend my 30th birthday with Liv Tyler at the
Ivy. (well had to name drop) Sat next to Trudi Styler and mixed
company with Kelsey Grammer.
Something I learnt was to shut up until
spoken to. I sat and I listened. I sat and I listened to the
biggest learning curve in my life. Sit in the meetings and surmise.
Why was I there?
I sat there for when the dealing became
heavy and heated. There were finances being swung around the room
with majority share holders of music and TV industry. What did I
do??? I listened! I observed!!!!
Quite insulting for poor Marilyn
Monroe to be seen as the dumb blonde where she had the world in her
back pocket.
After when things became heated and
fury of all parties would be on fire, the only place left to look in
the room was at me. For the opposition to ask me how my day has been
and what I think of the weather?
Do you really think that they cared
about my day or how the weather was outside?
Ha ha,
Thank you NAPTE and MIPCOM for being my
training ground in Europe and America. It is funny that now no one
is asking me how my day is or how the weather is!
I have been told what to eat, how to
sing, how to live, who to date, smile at such and such, sit next to
that person, ring this person.
Now I don't have to be told!
I'm your Venus!!!
