Melting make-up not a deal-breaker

OMG, OMG... Richard Maerov, quietly-confident producer, voice messaged: 'if you're still into it, we'd like to tape your pitch. O-M-G: 'IF I'M STILL INTO IT?!! You betcha I'm into it! Then, a dose of reality: 'we tape in three weeks' Three, count 'em, three weeks. Three weeks. To hone a business concept, take a crash course in internet businesses models (is there such a thing?) develop a business plan, have my numbers down cold, create a made-for-television pitch, not to mention the mind-boggling and ever-present what-to-wear headache. I ponder all these issues at aHuman Rights Watch fundraiser, where I shout my good news over the music to a couple of very tall men. Two words get their immediate attention: Dragon's Den. One's a VC who cautions: you don't want any of those Dragon's to invest in you. I know them all. Give me a call and we'll talk it through. [this warrants another OMG] Making it to the finals opens doors. Then, the men's wives arrive (both powerhouse women)I get their attention, too. But for a different reason: what am I going to wear.
