It's very cringing but these days I feel like I'm making myself out like I'm some sort of jet setter which I'm really not.  Apologies for lack of posts/comments etc (I've said that twice this month...that's pretty poor form...) as I've been a little frantic/fraught trying to prepare for a three day trip to Sao Paulo, Brazil.  I leave tonight and there's still about a gazillion things to be done which invariably won't be done but let's not get into the specifics of that.  If I'm honest, I'm a little unclear as to what will be going on in Sao Paulo but I know it involves Vogue Brasil, me giving a 20 minute presentation about the blog and this is all in association with some Brazilian electrical appliances company Brastemp.  Honestly, I'm not really overly clued up as I only got an e-ticket for the flights two minutes ago.  I'm a wee bit tentative given that my track record with Brazil hasn't been great.  No, I've not been before but for a while, I got a series of rather demented emails/comments all routing back to someone in Brazil, making jibes that I had lost weight/gained weight/am ugly etc etc (the usual malarky...).  Of course, this is silly tosh that I should ignore because a) Brazil is ma-hussive and not everyone is going be giving me jip about my weight and b) said nutter hopefully won't be at this event.

Anyhow, the folks over in Sao Paulo asked me to make a 15 second clip introducing myself.  I think they wanted a web-cam basic kinda video but of course, fish bowl web cams freak me out and the giggles means I'd never get 5 seconds of the video done let alone 15 so I thought I'd do something a little simpler....excuse the rushed voice, who knew fitting an intro about oneself in 15 seconds could be so difficult...?
