People keep asking us, “So how did this HAPPEN?” (We assume they are referring to Small World BIG FUN, rather than how much more beautiful we are today than the last time they saw us, although that must certainly keep them wondering, too.) The answer is, “Well, we actually intend to build and control the Intergalactic Empire of Small World BIG FUN, which will include our talk show, advice column, and perhaps a clothing line (all the celebs have those these days), but the travel business seemed like the place to start.”
We know it takes guts (and perhaps some wide-eyed optimism) to start a travel company in an economic downturn, but we have been talking about this for two or three years, so we finally just did it. The good news is that Cindy knows what she is doing; the Viv? Well, the less said, the better! (Bottom line? Call Cindy if you have a question.) Our third partner knows more than both of us put together about how to make a go of this, and we are REAL glad to have her on board, but we are not yet at liberty to reveal her identity. We can’t have her cover blown for reasons that are still TOP SECRET. (We’d tell you, but we’d have to kill you. Well, really, she’d kill us, and we’re a little bit afraid of her!) When we are ready, we will reveal her identity with lots of fanfare and some cake!
We hired our friend and graphic designer extraordinaire, Amy Gatewood, to whip us up some fab business cards and letterhead, got our High Obfuscator Gill Rogers to do the legal mumbo-jumbo, and here we are. Our Chief Cabana Boy, Dan, is giving us business advice, and our Supreme Commander of Technology, Michael Connery, is helping us with all things I.T. We even have our own tax man,
Doug Jacobs, to keep us out of trouble with the IRS! (His title is Wartime Consigliore–how appropo!) So anyway, we are now on our way to even more BIG FUN than we’ve ever had before! And it’s LEGAL!
Titles for the Fabulous and the Beautiful
(We know you are wondering, “So who’s ‘the Fabulous,’ and who’s ‘the Beautiful?’” The answer? If you can’t tell, why should we?!)
Now, about those titles: Cindy and I have always coveted titles that would truly express our range of power and dominion, but no one was ever willing to address us as “Your Majesty” or “Your Royal Highness,” or whatever. Well, maybe we DO have delusions of grandeur, but now’s our chance, and it’s your chance, too. Post a title for Cindy, and one for the Viv. Post one for yourself, too, and we promise to use it! We are ALL ABOUT titles!
