#1 Ms. Pinto acknowledged having made some typical startup mistakes in building her brand, in areas like financial management and operations.

Typical socialist. Couldn't make a profit at a lemonade stand.

#2 Just back from a month's break in Barcelona, ....In 1935, you ran guns to Ethiopia. In 1936, you fought in Spain, on the Loyalist side.

She never was much of a business woman. Mebe she could design bullfigher attire?

#4 when you post an ad on a semi-trailer you get attention.

Moral: Might wanna make sure it's an attractive ad, and an appealing semi-trailer

#5 So many artistes consider themselves above vulgar financial things. The smart ones bring in a partner with that expertise. The few who have both abilities, they fly very high indeed.

Expected. We're moving into the world of self-parody now. Bodes well for November.

#7 Indeed Shipman.

Still, not one of the successful entrepreneurs I know takes a month off, ever, and especially not during the startup phase or if the business is in trouble.

#9 If she was responsible for that horrible red & black number, she should go out of business.

#10 Perhaps the slightly skanky middle school teacher demographic doesn't have as much disposable income as Ms. Pinto's business plan predicted.

#15 "Michelle O's Fashion Designer Going Out of Business"

There are so many things wrong with that sentence.

The pathetic crap she's been wearing ain't fashion.

And I have a hard time believing anybody deliberately designed anything that looks that bad.


"So many artistes consider themselves above vulgar financial things."

Hell, I consider myself "above vulgar financial things" - but the bank and the power company, etc., keep sticking their noses in and reminding me I'd better not be. :-(
