All about ME

Me, me, me……..actually there is not that much to tell, except that………

My name is Calypso Rose (yes, thats my real name, always asked), Clippy to my friends.  I went to Putney High School where I met all my best friends Sophie, Sally, Emily, Jenna, Annie to name a few...  My best subject was singing (lalala…), Geography and Business Studies. I also loved Netball (which I still play).

I dropped out of university - I was going to study geography at Kings College London (as I quite fancied being a weather girl), but when I got there I found I wasn’t that keen, so I left.

My family thought I should keep studying (as you have to work for a long time…) so I managed to get on a stage management course at lovely LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts) where I worked extremely hard for two years learning stage management and technical theatre (that’s lighting and stuff). I had a fantastic time clutching a tool box and being bossy and learnt a lot so thank you everyone.

I found a job at a company called Banana Split, where I worked as a production assistant – sometimes, when I was good, I was allowed out and worked on celebrity exercise videos and Vox Pops. I was going to be a floor manager (loved my radio headset).

Then I made the first bag on the kitchen table. Oooops. Everything else out the window. Glad I did business studies. Since then Clippykit has had good days (London Young Business Person of the Year being one and more recently Entrepreneur the Industry) and a few bad days (fitting a stand at NEC Birmingham when all  electrics are broken and the panels are the wrong size springs to mind as bad day).

Personally I love dancing, cooking, outings, sunshine, my bunnies, Rolphy, all my friends and family and Ted the dog – not necessarily in that order.
