"Be a bimbo"

That's basically the pitch. That's not ok. As I said in the manifesto, that's the trannie ghetto. There's a bunch of people in Wellington who need to reconsider their tactics. Did bullying me and using your influence in city hall persuade me? Did threatening me with charges for having a crush persuade me? Did gaslighting me and using porn to manipulate me persuade me? While you were busy doing those things, Dave and Golriz invested in my opera idea. Got to know me well enough from that. - My view of it, in hipster-speak: the time portal closed, and people with the chutzpah to want to work with me when I was being investigated are the people that are now in a very strong position to put on The Perfumed Garden. Those who thought that they 'deserved' to work with me, but didn't meet me, are out. All that time wasted trolling me... and now I'm investigating you! Without time stamps, consideration and a signed contract, you're out of luck. Wellington will take a very dim view of the film biz discriminating against me. People promised lies, and I've delivered truth.
