This year they launched a foundation which had a 25,000 person waiting list.
Um which was absolutely massive.
Now I I I mean you're the the the the makeup guru, so I don't know whether you you you have had an opportunity to to try or use
Like look.
Yeah, look,
I I mean I I think inarguably it wouldn't.
Like I think that the you know, and I think, you know, this this does highlight the the the challenges in, you know, trying to break through in this way for someone who is like starting from a position of not having kind of been in
one of the most globally significant pop bands of all time, um, to to try and move into this space.
Like you you just you wouldn't necessarily ha like you're not gonna get the opportunities.
You're not going to necessarily have the the the backing and the buy in.
So it it is
Uh you know, I suppose as as we uh we we move uh further on into our wonderful spiral of capitalism, like I do think that the opportunities for people who aren't coming out of like huge platforms with the enormous money that with the with their own money and with the ability to kind of get into the room with people who'd be willing to invest in them, it's going to become more and more difficult for kind of just like startups or kind of like, you know,
uh uh like regular people so to speak to to to start kind of, you know, finding this kind of success.
Or what will happen is they will bring their their company to a point where it kind of needs that investment.
They'll have done the work to build something that has like a loyal
fan base or a loyal kind of base people who think what they have is really good and then they'll need to sell all of it in order to be able to see it kind of um kind of go up so they won't necessarily um be able to have the the I suppose the the the the benefits of of building something that sort of, you know, kind of is is um
the uh building something sustainable just for themselves based on their o their own vision.
And but it is mad to think like
Y yeah, it's like twent eighteen years, twelve seventeen years, whatever it is, like it is
not being profitable to be losing money.
