I think I have a syndrome

That looks very like my daughter at that age, she’s the one that got me into Ghibli, and bought me “Fireflies” as a Xmas present. Oh, and she’s called Alice……

Cah! is it okay for me to hate you?. . . . . just a little bit? Ha!

My initial interest was from my step daughter, also a Ghibli fan and a cosplayer of some significant talent, she's a graduate of St Martins in Wimbledon where she gained a degree in

'Theatrical costume interpretation and design'

A very clever girl, she's responsible for the anime figures I'll be building, one of them is in the figures section of this forum at the moment, it drew no interest so I haven't posted any others

Sounds like early onset 'stashitis' to me Miko!

Yep, although not fatal unfortunately there is no effective treatment or cure!

The sooner you accept that resistance is futile, the less stressful your life will be! Can't say the same about your bank balance though!

Hmmmm, you're right, I know it, I'll try suffer in silence and learn to cope! Ha!


Miko (loving the Borg reference)

[Gern]

What Borg reference? And who or what is a Borg? I got it from Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz of the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council.

Noooo, but I surely will, thanks Paul!

I'm a collector of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass -a-bilia! Including film adaptations, not just the 50's Disney classic and Tim Burton's version but the first that's over a hundred years old and my favourite is a Czech stop motion production Neco z Alenky (something for Alice) directed the brilliant Jan Svankmajer, Czech weirdness at it's best! (not including 'Valerie and her week of wonders! sheesh!)

Do you have a copy of Lewis Carrolls original manuscript version 'Alice's Adventures Under Ground'? this is the version given to Alice Liddell, it doesn't include the Tea Party and other significant parts of the Macmillan published book, there is only one original copy, I went to see it in the British Library a while back
