Not only that, but it's by your secret twin. You could have written this. Really. <a href="http://magichandsworkshop.blogspot.com/2010/02/hans-christian-andersen-is-bastard.html" rel="nofollow">Hans Christian Andersen is a Bastard</a> Boy, I wish the Preview worked.

He was dressed in a Romeo-looking costume. I went to his website and spent a half hour looking at his photo gallery. Apparently he does some modeling...So handsome and such a wonderful skater... and speaking of gorgeous guys who could figure in a fairy tale…did anyone watch Stephane Lambiel in the men’s Olympic skating on Tuesday night?

In fact, what I see from these is that my old collage is in need of a complete do-over. I’d buy the picture book too. And thanks for showing us the scrapbook, I get so much more out of visuals.

Hmmmm, that's a nice twist (-:. BTW, the crown prince of Japan seems to be a pretty nice guy, but it also seems like he strong-armed the princess into marrying him (well, maybe just guilted her into marrying him? I'm sure he didn't have Security twisting her arm or anything). But, this sort of thing happens in this day and age, and IF the Grand Vizier is actually a "good guy" . . . well, anyway, I see a lot of possibilities here. It should be a lot fun (-:. Hard to get any politician into the "good guy" role, though, eh? So, if I am reading this right, the Grand Vizier isn’t actually, actively evil? Hmmmm, that’s a nice twist (-:.

And I love contemporary versions and retakes on them, because the darkness is explored and even loved. WONDERFUL collages! Effective teasers! I can hardly wait ....

I'm so looking forward to the book that comes from these. :) I'm now considering using some Russian lacquer box art for my collage. It's fairy-tale oriented (which is important) and the colors/vibrancy are inspiring. On a random note, is the guy she chose for the Vilkas page from the BBC's Robin Hood series? Or am I imagining things? As a fairy tale addict, I love this!! I’m so looking forward to the book that comes from these. :)
