This'll give you the creeps. My ex-wife used to collect porcelain dolls and they really were creepy but this is something beyond that... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...mannequins.html?ito=social-twitter_mailonline
That is indeed very creepy but on the plus side I guess it keeps these nutters off the streets if you know what I mean..
Thinking about it, I would quite like a Katie Price replica so that I could punch it at the end of a bad day!
Those Dolls have come a long way since Del Boy was flogging them down the market [video=youtube;zCV6_FKPuKA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCV6_FKPuKA[/video]
I the early 1970's when I worked on a Norwegian registered & crewed seismic survey ship there was always an ongoing joke amongst the mostly English scientific crew as to why the "Scalies" kept so much of this stored in the galley:- please log in to view this image
They're beyond creepy for sure. I'm not sure who's worse though? The lot you've posted or this bunch of weirdos.... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/a...dolls-revealed-new-Channel-4-documentary.html
There's a walk I do regularly where there's an Island lying just a couple of miles out to sea and I recently discovered there was a shipping disaster there 150-odd years ago. A Cutter called RMS Tayleur which was supposed to be heading from Liverpool to Melbourne ran aground there with large loss of life. She's been called the "first Titanic" because she was chartered by the same company, was the biggest British merchant ship in her era and sank on her maiden voyage. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ok-tells-forgotten-story-Tayleur-Tragedy.html Amazing the stuff you can find out about in your own locality. Its always the last place you expect
I had never heard of that sinking - certainly a very sad and compelling story of incompetence and courage by some. Not too far from where I live after a collision the RMS Empress of Ireland sank in the St. Lawrence River near Rimouski, Quebec on 29 May 1914 - of the 1,477 persons on board the ship, 1,012 died. The number of deaths is the largest of any Canadian maritime accident in peacetime. This maritime tragedy occurred shortly before the start of WWI which may explain the lack of later attention to the story. It also occurred relatively close to shore. More passenger lives were lost on the 1914 sinking of the RMS Empress of Ireland than the RMS Titanic. please log in to view this image http://cruiselinehistory.com/more-p...-rms-empress-of-ireland-than-the-rms-titanic/ 'Canada's Titanic' remembered 100 years after St. Lawrence sinking 'Forgotten tragedy' commemoration brings together descendants of Empress of Ireland victims http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montr...100-years-after-st-lawrence-sinking-1.2656923 http://www.cbc.ca/archives/categori...ress-of-ireland-sinks-in-the-st-lawrence.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Empress_of_Ireland please log in to view this image Empress of Ireland please log in to view this image SS Storstad in Montreal after the collision.

Wow. I'd never even heard of that one. Over a thousand dead? Big confusion owing to fog once again. The Nordic collier was the worst possible ship to tear into her side cos she was designed to break through ice. Cut through her like a knife through warm butter. At first glance I would have thought the Storstad and her crew could've rescued more than they did but the ship went down in under 15 minutes which is very quick. Conditions weren't good either. Very interesting Kilburn.
