"By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show."

~Samuel Johnson


Will Smith and I, chilling at Baker Street. =)

On Friday, my friend Emily and I went to Madame Tussuad's, the famous wax museum set up by the French wax sculptor, Marie Tussaud. During the French Revolution, Tussuad would search through the corpses to find the decapitated heads of prominent executed citizens, from which she would make death masks.

In 1802, she went to London and she traveled throughout Great Britain and Ireland exhibiting her collection. From 1831 she took a series of short leases on the "Baker Street Bazaar." This became Tussaud's first permanent home in 1836, and Madame Tussaud's wax museum is still there to this day, although it now contains a few more contemporary (and living) wax figurines.

Now...don't get me wrong. I am loving the London pictures, and fully expect to "get" to see the other 1,000 I'm sure you've taken, but...excuse me. You have been in Ireland for nearly a week now, and not a single picture of my old haunts or adorable children. Get with it, girl! (By the way, sorry to hear you are sick. Feel better!)

Love and hugs and kisses, dearie girlie!

I'm getting to it, I had to finish up my London pictures first, now if you are very nice, and polite, and say please (and later Thank You) I just might post pictures of the adorable children and pretty pretty Ireland. But none of Cormac, because he is to much of a bugger to let me take pictures of him. Little poop boot, thats what he is. =)
