I feel sorry for this lady because in a decade, she'll certainly be grown out of that phase but, unlike in 'my times' where people would just forget about your more embarrassing periods, or otherwise you could still start a new life in a new town, the blogosphere has exposed this rather benign personality disorder of hers in a way that will brand her for life as the crazy catlady. As to her issue itself: there are I-don't-know-how-many million or billion species in the world, so why a cat and not a deep sea fish or a snail from the rainforest? Yeah, because cats, I get it... Maybe she should see a vet ^^
Could possibly be fun if it was translucent and the whole thing was one big spiral firmly attached to the central pole. Someone would also have to make sure only one person at a time can use the slide.The way it looks on the picture is rather unsettling. I only imagine a group of kids stuck somewhere in the middle of the slide and the trouble it would take to extract them.
Time should be around 1910. At least in Germany, it was quite usual to take photos of kids in fancy disguises. I have a photo from that very same time showing my grandfather and his sister in some folkloristic attire (as gipsies?), another with him as a little sailor on a fake boat coulisse. I think photographers had a great collection of requisites to concurr on the fanciest kid pics. The trapeze artist photo is probably also a make-up, unless it shows the twins actually performing acrobatics.
Love the place on the fotos. It's where I grew up. Most people don't know Brussels has this beautiful Arc of Triumph.
Eric (not Erek) Vekeman is from Zegelsem (Brakel), not Brekel, which is in Belgium, not Germany.
Here the full article from the Belgian press.
I lived in both germany and Belgium and this is *hum* ... rather not the German way ;)
