I have always loved Marilyn Monroe.
So sad. Such a tragic loss. [img][/img]

My late husband had it hanging behind his desk in his office. He was truly the "young man in the 22nd row".

But my favorite is the black and white 40" x 40" size, mounted floating over a creamy colored mat board, in a deep, but plain black frame.

It's a lovely picture. Norma Jean had beautiful skin.

I thought wombats were bigger than that (unless this is a baby). How very cute. Now I want one.

UPDATE 28th Feb 2013:
Since this video got some more attention lately, a few words about what you see here: Douglas is an orphaned Wombat who was taken care of at a school camp (where we have been WWOOFing) near Tallangatta in Victoria, Australia.
This video is 3 years old so he was just a little baby there! He was meant to be released into the wild someday but since it´s been a long while ago I lost touch with the family who runs the camp...but since I got so many comments and views and watched this video again, I´m really curious what Douglas´ life turned out to be!
He was the best experience I´ve ever had with an animal!
He once sat himself down in his own (very green) poo and had this nasty little stain on his butt...hahaha...he was just too funny!
I fucking miss that fella!!!

Gingers have souls!!! Even the Austrian ones!

Cheers
