present to past



































Yesterday I found this old polaroid picture of me. I'm 11 years old and dressed as Pippi Longstocking. I totally forgot about that and that I loved to have my hair that way. It's my own hair and my mother did a great job creating it. Nobody was allowed to touch it or even come near me. Now I know were the inspiration for my drawings comes from...

  3. Alaaf! Wat leuk, ben ik ook ooit geweest. Een paar jaar geleden zag ik een groep verkleed als Pipi. Jong en oud, man en vrouw, iedereen met dezelfde pruik en zo. Ik wens je een fijne carnaval.

  8. Céline, that pic of you is magic. So is the fact, that you have forgotten about it and still returned to Pippi. Love that!

  9. Oh it's great! And as Annton said, the fact that you didn't remember it just adds more magic!

    I had a guinea pig named after Pippi's monkey, but that's not quite the same :)
