"Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood."

I saw this:

and I was pretty freaked out.  Is it just me or is this slightly weird?

The model of the two-month-old baby is in Madame Tussauds in New York.  This is the youngest model to be created at the Times Square museum.  She is laid in a nursery with Mummy and Daddy watching over her.  Visitors can pay to have their picture taken with the family, and $1 will go to children's charity Unicef!  Which is good.....

Janine DiGioacchino, general manager at Madame Tussaud's in New York, said Shiloh was "already an iconic figure in world popular culture".

The figure, described by the museum as having "Mom's signature pouty lips and delicate features" is the museum's first figure without wax.

"Because the baby was so small, we were able to make the entire figure in silicone," said Ms DiGioacchino

Lovely....I still think it's really strange!

Creepy.

Then again, I have an irrational fear of mannequins.

Yep, weird as... '

Does this man even know the meaning of the word 'iconic'? Angelina and Brad might be pop icons but their child hasn't had enough time to cut teeth let alone become anything other than clingy.

Oh, there is definitely an article about this in me somewhere. This is something I've been thinking about for a while. What about those poor kids who are displayed on television in shows such as 'Honey we're killing the kids'? They have no choice in the matter and it usually their parents fault for choosing not to set a good example by eating, drinking etc and allowing their kids to do the same.

Oooo, don't get me started...

I hate programmes like that, I avoid them, otherwise I think I would be off to anger management!  I have to say I can't wait for you to write an article, I keep checking in hope, hehe!
