messing around with dolls

those dollmaker things, at any rate.

found the one I used a few years ago (check the tag) to make the closest approximation to me, and rather interested to see precisely how much of the fashions were pretty much unusable - all in fashion for a few years ago, but you wouldn't see anyone with shoes/that cut of t-shirt etc now. The non-boot shoes were a really hard part, with only one pair of sandals that's even close to the current styles. This is a rambly way of saying I spent a few hours last night messing around with dolls.

me in what i was wearing yesterday, except the vest is a bit more cropped.

me in one of my work outfits last week.

And now i'm going to tescos to get pizza, then repeat the pattern of this weekend - cycle down to river, paddle, get an icecream, laze in sun.

Doctor Who was awesomecakes. sofa was hidden behind, and I wished to hug Rory. i think this may be a theme this series. Matt Smith going cold and calculating, please do that again.

american teen british visits in films

Or rather, how is that so many of these involve accidentally bumping into one of the Royal family and the royal personage ends up thinking that they're charming, funny and they totally get on?

Cue every UK person going 'er, WTF?'
Mostly because we are learned of things called security and access. And vetting.
The only British book I can think of that has something even vaguely similar in it is The BFG, and that's because giant invisible giant. And that has security issues.

Can anyone think of a British film or book that has such a situation?
