Vas'ka is sitting on my desk. Under the cat is the Tesco voucher for £6.50 - and behind the cat is my keyboard with numbers and letters.
Happy Caturday!
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!
Kabukichō è un distretto a luci rosse di Tokyo situato all'interno del quartiere speciale di Shinjuku.
Vi è un'alta concentrazione di love hotel, night club, soap land e locali per adulti in genere, ma anche di ristoranti e normalissime attività commerciali, negozi e piccoli uffici di cambiavalute dove è anche possibile acquistare buoni scontati per musei e attrazioni.
Molti gli alberghi in questa zona, fra cui il noto Hotel Gracery, situato nello Shinjuku Toho Building, è famoso per ospitare una gigantesca testa di Godzilla (Godzilla Head, inaugurata nell'aprile del 2015) che si sporge dalla Terrazza situata all'ottavo piano e che, una volta ogni ora, sprigiona vapori e si accende di luci.
Kabukichō è gestito principalmente dalla yakuza, che controlla i locali, tra i quali si trovano anche sale per giocare a pachinko, e si occupa della sicurezza del quartiere, rendendolo così una zona sicura.
Con gli anni alla yakuza si è affiancata la Triade cinese.
Kabukichō is a Tokyo red-light district located within the Shinjuku special ward.
There is a high concentration of love hotels, night clubs, soap lands and clubs for adults in general, but also restaurants and normal commercial activities, shops and small bureaux de change where it is also possible to purchase discounted vouchers for museums and attractions.
Many hotels in this area, including the well-known Hotel Gracery, located in the Shinjuku Toho Building, is famous for hosting a gigantic Godzilla head (Godzilla Head, inaugurated in April 2015) which protrudes from the terrace located on the eighth floor and which, once an hour, releases vapors and lights up.
Kabukichō is mainly managed by the yakuza, who control the premises, which also include pachinko rooms, and take care of the safety of the neighborhood, thus making it a safe area.
Over the years, the Chinese Triad has joined the yakuza.

Cashout vouchers in Black and White from gaming machines because they are in Black and White. What is left after a couple of hours or minutes. While there are penny machines you have to go by the lines bet also. Twenty lines @ 1¢ adds up to 20¢ a spin on the slots. #Minimum #CashoutVoucher #Gambling #HFF #FlickrFriday #souvenirs #casinos #B&W #BlackAndWhite #賭事 #bw
No messing about this time with fancy vouchers for fancy food in fancy restaurants. If food were football formations this would be a no nonsense 4-4-2 featuring two full backs sporting prison haircuts and a pair of centre halves the size of shire horses with keenly sharpened size fourteen boots. Behind them, a goalkeeper that bears an uncanny resemblance to a bulldozer with shovel-like hands to match. None of your tika taka interchangeable diamonds in the midfield - just a pair of ferocious terriers flying into tackles - that sort of thing. On the wings, a couple of turbo charged whippets with blinkers on and an over reliance on either the left or right peg, depending upon which side of the pitch they’re stationed. Up front, a hefty lump with a prodigious leap, several missing teeth and a forehead shaped like an industrial steam iron. Just behind him, the only one who can actually play football, a Will O’ the Wisp waif whose job it is to dance through the opposition and give the ball to the big lad.
Yes, today we weren’t going anywhere near the upmarket open wallet surgery establishments designed to empty the pockets of wandering tourists in Mousehole or elsewhere. The Morrison’s cafe in Long Rock, a mile east of Penzance awaited our pleasure with its cordon bleu fish and chips covered in a healthy splat of tartare sauce, accompanied by a pot of tea - free refills on hot drinks if you didn’t know. Who needs filet mignon covered in pomegranate seeds and a glass of the ‘72 Chablis when you can have a full size plate of proper grub that’s been prepared by the good fryers of Morrison’s kitchen? Meerkat discount, that’s twenty-five percent off by the way. Two plates of decent nosh and a bottomless pot of tea for twelve quid. Last week we could barely get one starter for twelve quid when we finally used that voucher over at Gurnard’s Head. There’s no denying the quality of the food we had, but fine dining is for people with overflowing bank accounts and cultured palates.
And do you know what? The fish fryer at our chosen establishment does a fine job. Even Ali’s eighty-seven year old mother gushes with praise about the Morrison’s cafe at Long Rock, and she’s notoriously hard to please when it comes to eating out. In those fancy places we’re always on edge, convinced we’re being frowned upon by the waiting staff and our fellow diners, even though it’s probably just our imagination. Here, if you thank the team and tell them how much you enjoyed the fish, it really does seem to make them happy. Our standard tactic, made all the easier by our frankly slovenly attitude to mornings, is to arrive after two thirty, long after the lunchtime rush has been cleared from the tables and settle in for an hour or so, enjoying the peace. This works all the better in the summer months when you’re not in an enormous hurry to get to where you’re bound for. Sunset after nine - there’s really no need to rush.
And where weren’t we rushing to this afternoon you ask? Today we were going “down west” as we call it here, to the wilds of Penwith. A mini Dartmoor-on-Sea with ponies grazing among swathes of bracken, heather and gorse. Only once before had we parked at the old Carn Galver tin mine, and I’d been planning to go back ever since. On that afternoon we traced the natural coastal fortress of Bosigran Head, before following the footpath towards Porthmeor Cove and then back again via the quiet coast road, meeting small groups of ponies as we went. What we hadn’t done that day was to head inland and up the slopes towards the rocky tors of Carn Galver itself. From here, across a field of purple heather that glowed in soft summer sunlight, a series of headlands that ended with Pendeen Lighthouse disappeared into a dreamy blown out haze. And from that moment the deal was done. I’d come here to photograph Bosigran Head at sunset, but instead I’d be yomping up here again later with the camera bag. Ali declared she’d done enough yomping today and would watch the sunset from the van, so I returned alone. I had the place completely to myself. Well, apart from the steady chomping and the occasional whinny from our equine friends as they stomped about the bracken enjoying their own version of fine dining.
After all was done, another gastronomic delight awaited me in the van. Eggy bread and a can of Brewdog Session IPA from the fridge. A very happy ending to this series of tales on the subject of dining out. It doesn’t get more comforting than eggy bread dipped in the contents of a sachet of brown sauce - which was liberated from Morrison’s at lunchtime of course. A fine way to end a day of food and cultural enrichment at the edge of the world in West Cornwall.
Ali was starting to feel the pressure. As far as she knew, the voucher code only had seven days left before it would expire in a puff of smoke, having been issued fifty-one weeks earlier. Last month’s abortive attempt to use it in Mousehole hung heavily in the air. We’d used a brief spell of drizzle as a good excuse to enjoy a far more relaxed version of lunch at the nearest Morrison’s cafe instead, before carrying on as planned, walking to Lamorna along the coast path and returning via the inland route. If you read the last story, you’ll know how that went. But now we were in a race against time. A few more days of procrastinating and the organisation would be laughing into their cash registers as another voucher expired without seeing action. We’re not into fine dining - far too fussy for us simple Redruth folk. And then there’s that twelve and a half percent “discretionary” service charge that gets automatically added to the bill. I’m sure there are kevlar skinned diners who are bold enough to demand its removal without batting an eyelid, but we really don’t like to make a scene.
But six weeks later, with just a couple of days to go until the schools broke, it was a case of now or never. This time we decided to abandon Mousehole completely and head for the sister pub that sits along the narrow meandering road between St Ives and St Just. It's wild, rugged, horrible to drive, and would be undoubtedly even more testing in a few days from now once the schools were out and the annual invasion snowballed into saturation mode, polyester Manchester United shirts, tattoos, orange bottle tans and all. And that’s just the Camborne lot. After a period of squeezing past oncoming cars and sitting patiently behind cyclists while our stomachs began to rumble, we saw the unmistakable mustard coloured building standing alone at the roadside in the landscape before us. Just a few more minutes. Although Ali insisted we needed to check the voucher code was still valid before our lunchtime order was placed. Any funny business and we’d be doubling back to St Ives for a sandwich, with the towering bonus of fish and chips at Becks in Carbis Bay much later.
The voucher was still valid. Lunch would be here in the big yellow shack at Gurnard Manning’s Head after all. It would be an expensive one, but we’d only be paying half the bill, thanks to last year’s birthday present from Ali’s niece and that long string of alphanumeric text that had to be typed into the till for validation. For the record, the food was as good as the eye watering prices suggested it might be, although portion sizes tended towards the nouvelle cuisine end of the scale. We really should have ordered a side of chips. Ali breathed a sigh of relief. That voucher had been hanging over her like the Sword of Damocles for almost a year. When we win the lottery we might go again, but until then we’ll stick with Morrison’s cafe thank you. We know where we are with them.
And now lunch was over, we headed down to the headland that the pub takes its name from. Just a few windswept hikers here on this peaceful Thursday afternoon. A few miles to the east St Ives was no doubt chock-a-block with sightseers, few of whom would ever venture in this direction. No amusement arcades or ice cream parlours here you know. No pasty vendors and no boat trips to Godrevy or the mysterious “Seal Island” either. Just the coast path, some noisy squeezebox choughs and a lot of bracken along these cliffs above a crystal blue sea. Down on the lonely beach at Treen Cove we could see a couple of people heading into the water for a swim. An angler perched on the far edge of the rocks, competing for the spoils of the sea with a small trawler that puttered idly between two sets of marker buoys. And apart from us and the odd passing walker, nobody else was here at all. In the middle of July. You can still find solitude here in high summer if you know where to look.
It’s not the sort of beach you’re going to bring the kids and your Great Auntie Nellie to. A steep path down through the bracken to the top of the rocks, from where you clamber even lower to the edge of a field of slippery green boulders. Pick the wrong time and you’ll be waiting for the tide to ebb before you can leave. But slowly we made our way down onto the soft white sands. I’d love to tell you that the sea was cool and refreshing, but that would be a lie. Ali lasted five minutes, while I managed about ninety seconds before announcing I was getting out. Enough to get “the tingle” that my cold water loving children are both forever harping on about.
And then back up the rocks, to a grassy flat area in front of an abandoned stone ruin where I finally found the separation I needed for this shot to have a chance of working. Higher up and the big lump at the back sat uncomfortably close to the horizon. Further down and the two groups merged into confusion. To our left a woman sat alone with a pad of paper and watercolours, painting Gurnard’s Head, lost in her art. A vision of serenity, we left her alone as I pointed my camera in the opposite direction. Not for the first time this summer it was a brand new composition that I’d never even seen before, hidden in plain sight on the tourist trail just a few miles from St Ives. Without that voucher we probably wouldn’t have come here at all. Although we’d need to stop at Marks and Spencer to trawl the reductions section for supper later. Nouvelle cuisine isn’t really designed for people with rustic appetites, you see.

Brockholes is a new kind of nature reserve, an unreserved reserve owned and managed by The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside.
There's lots to see and do at Brockholes, you can hunt out our floating Visitor Village with a restaurant, shops and Welcome Centre or explore our family-friendly hides, walking trails and play area.
At Brockholes you can explore our beautiful reserve, see the wildlife that call it ‘home’ or hunt out our Visitor Village with restaurant and shops, all of which float (yes really!) on one of our lakes.
Our floating Visitor Village features a gift shop and a restaurant providing stunning views across the lake. You can also discover our interactive Welcome Centre and learn all about the wildlife that you could see on-site. Be sure to call in to pick up a welcome leaflet that will help you plan your day. You can view the reserve map in our Welcome Leaflet here to help you plan your first visit.
2013/14 Opening Times:
4th November 2013 to 31 March 2014 10am-4pm
1st April 2014 to 31st October 2014 10am-5pm
Closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day only
Car Park Charges
We don't charge for entry and any profits made here go back into looking after the reserve. So every time you pay for parking, treat yourself in the shop or enjoy some lunch, you are helping look after the reserve and the wildlife that visits us!
Sorry no dogs allowed!
There is a good reason! Dogs can disturb wildlife, especially nesting birds. If your dog was to get too close to a nesting bird it would cause the mother to leave the nest. So to avoid any accidents we ask that you don’t bring your dog. (Assistance dogs are welcome.)
Explore the reserve
Brockholes is one of the best sites in the UK for many species of bird and has one of the largest strips of ancient woodland in the county. You can take a stroll by the River Ribble, explore our woods or enjoy the lakes on site, which have all been specially designed to attract all kinds of wildlife for you to see!

Read about the happy habitats we've been working hard to create at Brockholes.
Watch out!
The Visitor Village floats on water and there are lots of areas of open water on the reserve. Take care in these areas and keep an eye on any children with you. The following activities are not allowed on the reserve:
Barbecues and fires
Fishing
Swimming
Please do not feed the birds
Big gulls know it’s much easier to find food when we leave it lying around rather than finding their own lunch. Here at Brockholes we have lots of species breeding with us, little ringed and ringed plover, lapwing, oystercatcher and redshank. Unfortunately the big gulls will eat the chicks of these special birds so if we feed the gulls and encourage them to stay there is a big chance that they will eat our important chicks, so please do not feed the birds and take your leftover picnic away with you.
www.brockholes.org/our-journey
The Lancashire Wildlife Trust has been working on developing Brockholes for nearly 20 years, here is an overview of our journey.
1992 Lancashire Wildlife Trust first contests the quarrying of Brockholes.
27 November 2006 The Lancashire Wildlife Trust has four weeks to raise £50,000 to buy the Brockholes site, near Preston, and protect it from development. Brockholes sits next to J31 of the M6 and is the size of 120 football pitches.
15 January 2007 The Lancashire Wildlife Trust makes the biggest land purchase in its history - thanks to donations from Wildlife Trust members, and an investment of £800,000 from the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) under the Newlands scheme. The project to buy and develop Brockholes is also supported by The Tubney Charitable Trust.
3 May 2007 Ian Selby is appointed as Brockholes project manager. Ian has 20 years' experience of managing the North West's canal network for British Waterways, followed by environmental regeneration work. Sophie Leadsom, Brockholes' new reserve manager, has worked in conservation for 14 years.
July 2007 The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) announced the launch of a new open competition to design new visitor facilities.
5 October 2007 The Lancashire Wildlife Trust announced the shortlist for the new multi-million pound visitor centre. 61 architects from all over Europe submitted designs. The five were Adam Khan Architects, Arca, Architecture 2B, AY Architects, McDowell + Benedetti.
25 February 2008 The Lancashire Wildlife Trust (LWT) and partners announce the winner of its competition to design a visitor facility. Adam Khan Architects was selected for its inspirational design concept: "A Floating World". Designed as a cluster of buildings constructed largely of wood and other sustainable materials, it resembles an ancient marshland village.
April 2008 The Lancashire Wildlife Trust announced the completion of its first phase of preparatory work, including the restoration of the wetlands, creation of ponds, seeding of meadows, planting new hedgerows and trees, making access paths and building proper bird watching hides.
March 2009 The Lancashire Wildlife Trust secured £8million of funding from the North West Regional Development Agency (NWDA). The investment was made under ‘Newlands’, a NWDA and Forestry Commission programme that is regenerating brownfield land across the Northwest into economically viable community woodland.
Summer 2009 Volunteers gave us 134 hours of their time to help propagate our own reed seedlings on-site. We ended up with 20,000 new redd seedlings ready to plant out around our new visitor centre, creating two hecatres of brand new reedbed.
August 2009 The Lancashire Wildlife Trust were granted detailed planning permission for the site.
December 2009 Contractors first day of work as they begin to construct the iconic floating visitors centre. Press conference being held with a ‘cutting of the first sod’
November 2010 A herd of longhorn cattle move into Brockholes to graze the reserve.
December 2010 BBC Countryfile fronted by Julia Bradbury visit Brockholes to film a feature that airs in January 2011.
March 2011 Brockholes makes history as the Visitor Village is floated for the first time.
Easter Sunday 2011 Brockholes opens its doors to the public for the first time!

Happy habitats at Brockholes
The Lancashire Wildlife Trust are using their expertise to create habitats that will encourage lots of different species to visit the site, read more about the work we are doing on the reserve...
Number 1 Pit
Uniform and steep, the edges around the original gravel pit used to look very different. The island looked different too – an egg-shaped piece of land sticking out of the water by three metres. These land profiles weren’t great for the bird species and aquatic invertebrates we wanted to attract. So, with bulldozer and digger we pushed earth into the lake to create shallow, underwater ledges and peninsulas where birds can roost and feed, safe from predators. Diving ducks, such as Great Crested Grebe, now hunt for fish in the deep water.
Nook Pool
The edge of this pool has been planted with reed to create places for small fish and aquatic invertebrates like dragonfly larvae to hide and grow, away from predator fish. The shelter provided by the vegetation provides an ideal hunting ground for lots of species of dragonfly including the impressive Brown Hawker and Emperor Dragonfly.
Meadow Lake
This shallow lake is great for bird watching: when the water level is down, wading birds feed on small invertebrates in the exposed mud. This lake has some of the richest water plant life in and around it, including White Water Lily and Cuckooflower. The reed fringes are becoming well established and hold some of the largest populations of birds on site. The islands provide safe roosting and breeding areas, we keep the vegetation short so the birds can watch out for predators.
Boilton Marsh
This area is part of our newly created wet grassland habitat. We remodelled 17,000 cubic metres of quarry spoil to create 10 hectares of wet grassland with nearly 2km of channels and five pools. This is the ideal habitat for breeding wading birds such as Lapwing, Redshank and Snipe. We now graze traditional breeds of cattle and sheep that thrive on the coarse grasses and rushes and provide the low grassland sward that encourages wading birds to nest.
The channels and pools are kept topped up by using a high-level reservoir, filled from Number One Pit by way of a solar pump.
Woodland
Brockholes is fringed by the ancient woodland of Boilton, Red Scar and Tunbrook Woods. Woodland has grown here for thousands of years and developed a very rich variety of wildlife. Looking after our trees and paths will help the woodland to thrive and enable you to see the wildlife safely.
Reedbeds
Reedbeds are home to Sedge Warblers, Reed Warblers, Reed Buntings and Water Rail. We protect the new reed from grazing birds like Coot, Mute Swan and Canada Goose, by erecting chicken wire fences and baling string barriers. It will take several years before our lak fringes start to look like reedbeds. You might notice that the Visitor Village has been nestled in reedbed. This helps it to blend into the reserve and allows you to hear the song and chatter of the birds that nest there.
www.brockholes.org/brockholes-partners-and-funders
Brockholes partners and funders
For the past ten years, The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside have been working to secure this site of national environmental importance, and restore habitats to their full potential.
The £8.6 million of regeneration funding was provided for the Brockholes Wetland and Woodland Reserve project has been granted under 'Newlands' - a £59 million, Northwest Regional Development Agency and Forestry Commission programme to transform brownfield land into durable community woodland, which act as catalysts for economic, social and environmental gain.
The Lancashire Environmental Fund awarded £446,000 for the development of the education facilities, hides and infrastructure on the site. Tubney Charitable Trust granted £350,000 for Biodiversity and Natural England DEFRA's Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund awarded circa. £300,000. The Environment Agency granted £50,000 for the continued development of Brockholes.
The support of these funders helped make Brockholes a reality, as did the amazing support from our public appeal, which raised an amazing £63,000 - the most successful public appeal the Lancashire Wildlife Trust has ever run!

The Lancashire Wildlife Trust attraction attracted 185,000 people to its nature reserve and the first ever floating visitor village in the UK, last year. It is looking to top that visitor figure this year.
Just off the M6 at Preston and easily accessible from anywhere in the UK, Brockholes has received more than 30 regional and national awards despite only opening in 2011. Visitors continue to pour in despite the reserve being surrounded by the attractions of Manchester, Blackpool and Liverpool.
The business has shown year-on-year growth and, as a result, is seeking commercial partners for the next phase of development.
Anne Selby, Chief Executive of the Wildlife Trust said “Brockholes has performed incredibly well despite being launched in a recession. We have steered the business through the stormy weather and achieved fantastic results.
“We are now looking to move into the next phase of development. As a conservation charity, we want to ensure our focus remains on the nature conservation of the reserve, whilst ensuring the commercial income supports this work. We are looking for expressions of interest at this stage and asking businesses to be creative with their proposals.”
The Visitor Village has a restaurant, shops, conference centre, welcome centre and education centre. Major companies have made use of the conference centre including RBS and Aldi. The surrounding nature reserve is continuing to grow, with an increasing population of resident creatures and rare visitors like red kite, bittern and otter.
Anne continued: “Brockholes received funding for the initial start up and development phases but it was always designed to be a self-sustaining model. By making the most of the commercial opportunities and keeping these balanced carefully with the needs of nature, we believe we can continue to success of Brockholes into the future and achieve even more fantastic results for wildlife, our wide range of visitors and the tourism economy”.
Opportunities include retail, water sports (non-motorised), indoor play provision, events partners and mobile food concessions. However, the Trust is open to hear if any investors would wish to develop sympathetic commercial facilities on the site.

Embedded galleries within a gallery on various aspects of Photography:
We celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied and multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
We want to thank you for your interest in our work and thanks for visiting our work on Flickr, we do appreciate you and the contributions you make in furthering our interest in photography and on social media in general.

Voucher for up to $50 towards uber which we accepted online not wanting to miss the only train to Riverside at 1920!
Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx
We had a 5 day break away in Newcastle at Easter! It was fantastic. We always love Newcastle and it certainly didn't disappoint!
First night out we went to a bar below the hotel called Ovens and Shakers where we had a cocktail (I had a mocktail, non-alcoholic). On the alcoholic cocktails it's 2 for the price of 1 so Gemma had 2!
Then we went on to Time Square where there was a pop-up bar in the square itself which was amazing! And we got vouchers for free drinks too!
Afterwards we went on to The Bank which was pretty empty at the time, but we got to meet the lovely drag queen Miss Dixie Swallows (lol) who also DJs in Rusty's, our fave Newcastle bar.
After The Bank we went to Rusty's to finish the night off where we met a group of lovely girls who had spotted us earlier at the Central Park outisde bar.
A fantastic night!

Elisabeth Dee "Betsy" DeVos /dəˈvɒs/ (née Prince; born January 8, 1958) is an American businesswoman, philanthropist, and activist who is the 11th and current United States Secretary of Education.
DeVos is a member of the Republican Party known for her advocacy of school choice, school voucher programs, charter schools, and ties to the Reformed Christian community. She was Republican National Committeewoman for Michigan from 1992 to 1997 and served as chairwoman of the Michigan Republican Party from 1996 to 2000, with reelection to the post in 2003. DeVos has been an advocate of the Detroit charter school system and she is a member of the board of the Foundation for Excellence in Education. She has served as chairwoman of the board of Alliance for School Choice and Acton Institute and heads the All Children Matter PAC.

The voucher card for the Limited Edition Aurora 17'' Doll. I got it when I purchased the pre-order for the doll in my local Disney Store on Monday July 27, 2014. It has changed design from a folding card with a pocket for the paper voucher, to a stiff card to which the voucher was to be stapled. There is still a full color photo of the doll on the front of the card. The store couldn't print out the paper voucher, so stapled the receipt instead. The voucher card and receipt are to be brought back to the same store on or after Oct 7, to get the doll herself. Hopefully they will let me keep the voucher card, but we will see.

Behind the Disney Store registers, after I bought my Jasmine doll and Aladdin tsum tsums. Unused LE Jasmine voucher cards and line cards. Store lighting.
I got to a local mall about 7:40 am, and went to the Disney Store to wait for it to open at 10 am. They had the display Jasmine doll and a promo placard on a shelf behind the counter, and bins full of Aladdin tsums on the floor behind the counter. There was already a man and his young daughter in line ahead of me. They were waiting for the Aladdin tsum tsums, and didn't know about the Jasmine doll. The next person in line was with a friend, and worked at Disneyland. He was also there for the tsums, and didn't know anything about the doll. But he was curious, and after talking to him about the LE doll line, he decided to get one for a "friend." LOL. Later a fellow collector that I knew joined the line, and we chatted for awhile. Then a regular at the LE doll releases and his family came and we also chatted. He was very surprised by how many people were there, but was relieved when he found out that almost all of them were for the tsum tsums. The line was getting very long. Security came around 9:30 and told us to stand up.
At about 9:45 a CM came out and told us the ground rules for the release. Then she gave out line cards for Jasmine. They had 20 dolls, and she gave out 16 cards to those waiting. Naturally, I was #1. Right after the opening ceremony, we formed two lines. One was strictly for tsum tsums (which was where the original line was at). The other, much shorter line was for the Jasmine dolls, and we could also order Aladdin tsum tsums at the same time. I got my doll, and the CM never asked me for the line card. This the first line card I've been allowed to keep. Afterwards I was allowed to take photos of the doll. But it was very cramped behind the registers, and I didn't want to get in the way, so I only took a couple of photos.
I then went to another local Disney Store, and was lucky enough to get another Jasmine, for a fellow collector. They had 16 dolls, and sold 8 of them before I got there. I also took some photos of the doll, using flash this time, as there were annoying shadows across Jasmine's face.
My pre-order voucher and voucher holder for the Limited Edition 17'' Ariel doll. Between October 1 and December 31, 2013 I am to go back to the same Disney Store and present the voucher and proof of identity in order to get my doll.
My haul of new The Little Mermaid merchandise by the Disney Store, on July 29, 2013. Includes the pre-order of the Limited Edition 17'' Ariel doll and Diamond Edition TLM, lithograph set, plush dolls, and jewelry. More detailed shots coming soon.
