I'm a writer, musician & professional vagabond, and often apply those skills to #DoctorWho.

I've written a history of the EDAs, some DWM reviews & interviews with Carole Ann Ford & DW composers for Vworp Vworp! Magazine.

Sometimes I also make musical Who nonsense.

Links in the thread below!

This is "The Truth". I miss her.

(marble sculpture by #Bernini, housed in Rome's Borghese Gallery)
A larger than life (twice the size of an average human), magnificent, realistic marble sculpture of a nude woman beaming confidently upwards. Like she knows something you don't. She holds the sun in her hand.

The chains of St Peter reliquary at the basilica named for them in Rome. Insert two euros and doors open to reveal them. PT Barnum would be proud.
A gold display case on an altar with ancient chains inside of it. In front of it is a machine where you can insert your two euro coin to see it.

I picked up this 1951 Disney comics digest in Italian from a street book vendor in Naples for a very special Disney adult in my life.

"Topolino" is apparently the Italian name for Micky Mouse -- who is seen here smoking a pipe.
