Karen Gillan's powers extend beyond being able to thwart aliens and grapple with the theories of time travel. She is an idol to teenage girls, an object of desire to male Whovians and an exemplary fashion muse, courted by designers and the makers of luxury handbags, and con-sidered only marginally less influential than fellow celebrity clotheshorses Alexa Chung and the Duchess of Cambridge.

Well, I went up to Massachusetts, to Brimfield, which I guess holds the title as the World's Premier Outdoor Antique Show. I actually have a had a better one day pillage at Metrolina, in Charlotte, but Brimfield goes on for four days (actually longer, but for four serious days) and so what you don't find one day, you find the next. I didn't get a lot of great photos, but I think this one qualifies. I've changed (well, the change is mixed up, and now it needs to go in the oven) my collecting philosophy. I'm going to have to start selling some photos (NOT THIS ONE). The only way I can really sell anything is if it is good enough to be something I want for myself. So a fair amount of what I bought at Brimfield was bought with that forethought: I really like this (i.e., whatever photo I have in hand) but I'm going to sell it, not possess it. Of course, this photo was different. The seller was from Ohio, but the photo is from Wellsboro, Pennsylvania. The seller wanted $28 for the photo; I asked him what his bottom line was and he said $20. I handed him twenty dollars---I couldn't believe the photo was still sitting out in his booth---my hotel had failed to get me a wake-up call that morning, and I was a little late getting to the show, after some serious speeding down the Massachusetts Turnpike. I haven't googled Wellsboro---okay, I just did. Wellsboro is out in the hinterlands of Pennsylvania, that great empty middle of the state, up near the border with New York. I feel kind of lost in Pennsylvania---it feels empty and forlorn and abandoned, but without the mystery of the Smokies or the Ozarks. Anyway, it's a wonder that out there in that nothingness existed Mabelle, with her clear-eyed confidence, her let-me-play-you-a-tune-to-further-seduce-you look about her. "Compliments of Mabelle" is written on the back of the photo. I hope that that is Mabelle's own hand. What tune she was about to play I know not---I'll have to do some further research. My internet connection has been on the blink, for those of you concerned about my whereabouts. I also am reevaluating my policy about what I'm going to post on Flickr. In a couple of cases (that I am aware of) individuals have used (or I can guess that they've used) my photos without my permission. No one has successfully defined, to my satisfaction, what the rights are of an owner of an anonymous image. Let me just say---if you own the negative of this image, or you own a copy of the image itself, use it all you want. If all you have is a digital copy of my image, you do not have my permission to do anything with it, unless you ask. For those of you who might be interested in seeing what I'm selling (on Ebay), the answer is, not yet. However, if you can find mrwaterslide on flickr, you can find mrwaterslide on Ebay. This photo, by the way, is the month's entry in Mrwaterslide's Monthly Magazine, the issue of which is late this month, but I've been on vacation, so what.
