  1. Wonderful photos of a wonderful family! But I don't understand one of the ballet-costumes. It is "Nutcracker", I think. Why the grey stains on the Mouseking? Is it mildewed?

    1. Well, well like humans mice come along with various skin.

    2. The ballet scene seems to me as the famous Andersen fairy tale: The Unshakeable Lead Soldier. The author is Danish. In the story the toy lead soldier is thrown out because he misses one leg. I think the black half of the trousers symbolises this.

    3. phzs, thank you very much for this information! I thought the ballet is E.T.A. Hoffmanns Nutcracker, but of course a danish fairytale makes much more sense here! I've looked it up in Wikipedia, because I don't know so much about Andersen. I only knew his sad story about the little girl with the matches (I'm sure you know, what I mean). Are all fairytales of Andersen so sad?

  4. A wonderful outfit on Queen Margrethe, such great tailoring, a subtle mix of textures, and a bit of Christmas spirit with the red jacket and blouse. Josephine looks completely adorable. This appears to have been a very happy event for all concerned.
