It just occurred to me to remember that, whatever her celebrity, AnneMarie is a human being and a guest in our forums. And many of the issues and concerns on her side have as much validity as those of having issues and conerns on the other. Points well taken on both sides, and I think this topic will continue to linger here. In another year, we'll be amazed at what we are being offered in the way of realistic figures for the hobbyist and professional alike. And the issues of copyright and trademark, both for the celebrity and for the artists, will continue to be problems, as will the cost of replicating real celebrities...what does it cost, what is it worth, and how many rights do we have to someone else's appearance even when it is offered to us for sale? I personally think we're just all going through growing pains. I'm just glad to hear Anna Marie prefers sandals (I hope ones with low heels). Thank makes me (and my feet) feel much better. :) Take care all. And thank you, AnnaMarie, for having the courage to state your case. It's not an easy crowd. But usually something good comes out of all the agonizing. Not always. But usually.
