Virtual jobseekers, virtual jobsearch cartoon ; Big Brother 2013 Jobwatch
Notes : Story behind the workman's boot - a classmate of mine had asked the secretary of Job Club for a pair of steel capped workman's boots for his bin man induction day and ended up being given soft plastic shoes instead. My experience of Job Club was one of overcrowding, of computer wires dangling from a hole in the corner of the room and of not enough seats for bums. Click on pic to enlarge.

Jobseeker Cartoon 2 ; Tick Box Exercise ; On The Government Work Programme
Drawn on 27 March 2013. I prefer the old terminology ie, 'job club' to the new stuff, ie, 'skills conditionallity' and 'The Government Work Programme'. The Cyber Mermaid is attending a college for 8 weeks since the first week of signing on. There is alot of ticking of boxes and the signing and dating of every sheet of paper used.

Marilyn Monroe collection of clothes at Christie's auction house, London 1999
I was looking through old photos recently and came across a wallet of pics that I had taken of the Marilyn Monroe collection of clothes, toys and other memorabilia displayed and / or sold at Christie's auction house in London September 1999. Seeing that I am currently selling vintage clothes online I thought I might as well post these as they may be of interest to either Marilyn Monroe fans or vintage clothes lovers.
