They were called something else in the UK, maybe Ancient sim or Inge can remember what it was? As I said earlier, I remember my niece having some, around the time she was crazy about Adam and the Ants! They looked really cute with ra-ra skirts!
I'll have to take a look at those dolls! But the teddy I really like is a tatty and obviously well-loved one, but I can't remember where it came from!

I wonder why they didn't make the antenae as an accessory? Surely they could have learned how by now from the modders out there. lol.
They would have actually been usefull then.

The antennae look really cute on the toddlers.
I don't see myself using them on anyone teen or older, though.

I thought they were called Bloody Stupid in the UK but I'll take your word for it. If you find the dolls, please would you post the link (or PM to me). Thanks |

They were called Deely Boppers! I am from the UK....I remember rara skirts too! I had a lovely denim one, and thought I looked the bees knees in it! I was only about 12-13 then  maxon (and anyone else who wants them) here are the links to the dolls I have...the first link is the mesh by Natrobo, but download Numenor's fixed mesh. It is on page 3 (I might have linked to numenors post) The second link are to some gorgeous recolours by tiggerypum http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?p=528042#post528042http://modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=68586 |

Probably this mesh by Natrobo: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=59807(with and without the hat) Natrobo's got a ton of good children's stuff and his whole page is worth looking at :) and recolors by tiggerypum http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=68586If not, well I have those and I think they're great :) There's also a set on TSR that's only decorative but they have a chair and a baby bed and a doll shelf that go with them and they're really cute. Edit: oh, oops, I'm sorry. I shoulda read before I posted :( |

Which part of the UK are you from, Emma? They were definitely called something different in my part of the country! Just wish I could remember what it was!

Richard Lovelace? ("I could not love thee dear so much, loved I not honour more!")
Oh, and the Twelve Days of Christmas and the whole medieval Lord of Misrule came from Saturnalia too! since the ordinary laws, such as they were, did not apply at that time, rape was the order of the day - I somehow think that idea was created by men too!
I've never heard of any of these festivities Luper-whatchamacallit or any of the others (except "the 12 days of Christmas," which I never understood since we really only get one). What are they, and what is this mysterious Saturnalia thing everyone is talking about? I think people who are bitter on Valentine's day would be bitter anyway. My friends and I have been giving each other chocolate and teddybears. I think it is good to have holidays to remember the people we care about, whether they were originally stupid and meaningless or not. On that note, I like the tacky glasses and pajamas. They are amusing. |

Emma, I think I was in primary school when those 'antennas' came out. That's what we called them, although I have vague memories of them making a return when I hit my teens. Then I think we called them "zebedees" after the character in 'The Magic Roundabout". Most things were called 'thingy' back then - as in "you know, that thingy that so-and-so's got". We were very articulate in my neighbourhood, obviously. I think those 'wibbledees' (as in the wibbledee wobbledee thingys) hit the shops after a big campaign for Smash, the processed dried mashed potatoes..mmm yum  . |

"Zebedees"! Of course!
Ellatrue, Saturnalia was a Roman Midwinter Festival in honour of the god Saturn, and never really completely died out (obviously in those dark winter days, especially in this "sceptred isle" people needed some relief from the winter darkness!) and in the Middle Ages became the festival of the "Lord of Misrule" when all laws were suspended. I believe that in the end, because obviously things got very out of hand, and the Church no doubt heartily disapproved, they simply invented the Twelve Days of Christmas to turn the whole thing into a Christian celebration.

Well, my niece is originally from Croydon - no doubt that's where I heard that.
I live in the Midlands too, but Stoke-on-Trent, and I have a feeling the kids I was teaching back then used yet another name!
