Some Stuff About Me

Damn it, that's not funny!
copyright L. Mellin, 2008

Welcome to my little humour patch.  "Le Monde" is a loose collection of essays I've written over the past few years about silly and fun things that have very little to do with either costuming or historical re-creation (except when they do).  Relax and enjoy, and try not to get too offended - it's all meant in fun.

Er..., except when it's not.  But you can usually tell.
