| We here at CeliaSays know how important it is that those little known celebrities who are lurking in everyones neighbourhood are recognised, sure TV1�s Mucking in does a fine job at this, but what about those people who don�t have, or even like Gardens? So we have taken it upon ourselves to send DeLunTrash along with TV1�s music journalist Dylan Tate, to go where CeliaSays has never gone before, SUBURBIA. Whether it's Bob who plays trumpet in the Salvation Army marching band, or Mavis who knits scarves for blind lambs, we're ready to drag them out of the woodwork, dust them off, and exhibit them here. And it's lal for you ladies and gentleman, all for you. So withou tfurther ado, may we present, �SUBURBIA SUPERSTARS�! June/July 2002: MRS HILDA FORBES, BELFAST Mrs Hilda Forbes is a credit to Christchurch. Born in 1938, Hilda has spent her life building up collections of what she likes to call her �oodle kaboodles� otherwise known as useless crap. Hilda began her collection at the age of seven, �I collected stones� she said, �On each one, I�d draw a pair of eyes on, and give them a name. I still have, and maintain that collection.� Oh yes she does. Dylan and I were treated to a tour of her humble abode and the �treasures� that lie within. But it�s not only collections that Hilda specialises in. Oh no, among the piles of milk bottle rings, two dollar shop ornaments and paper clip insects lie her seventeen stuffed cats. Everywhere you look the little paws and tails of past cats are sticking out from the McDonalds toy mayhem. Suprisingly, alothough Hilda has no actual living cats, her house still smells of them. Hilda Forbes, you are a true credit to the community. Ka Pai. Hilda enjoying a historical reinactment with caregivers gavin and Pete. If you know of your very own Suburbia Superstar, give us a bell in one of the usual ways, and we�ll see what we can do. Until next time, Ms Louise DeLunTrash Mr. Dylan Tate xxx |
