As some of you may have noticed I have fallen a little behind with the BB scans lately and also the summaries.
Alas, each time I tried to catch up a 40 man brass band surrounded our house and disturbed me...
But now, I have finally finished the scans - almost. ?
You will find the mags I have scanned but not published here below.
As for the summaries. Take a look at the scans and if there is an article you'd really like to read a summary of, just let me know. ?
But let us start with this, pretty remarkable, story.
Summary of article in Billed Bladet #29, 2019.
Writen by Lisbeth Grube.
The personality and dedicated royalist, Jim Lyngvild, has started a project for an exhibition next year on the occasion of QMII turning 80. A four meter high bust of QMII!
Right now he is putting the finishing touches on a 3D model, which will be recreated in full size. (See scans.)
A bust does not smile, points out Jim Lyngvild.
There will be additional 100 busts made from glassfiber, about 70 cm tall, that will be sold for charity.
Apart from that Jim Lyngvild has also made 107 "official" portraits of all QMII's ancestors, and their queens. The models have all been found on Facebook, in order to find someone with the closest resemblance to what we know the previous looked like. All thes portraits, including one of QMII as a young woman, will be published in a book, also by Jim Lyngvild.
He has studied hundreds of photos of QMII (he's a huge fan of her) in order to find just the right expression for the bust:
"It's difficult, because all people have a favorite Margrethe. As an icon she is all ages. We want to get a time-less expression with as great a respect for a totally magical woman as at all possible.
With the bust I have automatically placed my behind in slapping-height, because people have such a love for that woman. But it will be my tribute to the Majesty.
And it's so fun to work on making it happen, that I together with Joachim will also reproduce her oldest son and daughter-in-law." (No further details in the article about that co-operation.)
The book about all Danish Monarchs will be published on 1. October.
"It's the first time in danish history that such a book is being made. Previously there have only been books about the kings and not their wives (formal word), who takes up just as much space in history."
Being a successful designer, he has ensured that the models wear costumes that were in line with period they lived in.

- Wonder what QMII is going to think about all that!

I had there my Daughter's Konfirmation party last year and as a member of the Danish community there I would have a lot of fun!
Such sad news, and kind of HM to send condolences. Is that the same bridge that Frederik's entourage crossed in a storm some time ago?
