    *** HEADLINESimpsons superfan, who hid room full of expensive memorabilia from dates, now shows it off to 40,000 TikTok followersSUMMARYMichael Irving, 35, thinks his collection is worth over £8,000.BODYA Simpsons superfan, who has an entire room dedicated to the cartoon’s memorabilia and shares videos of his collection to his 40,000 followers on TikTok, says he has so much merchandise that he would hide it from dates if they ever came over.Michael Irving, 35, a journalist from Melbourne, Australia, has watched early episodes of the show over 50 times and thinks his current collection – including stuffed toys, ceramic figures and mugs – is worth at least £8,000 (15,000).Before meeting his partner, he hid the collection from any dates or had to seriously prepare them for the extent of his hobby – but his current partner is a fellow Simpsons fan, and they love watching the show together.Michael began collecting The Simpsons merchandise in high school over 20 years ago and continued throughout university, saying: “Even back then, I was known as Simpsons Mick because of my obsession.”He has a sentimental attachment to the television show, saying: “It’s kind of a cultural touchstone for my generation, specifically.“I remember it being a big part of my childhood and even into the uni age. You appreciate it at different levels, at different ages.“It works well for kids, and once you become an adult, you start to identify with Homer and Marge more than you would say, Bart.”Explaining why he collects The Simpsons memorabilia, Michael said: “There was just so much merchandise to collect. You can get a variety of items, essentially.“So if I was collecting Pez dispensers, they kind of all look the same.“Whereas, if you’re collecting something as broad as the Simpsons, you’ve got Pez dispensers, but also stuffed toys, mugs, glasses, figurines, DVDs, videos, cassettes, records, Lego, collected coins, ceramic figures.”Michael’s loved ones ar *** Local Caption *** 41111413

    SCHICKSALE - Jetzt fühlt sich Phillis wohl: Phillip Rolli ändert im Alter von 69 Jahren sein Geschlecht
    A selfie of Phillis taken in January 2023 (Collect/PA Real Life) *** Transitioning aged 69 shows 'it’s never too late to be happy', says ex-hairdresser after lifetime hiding her identityEleanor Fleming, PA Real Life A former hairdresser who has transitioned to be female at almost 70 years old after a lifetime considering suicide “every single day” as she tried to hide her true identity has said “it’s never too late to be happy”.Phillis Rolli, 69, who worked as a successful hairdresser for 45 years and now lives in Seattle, USA, said she "knew she should have been a girl” when she was just five years old.One day, Phillis said her father caught her dressing in girls’ clothing and “got very physical” with her, making her understand that “this was a very bad thing to ever tell anybody” - so she kept quiet, “pushed it down” and hoped these overwhelming feelings would “go away”. Phillis, who was previously known as Phillip, went on to get married and have two “beautiful" children, making “so many choices, trying to prevent (herself) from ever pursuing it”.However, despite “pasting on a happy face and a happy smile” for years, in reality Phillis was in "dark despair" - and it was not until the start of 2022 that she started hormone replacement therapy (HRT).In November 2022, at 69 years old, Phillis came out to the world after the hormones had transformed her from a "skinny, shapeless man" to a "curvy" woman after an experience likened to a “70-year-old teenage girl going through puberty”.“I never wore female attire or any make-up whatsoever until November 28 when I put on female clothing and I went to Sephora and got my make-up done," she said. “I've never not been presenting as female since, and I knew, that day, when I looked in the mirror and saw Phillis that she was out and there was no putting her back. “So that’s the day Phillip died and went away forever.”Phillis calls the time before her transition “the d *** Local Caption *** 40980673

    *** Mother makes lifelike baby dolls - some with real human hair - for women who have had miscarriages to help them copeBy Molly Powell, PA Real Life An American mother makes lifelike ‘reborn’ replica baby dolls for women who have lost their own to help them cope, some of which come with real human hair and are scented to smell like a real baby.Karen Elliott, 46, from Tennessee but now living in Morecambe, Lancashire, has donated reborns to children's hospitals and care homes in the US to remind patients with dementia of their children.Karen’s grandchildren live in America, so she has reborns as a comforting replacement for them and has even made some for her eldest daughter, Rachel, 27, and her grandchildren, Caleb, six, Emily, five, and Hadleigh, three months, which they treat as real babies.Karen has two reborns - Roxy, a newborn, and Jupiter, a 10-month-old, who is made with real human hair and smells like a real baby.Karen claims reborns act as a comfort for many people who have lost babies, with her most memorable creation being for a friend who lost twin girls.She explained: "One died after three days, and the other one was four days old when she passed away."I'd seen a picture of them, so I made her a set of twins and surprised her with them."She just cried and cried, and said thank you when I gave them to her."She still has them, and that was eleven years ago."Karen realises that some may think reborns are a strange coping tool, saying: "It might be strange to some people, but if you put yourself in someone else's situation, who has been through a traumatic experience, it isn't weird to them."So, before people judge, think about what they've been through."Karen, who began her reborn business Karen’s Little Angels in 2012, said: “I was on my work break, I was working at a school at the time, being a teacher's aide, and I was looking through pictures on the internet.“I came across babies that were being reborn, and I had never heard of it, so I *** Local C
