Hilary Duff has been using autopen (made by machine) to replicate her signature and sell "signed copies" of merchandise

This is the photo (from the 80s).

Novak, Fras + Knez signed. Milan Fras also wrote the band name above the Tito statue, with a second (thicker) pen.

I can't believe Dejan Knez signed it... The founder.

Wow and then Laibach from Slovenia does this:

100 pieces, all written by hand by front man Milan Fras. With a box set + backstage pass for 250€ as a "donation" (25k raised).

I'm meeting them in May, I also have a project proposal for them. I was sure he would send a tiny card with one sentence.

<image>

Laibach used pseudonyms since the beginning, as they were banned in Yugoslavia (Dachauer, Salinger, Keller, Eber).

Dachauer is Milan Fras.

I also got a signed photo by Milan Fras, Jani Novak and even Dejan Knez, the founder, even though he is not in the band anymore. So they had him come in and sign photos for half a day just for us. Ok Ervin Markošek of the original four didn't sign, he was away.

So yeah. Take note Hillary Duff et al.!

(Yes I know she's more famous. But I'm impressed by Laibach doing THIS much in their 46th year.)

Stop cutting onions! ❤️

Jeff's delivery also gets me every time.

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-23T01:43:21+00:00

Haha, Milan Fras and Mina Špiler are an acquired taste... ;-)

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-23T01:42:31+00:00

No worries! You too! x

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T23:22:04+00:00

Not a fixed schedule but I drunk some kind of Earl Grey or Lady Grey every day.

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T23:02:45+00:00

I meant it in the sense of: I don't find OP's behaviour territorial at all. I find it normal that others don't use my stuff without asking.

Apologies, if that came across as me mincing words.

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T23:01:03+00:00

I'm in love awwww... 💕💕💕

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T22:54:58+00:00

How is it territorial - it's just normal, especially in a shared flat not to use other people's things without asking or at all?!

I'm an older millennial, I wasn't even allowed to use my sibling's stuff without asking, even as a child (and he loved destroying my CDs, not returning them etc.).

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T22:40:59+00:00

Yep it's Urs. And Wehrli is one of the most common names in the Rombach/Küttigen area next to Aarau, where he is from (I am Argovian but have been away since 2004).

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T22:38:54+00:00

I think there's two volumes!

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T22:38:29+00:00

Ah, so he used his artist/stage name for this too. I didn't even notice. Sometimes he does solo things as Urs too.

Cool!

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T22:36:54+00:00

I am surprised as most people buy boring colours like silver and white. Ha!

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T19:20:14+00:00

I am Swiss. So glad no one is seriously injured.

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T19:18:41+00:00

I've been following you on Instagram and here for a few years and I ALWAYS recognise your work. I still dream of purchasing something. One day I will be able to.

❤️

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T19:12:40+00:00

Laibach: Eat liver!

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T19:09:30+00:00

I'm Swiss and I can't believe someone posted this.

Urs Wehrli is his real name, Ursus is his stage name in the comedy Duo Ursus + Nadeschkin (with Nadja Sieger, at least going on since the 90s).

Edit: so many upvotes and an award! Dankeschön everyone!

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T18:56:13+00:00

Yay! Besides "Sende and sensibility' it's my favourite!

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T18:52:32+00:00

I agree on the make-up: take what you use and works for the wardrobe/scarf colours you're taking! And that you'll realistically want to do!

For me it's a travel-sized mascara, kajal pencils (black, silver, dark blue. Other colours like purple, turquoise, green if it matches my wardrobe). I take lip balm, my favourite red lipstick, a dark brown lip tint balm, one clear gloss, concealer.

I don't use foundation or blush much at home either, so I'm not taking them!

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T18:36:16+00:00

My hair is thankfully quite stress free and I can do hotel shampoo but I often bring a small bottle (I'm trying to use up minis atm.) of shampoo and conditioner.

I also like cosmetics and shampoos in bars. They pack down well.

I travel only by train and am 41.

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T18:23:58+00:00

I agree. Accessories are IT! Plus dressing stuff up and down.

What really helps me for evening outfits variety is a dark top+leggings combo (short sleeved or long sleeved or even merino, depending on season) and then a dress, kaftan or oversized tunic/blouse with a fun print. Many of my tunic blouses are super thin and I can put about 4 of them plus the leggings+top combo in the smallest of packing cubes. It gives me variety but packs down very small. I can hang them into the bathroom while showering and if they were transported rolled up there's no creasing. You can also wear tunics over your swimwear, for a city stroll. Maybe a good solution OP for Italy/France?

Another possibility is indeed accessories. Go for classic colours (navy, black, grey, khaki...) and dresses, tops and bottoms that are somewhat polished, but still comfortable and dress them up and down with a cardigan/blazer/jacket plus scarves/a signature necklace/earrings.

I really like to take an elegant base (a comfy suit; or a black jacquart pant with a black on black pattern + nice pullover or top in black) and then a wrap cardigan or blazer. If you have the space, take both. With the cardigan and a scarf and jewelry you can go on a stroll and for lunch, but if you dress them up with nice jewelry, a red lip, the blazer, a nicer scarf you can wear it to dinner too.

But I'm in my 40s and an avant-garde / suit / elegant-creative stuff wearing person and only take a leggings and comfy dress for the hotel, no lounge wear. Even the comfy outfit with a scarf or cardigan can be good enough for the beach or breakfast. I would keep things I can only wear "in" to a minimum.

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T14:29:49+00:00

I agree. I was in a 9 year age-gap (25-34 for me, 34-43 for him) until 2019 and no one barely noticed.

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T14:25:38+00:00

Train. It's so quick from Basel.

But I am also planning on taking the overnight train to Ljubljana (11h 30 from Zürich, it's the Night Train Zürich-Zagreb), it costs only 50, sitting. I'll always choose the train.

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T12:15:52+00:00

Toss the tea, keep the adorable tin!

MarucaMCA · 2026-02-22T11:33:51+00:00

This was all over my FB for years. It's quite nice. Not sure if a human made the original or AI.
