    There isn't really anything for Daz Studio to sell which is not already out there.

    This is true. yes

    However, some of us enjoy harmless banter about the bundle themes and the included bundle items and the bundle prices. Some Calendar days are associated with particular events and cultures that Daz might choose as a theme. The choice of an Egyptian princess instead of an Irish lass on March 17th is as worthy of discussion as anything else.  But maybe there is a link.  Maybe Daz employees are aware of Irish legends.

    Reminder - Irish legend of Princess Scota, an Egyptian princess who cofounded cultures in the British Isles.  

    A key word here is legend.  See  http://thetipperaryantiquarian.blogspot.com/2020/02/the-tara-prince-egyptian-princess-and.html

    Indeed.  I wouldn't mind seeing a Taco Tuesday bundle.  I'll go head over to another store with my suggestion for a Hump Day bundle now.

    When I was stationed in East Anglia from 1986 to 1990, there was a program on the BBC called 'The Celts' in 1987 and the music was by Enya. That links to the YouTube video of the some of the music. The documentary explained the movement of the Celtic peoples across Europe and the British Isles. As an American who was deprived of almost all culture and history except what was provided by a Reader's Digest culture of the 1950s and 1960s it was enthralling. I don't know if the documentary is available anymore, I think I have the book somewhere that went with it. I also fell in love with World Beat music.

    Doesn't look as if it had a video or DVD release. I have both book and CD.
