My point was that I could kick myself for being so gender biased. I guess I
was just embarrassed. My wife got me into buying Belville stuff and now I
really like the Paradisa sets. In fact, I think that 6416 is a real

my lust for those big 6x6x9 windows won out and they found their way into
MOC buildings.
