Hi there! Yesterday, when the newspaper arrived I found in the weekend special a very funny, Playmobil- related article.

First, I have to explain: next week is in Amsterdam the annual Gay Pride; hundreds of boats in the Amsterdam canals with gay people on it. It is one of the biggest parties of the year (after Queens Day) in Amsterdam. Lots of people from all of the country come to the city to watch it.

The writers of this article wants to show to all the people who are not familiair with the gay- scene which 'types' of gays and lesbians there are, and have used customized Klickies to illustrate what they mean. Hilarious!
I hope nobody is offended by this pics, the gay people I know that have read this article thought this was very funny.

If someone needs a translation, let me know... For the Dutch members: The newspaper is "Het Parool"

That is a very unconventional use; I wonder who made the customs!

Without your background information and explanation this would have been much stranger though, haha, so thanks for that! :lol: Also, I don't understand why hipster is on there, but then again, I don't know much about this subject. 8}

People may be afraid to comment for fear of offending someone.
I certainly have criticism for it, they should have used the proper bald head rather than leaving hair off, and the leather guy should have a hat like 30 63 5590 - Cap, peaked, uniform anyway.
And the Fashionista should really look more like Uncle Karl  ;D

Some of them wouldn't be considered 'types' here I think, some cultural differences there between the US and the Netherlands/Europe.

Hey, yeah, why doesn't the "bear" have hair?  He should have a shaggy do or bald head.  Anyway, interesting use of playmobil for sure! ;D
