- Xena mention in Turkish travel brochure
....One can see forms of cultural hybridity wherever one looks around the
Black Sea, but let me begin with one that is more amusing than profound:
a tourist brochure produced by the little city of Samsun on the northern
coast of Turkey. Samsun does not have much to offer the international
tourist, although the local museum does have a Roman bronze statue of an
athlete that any collection in the world would be proud to display. In an effort to attract tourists Samsun tries to exploit its proximity to the legendary land of the Amazons. The city has
created a scene in its brochure with an ancient representation of an Amazon on one side and on the other, the image of Xena, Warrior Princess, the Amazonian heroine of a popular TV series
produced in New Zealand. I was not expecting to see such awareness of the world television market in a Turkish backwater, but the impulse to amalgamate wildly disparate cultural forms has
evidently become irresistible in our day. http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig3/cantor2.html

She accepts, for payment, cash, personal checks, and money orders.
So please, come and check it out. The auction is up for ten days and has some very rare items you'll want to add to your collection!
You'll have to register before you can bid, but the process is painless and quick. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at
