Hi! I’m Giulia, A.K.A. Regina Phalange! If you are in love with F•R•I•E•N•D•S as I am, I hope you enjoy my little project here.
If you have been living on the Moon and you don’t know what I am talking about, first of all, welcome back to planet Earth. Friends is an American television sitcom created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, which aired on NBC from 1994 to 2004, lasting ten seasons. With an ensemble cast starring Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer, the show revolves around six 20-30 something friends living in Manhattan (thanks Wikipedia).
Ok, but what is a Magna Doodle? Magna Doodle is a drawing toy consisting of a magnetic drawing board and a pen. It was invented in 1974, and it had a huge success during the ‘90s. In Friends, it’s seen for the first time in Season 3, hanging on the door in Chandler and Joey’s apartment, and it’s just one of the many funny details that recur throughout the series.
I found and redrawn all the hidden messages in the Magna Doodle, and I put them on my blog and on Instagram, I hope you enjoy them!
