Userid,
I'm not certain where the closet was, but here is a photo:
Patsy commented that JBR had a VHS player in her room and loved to watch Shirley Temple movies over and over again. It was the Paughs who got JonBenet watching Shirley Temple tapes, likely schooling for the pageants?

The TV is in the closet that is directly in front of the messy bed, at 6:40 in the video from the following link: http://radaronline.com/videos/jon-benet-ramsey-murder-crime-scene-video/
Hi UKGuy,
You are right about PR saying (almost bragging) that JBR loved to watch the Shirley Temple movies over and over. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, or not old-fashioned enough, but I do not think the old Shirley Temple movies were all "goodness and light" as some would think. I certainly would not want my 6 yr old daughter watching them unsupervised.
There did appear to be a fondness for vintage things - vintage as in 1920's 1950's. My gut feeling was that came mostly from Nedra.
When I first read Kolar's book and came across the theory that toy train tracks caused the unusual marks on JBR's body - strange as this might sound - my first thought went to the old silent films where women were tied with ROPE on train tracks screaming for a hero to come save her. I hope to heck that was never a kid's game played at the R's house!
Just way too many icky things we've learned about that family. Much of it, from their own mouths!
That photo is just strange to me. Is that even JBR in that photo? It just looks like three random school children; two of which are dancing or something. I suppose the boy (first child from left) could be a younger BR, but who knows. I wonder what is on those other pieces of paper...
Cottonstar,
Those photos showng the script could have come from anywhere, even off her bedroom floor? Why would JonBenet need to be writing stuff like that. She had no penpal, writing letters at 5-years old is a stretch, I'n on the fence as to whether its staged?
It certainly seems out of place, also that reference to Boyfriends. Could be remnants from a prior staging?
.I, now believe this paper is just one of many from JonBenets school work folder. If you look closely there seems to be a school folder with a bunch of different papers. There is a tweety-bird craft paper or something to that effect underneath the papers. Also, JonBenets pink book bag or mini-back pack is on the bed next to the papers. This is most likely the reason why the bag is laid out with all of the papers and folder. The picture that is on-top of the writing sample, is also of kids at what looks like, JonBenets school.

I don't think it's GLFNS, I think she's written garel fns.Yes Tortoise
GLFNS
I had thought it may been meant as girlfriends
but FNS, is it actually "Fans"?
2. Share toy(s)class:
1 be polite
2 ???
3 be nice to you
4 no fights
I agree that is the most likely.yes, it was santa good.
she exchanged g and c = s
ganta cood = ganta sood = santa good.
I don't think it's GLFNS, I think she's written garel fns.
I think its quite common for children to not hear letters or even imagine letters that aren't there, or to think one letter makes the sound they're looking for without using additional letters, for example the n in "fns" maybe sounds like "en", if she hasn't learnt the letters phonetically. It appears also that JonBenet didn't hear the sounds of the r and d, so to her the word sounded like fens. I think it unlikely she meant fans because we do say boyfriend and girlfriend, but it's a possibility.
