I spent Christmas day watching the
History Channel. (I really love the History Channel). I saw two or so hours of "Russia: Land of the Tsars" for the second time, (LOVE), and after that came two hours of "The French Revolution" (for the first time). And thanks to those additional two hours I am now obsessed with "the last queen of France" known to all as
Marie Antoinette. I wish I could go back in time and switch lives with her for that brief period in which she lived a lavish life in the extravagant Palace of Versailles, wearing all those beautiful Rococo-style gowns... and hell, even those fabulous wigs and hairstyles with random stuff piled on top. And of course, I'd totally come back to my own life and time period before the whole... beheading business and whatnot. Haha..
EEP.
I remember we carried a cute, "modern" Marie costume at
Hot Topic a couple of Halloweens ago:
But the sizes ran way too big for me and so I didn't bother buying it. I wish I would have at least bought the wig so I could wear that with my handmade cupcake corset for a lavish photoshoot or something, haha. Now I have to wait till Halloween again.
Oh and I also remembered that Kirsten Dunst movie from a couple of years ago. I never actually saw it, and then I forgot all about it until a couple of days ago. Maybe I'll ask my brother to get me the dvd if he can find it for my bday later this month.
And while doing a google image search of "Marie Antoinette", I happened to stumble across this lovely thing:
I want it!!
;P

I love these dresses! Everytime I get nastalgic and think oh, I would love to live back then I think of how hard it would be to be a woman in those times - your monthly friend, childbirth with no drugs, etc. But the skirts are fab. I live through Kirstin Dunst in Marie Antoinette.
My mother always says I was born in the wrong time. I would totally wear insane fancy dresses all the time if I could. The Marie Antoinette movie with Kirsten Dunst is actually pretty good. I would watch it.
