I Want To Be HER!
Sometimes--when things get shakey or you feel unsafe--the best thing to do is reach out an hug something silly. So, I must confess that I love The Duchess of Alba and want to be her when I gracefully grow old. Eccentric, stylish, and witty, Sevillana, La Duquesa de Alba, holds one of the oldest titles in Europe. In the pecking order of European nobility the House of Alba makes the Windsors look like parvenus. If you ever see a royal wedding in Europe she will always be in the second row as a symbol of her rank. She has an uncanny resemblance to Ruth Gordon's Maude in Harold and Maude and it makes me want to find her Spanish Harold. God, Mikey Riley is going to have a fun summer in Spain.

You feel this way because you have an old soul, eclectic but eccentric. You have lived a grand life before and are called to the past. Do you think the woman in Virginia was the Tsarina Anastasia? We share an interest!
Babs, Grand Duchess, not Tsarina. As a student of Russian History, I admit to being still confused; it is such a complicated story if you delve deeply. However, I will never believe the British test made with Prince Philip's DNA (the son of the Greek royal family and direct descent of the Romanovs). It was the British, after all, who stole the Tsar's money in WWI.
oh and you already started!!
I swer I saw that outfit on a hunger in your closet!
