"the" Mrs. Astor

Doesn't a hint of royal scandal just tickle you? It does me.

A certain Countess of a rival court spent all of last weekend depleting the supplies of Glenlivet in Newport, to which she had been invited by one of the greatest hosts of them all, my sister The Countess du Barry. Apparently, the ostentation of Newport so overwhelmed her that she made some reference to my having spies placed in Newport to record her every move. (Ha!) Sadly, she had to leave du Barry's truly grand court and return to her own in the dark, barren mountains of Transylchusetts, where married lesbian house maids wash the fine lady's underthings in a local stream.

I hope this countess will understand that it takes time to develop so many photos taken, as they were, from the handles of walking sticks and snuff boxes. But, one rather shocking video is making the rounds of this court already. Apparently, the ersatz Glenlivet and someone shouting out "Zouzou" sparked a dance from The Countess that one can only imagine coming out of some mating ritual in Mozambique.

Great timing,too, for the ten, new video screens at MY court.

At least they had Glenlivit!

Now, now, dear; no need to let the heart pressure get the better of you. We Courts of the Tropics know how to take the heat. Don't worry; I'll be in YOUR court in ten days (and watching over my shoulder every second).

Bwahahaha...I will say that your sister, duBarry, is a Pistol! We had so many laughs (while she was applying her subversive spying techniques). Newport awaits your gracious presence; although I am not sure that New England can handle so many old Countesses at the same time.

"Countesses with Great History" Countess. Let's get it all a sort of Party Line.

Countess: Divide We Fall
United We Rule
(and the stupid
rable do what ever
we tell them to do).

Of course we are united. What's a little intrigue among friends? This way the peasants are constantly off balance. Plus they bring many gifts of Glenlivit to placate The Countess, just in case. *wink*

Oh, yes; a basket of Glenlivet was placed not too long ago on the steps of my petit maison by none other than the peasants. The ones who got away through the machine gun fire will remember the night of great generosity.

Countess -

I empathize with you, do not worry! My dearest uncle has started his own scandal against me! Read my blog :)

Is it a closed veiwing? I'd surely bring wine and fruit, finger sandwiches and men!
