For more than 20 years 'The Queen' rested in a cardboard box, shrouded in an old newspaper. This was the fate of one of the costliest pocket watches in the world, a brilliant masterpiece by the clockmaker Louis Breguet that was completed in 1827, a full 44 years after it was commissioned for Marie Antionette. It disappeared from public view in a burglary that took place on April 15, 1983, after...

My dear Utah Savage is passing around the love once again. This image of Marie Antoinette is intended to go to bloggers who have something to say, who tell the truth. And yet, she chose to include me. Hey, I ran for Diva President and lost. Utah was to be Big Chief Supreme, but now we have to look at another administration. Oh, well. Sometimes, the only solution is to laugh. When it hurts...

This is the watch I’m writing about and it might be the most beautiful watch I’ve ever seen. Mind you that this is the official reproduction started in 2004 and finished in 2008. To look at it up close is amazing - all of the complications are hidden, like a Mac. It actually couldn’t be [...]

The Wall Street Journal reports on the hottest fashion trend out of Tokyo: the Princess Girl or hime gyaru look. The look involves women dressing like a cross between Marie Antoinette and Paris Hilton. As Tim Gunn would say: it's a lotta look.

Discovered that the Siouxsie and the Banshees song Hong Kong Garden , (given a renaissance in the masked ball scene of Marie-Antoinette) was written about the Chinese takeaway in the boring London suburb where Siouxsie and I both grew up. Planted tulip bulbs and the squirrels stole every single one. Had a cappuccino and a...
