Mother Knows Best

"...You frighten me about your money matters.  Tell me quickly what it is, but let me scold you beforehand, for either it is a new scrape, which is abominable, or it is an old one, which you are unpardonable for not having told me sooner."

Lady Spencer
27 October 1783

Dodge and its fabulous sports cars have a history of 18th century themed commercials of awesomeness.  Remember the Challenger one?

Yay or Nay Lady Charlotte FitzGerald

It appears as though everyone is still suffering from Turkish fever!  Madame Elisabeth came out with a Yay despite many comments on how she was sitting.  This week we will finally move away from Turkey and move forward with a dress that looks back on the past.

John Hoppner paints Charlotte, Baroness de Ros of Helmsley in an empire-waist, Van Dyck dress of blueish-grey.  Yay or Nay?
