she can be yours

Portrait of Marie Antoinette by Francois Drouet

geez, do we romanticize her or what? checking emails today i came across this auction for some of marie antoinette’s things. i’d have thought stuff like this would only be found in a museum but turns out we can buy it too. if we really wanted it…

anyway, i have about 2 secs on my friend’s laptop right now cause mine is still down from a virus i was sucker enough to download masquerading as Window’s own protection. so beware! so i’m rendered a bit out of commish at the moment, now i’m fleeting! au revoir!

    of course you know I looked. maybe I’ll just find something similar on allposters and reframe it for a smidge less than what they’re asking for on that site. LOL
