The Prettiest/Handsomest/Cutest/Most Beautiful

In your own opinion, who is the most beautiful out of OTMA. I've heard alot of different things about the topic on different threads and I just wanted to know what everyone thought.  

I think the prettest Grand Duchess is Elizabeth Feodorevna, " Grand Duchess Sergey".

Oh yes she is pretty!   But what's your favorite of OTMA?

Thats a hard one, I think the prettest is Maria Nikolaievna.

Am I the only one who thinks discussions like this are superficial and weightless?

No, and I don't think you're the only one by a long shot.  But it seems to be inevitable, as there have been several other threads that discuss this extremely *important* topic    It's too bad that those who wish to take it up *yet again* don't do a search for those threads first!

I know where this always leads, too..."Isn't Nicky cute?"

Oh well, it shouldn't be anything important, but some people just have this need to compare looks. To what end, I have *no* idea.

My only comment with regard to looks is that Olga, your photo is lovely.  

Now, this is extraordinarily ironic, on a couple levels.

Read through a few pages, and you'll see how it turned into a not dissimilar gushfest (starring who else but one of the above complainants), and that, when I had a problem with some things on that thread, was told in so many words to "p- off" by the other of the above users. So let's sit back and listen as we're told how that thread was a "parody" and that Dashkova is "trolling" (as she would and did have it when I took issue with a development in that thread) because she wants to "show us how annoying it is when we do it". Or something.  

Anyway, Maria. She seems to get ignored due to Olga (the oldest), Tatiana (the most exotic), and Anastasia (obvious).  Which is a shame.

Spasiba, Dashkulya!  

JD, let's not get into a discussion about the threads over in the Russian Revolution section. Yes, it did start as a parody, but we were discussing the intellectual pursuits of various lefties aswell.

Back to topic.

I'm not talking about the threads in the RR section. I'm talking about yours and Dash's hypocritical behavior in THIS thread.

So back to topic, indeed.

And, btw, I don't buy the parody argument as the thread starter was later BANNED for referring to one of the women pictured with some very strong and, some would say, demeaning sexual terminology.

I agree such discussions are superficial.  Who cares?  And I'm sure there are other threads on this "ever so important issue".  

Spasiba, Dashkulya!  

Dobre dehn, Olga, or I should say, dobre ootrah to you, da?

Yes, it is too bad someone saw fit to start yet another of these threads on "who's the cutest", but then again, it certainly gave us an inspiration on the Revolution threads, didn't it?  In our case, it led to more intellectual discussions about our fave historical figures.

I kind of *doubt* that will happen in this thread, but we'll have to wait and see!

I agree such discussions are superficial.  Who cares?  And I'm sure there are other threads on this "ever so important issue".  

Hi Lanie. Yes, there's at least a couple others.  They all kind of say the same thing, though...like, word for word  :-/  It's a little disturbing...lol.

Dobre dehn, Olga, or I should say, dobre ootrah to you, da?

Dobri den'.  

Dobri vyecher to you?

Dobri den'.  

Dobri vyecher to you?

Da  But past my bedtime...last horrid week of an agonizing semester...
