Actually it was in style to be rich, young, beautiful and in debt. I can find my notes if I need to....And she was only 15. The Court was a dangerous mix of factions and as Austria and France had been involved in a War, an Austrian Bride was going to be unpopular! But the Politics of the Court was the most back stabbing rumor filled and the more I read the more I realize that Marie Antoinette should have been sent over at a very early age and grown up at Court to survive it. Even then with jealous Aunts and no privacy at all, just trying to make a small group of People your friends and trust them became the heart of horrible jealousy. The Petit Trianon became a thorn for those that had no admittance and the criticism was unrelenting. I think that only Elizabeth I or Catherine the Great could have survived it! It would have taken that kind of ruthless, political animal to have made it through! And I mean that in the best way....

Yes...I think it might require an exact replica of the wise Empress to cut through the mind field, sadly Antonia was not alert like her mother at all.

I found a picture of a lock of MA's hair on flickr. The woman took the picture when she visited the British Museum. http://www.flickr.com/photos/echo_29/101001252

I wonder how she would have worn the Bleu Diamond (now in the Smithsonmian in D.C.)
Quote

I once read this and I loved it! She had a black velvet hat and she wore it in the middle or band part! You remember how those hats had brims and of course She would have worn it other ways. But what style! I think the whole outfit was black velvet too! Smiley

Isn't the diamond in her hair in this portrait? http://www.ladyreading.net/marieantoinette/index-en.html
