Books about the Romanovs and Imperial Russia / Re: Romanov Diary by Grand Duchess George (nee Marie of Greece)

I am halfway through this book and it is phenomenal! Marie was related to pretty much every royal in Europe, knew them all, and has anecdotes about them all. If you haven't read this by now I urge you to seek out a copy.

Carlene Carter's daughter's middle name is Anastasia. June wrote a song about her. Stay away from Quentin Tarantino.

Having Fun! / Re: How would OTMA react to the modern world

« on: January 04, 2013, 01:45:41 PM »

I'm thinking along the lines of isolation and slow acclimation over several months - videos of Charlie Chaplin,Felix The Cat, jazz recordings moving onto big band recordings, Gone With The Wind, The Wizard Of Oz etc. etc. To thrust upon them Jerry Springer, Slayer, Saving Private Ryan and a trip to the beaches of Rio would be a bit much.
