We should look at it from new comers' point of view. They come here, possibly knowing nothing about the Romanovs, and wish to learn. There are so many threads that they can't possibly go through each one and see what was discussed. They decide to post something, and they have 10 people jumping down their throats because it's been discussed. There is so much intelligence on these boards that they probably feel intimidated. I know I joined a Jack the Ripper forum once, and I was too afraid to post anything! If you asked something already discussed, it was like the people would have skinned you alive if you were actually there in front of them!

Well, if they would at least bother to use the search bar sometimes there wouldn't be all these needless threads. I know it works because I use it all the time. If a person wants to learn so badly then the best thing one can do is read. It's not that big of a deal.

Just my two cents here, was it not that when we all joined that the emails sent to us advise us read the beginners thread; and there it states that we should make sure that the questions we ask haven't been asked before? I remember watching some tutorial on it that stressed not creating threads for previously answered ideas.

Also, in terms of the thread, I think they're all ravishing in different aspects and I certainly enjoy drawing them. No preference  :D

I always attempt the search engine before bringing up a topic. It does not always work, so if I do a search and nothing comes up on the search engine, then I ask my question. Usually someone who may have better luck with the search engine can redirect the post or the FA will move the whole thread to the old one, which is all very helpful.

While having people find stuff for you is convenient for you, it's a lot of trouble and it's highly annoying for those who have to do it everytime someone can't take the time to have a good look. That's obviously why people get highly annoyed at people who make the same threads over and over; because others have to deal with it.
The search feature actually does work extremely well. You only have to choose the words carefully and you can try more than a few times until you find something. If it always works for me it should work for you as well. There's no luck with the search feature. You either do it right and find what you're looking for or you do it wrong and find nothing. It's not too hard.

Who were the stunners in the Romanov family and their kin?  Obviously Grand Duchess Elizabeth, Princess Natalia Paley, Princess Irina Alexandrovna and Princess Zenaida Yousoupov.  Who else might be in this category?  Photos would be helpful of course.

Well it really depends on the era or time frame.

During the reign of Nicholas I, you had his daughters, Grand Duchess Alexandra Nikolaevna and Olga, Queen of Württemberg then their was his daughter in law Grand Duchess Alexandra Iosifovna.

During the reign of Alexander II, there was Grand Duchess Olga, wife of Grand Duke Michael Nikolaevich. Grand Duchess Maria Feodorovna, wife of Alexander III, then we have Grand Duchess Elizabeth wife of Grand Duke Serge. Grand Duchess Maria, wife of Grand Duke Vladimir however in her youth was a handsome woman, however I don't believe she was ever considered a beauty. Not positive.

During the reign of Alexander III, there was Grand Duchess Anastasia, daughter of Grand Duke Michael and Grand Duchess Xenia.

During the last reign of Nicholas II, there would be a few more beauties. Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna was considered the most beautiful of the tsar's daughters, although I always thought Grand Duchess Maria was prettier, Princess Irina really did fit the standards of beauty for her time, Natalia Brassova, Countess Brasova wife of Grand Duke Michael was considered very lovely by many.

Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna for me, such a stunner and quite unlike the others.

Ella was definitely very beautiful, and the most in my opinion. Her sister Alix was considered very beautiful too, but I think it was the expression she gave to others (that being haughty, proud and unsmiling) which made her seem not as beautiful as the others. By all accounts I've read, Tatiana Nikolaevna was considered the prettiest of Nicholas's daughters, obviously having taken after her mother, aunt, and her other Romanov ancestors who were also said to have been very beautiful.

Do not forget Maria Fyodorovna. She was a beauty, and absolutely charming one.

From OTMA I have already said somewhere that it would be Maria and Tatiana, though Olga had also her appeal.

The more I hear of Ella the more I like her. That lady had guts and sense along with good looks.

I have always prefered Ella to Alix... The real beauty comes through the women´s eyes, and Ella had truly wonderful soul.
