Imperial Family Claimants...Part 2

[Tasha_R]

[these are some of the thoughts going through Tashenka's mind at the moment...]

Munching to Mussorsky' eh?  Sounds wonderful!  Let's add some Chicken Kiev to that, shall we?

Shall we dance (cha cha cha), shall we dance (cha cha cha)?

[and now for what actually comes out of Tashenka's mouth...]

Monsieur le Comte, you are too kind.  I am but an apprentice at such poetry.  Any guidance you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Indeed, I would be flattered to accept your invitation to dance.  Thank you, ever so kindly.

Yours,
Princess Tasha

[Count_Valentin]

Princess Tasha,

I shall direct my coachman to pick you up this evening, shall we say 9:00? I shall be most honored to spend the evening dancing with a lady so beautiful and accomplished as yourself.

beauty in red dress
perfection dancing with me
a long perfect night

[Tasha_R]

[thoughts going through Tasha's mind]

Oh, dear... I fear I'm about to look like a sunburnt tomato - red dress and face entirely flushed.  Better put on some more pearls to tone down the effect.

[and now some audible words, once again, from Tasha's lips]

Um... I'm sorry, Monsieur le Comte... I am afraid I must have misunderstood.  I was under the impression that you were asking to be put into a slot on my dance card at either of the upcoming galas.  I did not understand that this was to be a, um.. er... "private affaire"?

Most sincerely yours,
Princess Tasha

Dearest Princess Anastasia De La Real and Courtiers:

Oh my, thank you so much for the warning about AirMexicana.  I had no idea that the tires of their planes are fixed up with bandaids and string.  Oy, vey and muchas gracias.  Do they serve Russian style meals on Aerolineas Argentina?  If not a Happy Meal would be fine.

Oh, my dear, yes, we would so much like to visit  El Presidente's  fabulous 'Estancia'.   When I was in America we called them, el Rancho Grande....that was back when I was in the movies with Ginger and Fred.    

This wonderful trip to your country will remind me of when I made "Flying Down To Rio" in my Hollywood days ...except this time we will be inside the plane instead of standing on the wings.

I am sure that GD Anna is well acquainted with the Crown Prince of the Netherlands as she is very much connected with all the royals of that great nation of artists such as Rembrandt Van Rijn and other notibles of the artistic type.

I will have our chef fix up your Recipe for Cooked Canned milk and let you know how it goes.  He would have to make the 'easy' one as our dear chef is a little,  slow on complicated things like boiling water.  You see what I mean, dear?

All for now and see you in Patagonia the land of beef and bones.

Tsar Doug  

Would the Crown Prince mind if I had a whirl on the dancefloor with Maxima?   I am not too bad with the Tango and the Cha, Cha, Cha.

======================================

Yes; there are Russian meals in "Aerolineas Argentinas"...Let me know about your experiences about caned condensed milk boiling in water...I'm afraid for your delicate skin! . And not Cha-Cha-Cha here. Tango, yes; Milonga , yes, Mazurka, yes...Rumba, no; Bolero, no; Danzon, no; Salsa, no, Mariachis, no...And of course no "Rancho Grande!" This is not Mexico!   I'm happy you are coming, for you'll discover a country you doesn't not imagine!

The only thing I have to say (from my grandma's old slow computer) is that Evita was made into a musical, but it's an Andrew Lloyd Webber (ew) so maybe we can have our own dear Count Valentin(e) tell her story in verse.

[RealAnastasia]

How interesting, Margie! Hope our dear and talented Count could wrote something nice in verse about Evita for us to enjoy.

Fellow Claimants:

Just back from the mile-high city, and ready to cha cha cha, rumba, or do the cowgirl stomp wherever your next hoe-down is planned.

Sans haiku, but in buckskins and a stetson, I remain
