Today I went to the Rapunzel Coronation in Kensington. Sadly I didn’t get good photos of Snow White or Cinderella :( Tiana told me she liked my hair because “Green is my favourite colour!” in her southern accent :D
Part the first: The dress circa 1900–1903 from the Met.

” … As she fled fast thro’ sun and shade,
The happy winds upon her play’d,
Blowing the ringlet from the braid:
She look’d so lovely, as she sway’d
The rein with dainty finger-tips,
A man had given all other bliss,
And all his worldly worth for this,
To waste his whole heart in one kiss
Upon her perfect lips.”Sir Launcelot and Queen Guinevere by Lord Alfred Tennyson
If you were ever to visit the tomb of the Duchess of Milan Beatrice d’Este ( who was either my age or a year older when she passed away) you would see that women took zibellino to the grave.
Tomorrow’s theme is just an excuse to post pictures of pretty dresses.
One of my FYI-Friday moments.
I am hopelessly in love with Tangled. While people are sitting on the tube listening to their Lady gaga and their rap I’m totally in the corner of the Northern Line rocking out to “I’ve got a dream”
This is the concept art by Lisa Keane for Tangled (2010) inspired by L’Escarpolette (aka The Swing) by Jean-Honoré Fragonard
