i could talk about our new apartment (yahoo!)--but i don't have the necessary visuals. i could talk about all the [new] work i have to do--but that's an old tune. i could give you a backgrounder on my romanov fetish--but if i had to do that, then that would mean you don't know me, so go away. :)
anydahoo. this is what tsarina/tsaritsa/czarina alexandra normally looks like in most photographs:
either mataray or naiiyak na ewan. ...guess it's the face of a woman with a kid who has a fatal disease that her very own chromosomes passed on...
recently i ran into some pictures of her, and this time she looks like this:
in the memoirs of people who knew her personally, they talked about her paralyzing fear of appearing public, making her look like "she had swallowed a yardstick". but in private, she looked like that.
made me realize the power of a smile, you know?
even nicky looks "awfully" pleased.
