Royal Obsession

An interesting story of an Australian woman born into wealth and social prestige and later, marriage to an English aristocrat.  She knew Prince Charles intimately even before her marriage to his childhood friend.

Her obsession with Charles shadowed her life and that of her marriage and children - her life disintegrated steadily plagued by physical and mental health scandals.

A torrid life.

Lincoln

A new book Colonization after Emancipation reveals Lincoln's complex and controversial stance on race. 

Abraham Lincoln's post emancipation advice to blacks was to resettle in Central America, a region well suited in temperature being similar to their native Africa.  The purpose as he saw it was their opportunity to build a society as grand and self-determining as their white counterpart.

I agree with him ... the development of race independence would have been indisputably positive.  Before the onset of civil rights reform and desegregation, black social groups and initiatives sought to uplift and create solid associations among themselves.  The ideas and solidarity that resulted were pure gold until they were forcibly undone by white society or otherwise frittered away.

The experience would have been entirely different but in a good way, if only.

The Divine Couple

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Click topic for LINK

The Abrahamic religions - Jews, Muslims, Christians - are of one accord that there is one God, one universal creator.  History reveals through archaeological evidence and ancient texts that God was one of several gods worshipped and that included his goddess/wife worshipped alongside Him.

Yaweh's companions, El, Baal, Molek and the goddess Asherah were worshipped with Him in the Temple of Jerusalem. 

Asherah was a powerful fertility goddess and wife of Yahweh the high god at Ugarit - Yahweh was also called El. 

The reference was found written on a large 8th century piece of pottery at Kuntillet'Ajrud - the inscription was a petition for blessing on a journey from 'Yahweh and his Asherah.'  Other inscriptions unearthed have supported the position that God had a wife consort.

Many centuries of male dominance has eroded all evidence of the godesses while monotheism ended the notion of the divine couple, instead regaling a single male diety.  Other gods/godesses have been relegated to the status of Angels.

He was nineteen at his accession which contributed to his misfortune as a taciturn Monarch, ultimately executed on charge of treason. 

The true misfortune was his intellect and certain ability that failed to enlighten him when most needed.

As dandy Andy always decrees - there is a breakout star on every new incarnation of the Real Housewives on Bravo.

Elsa
 
Last run on RHW of Beverly Hills saw Giggy the Pom's (Lisa's fluff ball a.k.a. a pomeranian) star rise to the absolute heights in Twitterverse and beyond.


the Gigster
On this season of the Real Housewives of Miami, it is cast member Marysol Patton's mother Elsa, who is steeped in personality - Andy fell in love.  Elsa is an interesting sight, undoubted personality with her latina guile and sass although her countenance is arresting but not in a good way, courtesy of countless plastic surgeries.

At the link above are pictures of younger Elsa with Marysol before she passed the plastic surgery watershed.

Buckingham Palace

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

George III bought Buckingham House in 1761 to be a home for his wife Charlotte - 14 of his 15 offspring were born there.  A series of remodeling projects began in 1762, initially on the King's orders and later by his son, George IV on his 1820 accession.  The remodeled State and semi-State rooms today are unchanged since their 1826 redesign.  After his death in 1830, the King's younger brother, William IV continued the work but neither moved in.

A fire in 1834 destroyed the Houses of Parliament and the King offered the Palace's accommodation though his offer was declined. 

Therefore Queen Victoria was the first monarch to move in, in 1837 - to make room for her growing family a wing was added creating the quadrangle design it is today.

Redesign projects were complete just before the outbreak of World War II in 1914.

The 1980s was an innocent time (sorta), if we count out the cocaine wars it was post 60s social turmoil and 70s crazy, although 80s fashion was and is scarier than hell ... every decade has its cool, of course.

By this time we have entered the obsession phase ~ just watching and listening to the life and times of Mr. Estevez.  We have seen many scandals but he is just plain entertainment!  From his own mouth, delivering his own words ... priceless.

He's such a bad boy, our Charlie.

The House Where Time Stood Still

An odd and eccentric request.  In the town of Moulins in central France a dying request 100 years in the making. 

Maison Mantin was willed to the town months before Louis Mantin's death in 1905 but with the insistence that the house be closed and reopened in 100 years as a museum.  For good reason - integrity!  He wanted the house to be a time capsule for future generations to see how bourgeois gentlemen lived in the early 1900s.  

And so there it sat through two wars, shuttered, a mysterious presence in the shadows of the Moulin's cathedral.  Even German occupiers during World War II left it unscathed.  

A team of 30 specialists did the necessary restoration. 

The house had advanced features - electric lighting, flushing toilets, under-floor heating with stained glass (love) and carved wood! 

Very, very, very cool.

Busty, bouncy, beautiful, bodacious Jane Russell, star of the golden screen passed away this week.

Famously 'discovered' by Howard Hughes, she followed her path and the rest is legend history ... to add a twist she was a woman of Christian values and practice - hosting spiritual meetings and singing gospel music.
