You never get to read much about these ladies, so I'm curious to read this now. :) How is it going for you?

It's rather basic, but Antonia Fraser's Marie Antoinette biography is an absolute must.

I already have that one, but thank you for your input anyways. "Marie Antoinette" was truly enjoyable! I also have another biography written by someone from Marie's family, I can't remember her name at the moment but it was a really nice read, obviously very accurate.

You know, I don't own this place, so I speak only for myself... Nevertheless, this kind of thing is really rude, obnoxious and goes against basic internet etiquette. I'm watching this community on my friends page because I want to read the entries. That means two things.

Firstly, since I read this community and am interested in it, I would have read your post anyway. It doesn't need bells and whistles and "OMFG LOOK AT ME" blinky, seizure-inducing trash. To add that sort of crap rather implies your post is more important than the rest of what goes on here and must be set apart from it, which defies the purpose of a community. Any post that is on topic will be read by members, receive due attention according to the quality of its content and be answered, provided the community members have legitimate answers to contribute ( ... )

I just put the sparkles to make things fun, okay? If you're bothered by this please just keep quiet and I'll remove it so you don't come and rant to me again.

Happy now? Don't judge without knowing what's going on. I just did that to make things fun. And secondly, I didn't even think it was rude. I perfectly know what's rude and what's not. At least I didn't write the whole post in giant fucshia font.

I really don't want either of us to keep going, but please, realize that I did this without any rude intention.

Happy now? No. I'd be happy if people put thought into what they posted in communities. Do unto others and all that. Because you wouldn't want me coming by your page and putting stuff on it that made it look other than you intended it to look. (And if I did so, I'd be expecting to hear you complain.) I'd be happy if people who behaved inconsiderately could take constructive criticism for what it's worth without getting butthurt. Just because you claim to be ending this before it reaches the level of ad nauseum absurdity doesn't mean you "perfectly know what's rude and what's not." Obviously. If you knew it so perfectly, we wouldn't be discussing your faux pas. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Just because you didn't think it was rude doesn't mean it wasn't rude ( ... )

Thank for posting this! I could use some new reading material myself.

I don't remember the authors name but 'Queen of fashion: What Marie Antoinette wore to the Revolution" is a fun read as a nerd for historical fashion I enjoyed it allot!

Edited because I found the authors name! Caroline Weber
