LJ Interests meme results

1. art nouveau:
   One of my preferred art periods. The swirly organic designs and beautiful women are gorgeous. I especially like Alphonse Mucha's art and WMF items.
2. bustle gowns:
   These gowns give the most beautiful silhouette! I love the victorian style and think that the women in that era were ever so elegant in their bustle dresses, gloves, little hats and boots.
3. cooking:
   Mmmm, cooking. I frequently try out new recipes, and I usually buy a cookbook with local recipes from my holiday destination. My fave recipes to prepare for guests are from New Orleans, Germany and Italy.
4. england:
   Yup, I am an anglophile. I love the country itself, the British accent, the castles, Cadbury's chocolate, Fish & Chips, Mini Cooper cars and lots more. :-)
5. henry viii:
   One of the most interesting Kings of England and a very misunderstood person. He fascinates me ever since I stayed at a hotel in London named "Henry VIII" and I wanted to know all about him asap, I even questioned the concierge (poor chap). Coincidentally, the hotel had six floors...
6. marlene dietrich:
   Diva outside + housewife inside = perfect.
7. pearl jewelry:
   Just plain elegant and goes with lots of styles, be they vintage or modern. Adds a touch of glamour to everyday outfits. :-) I own quite a bunch of (fake) pearl jewelry.
8. renaissance:
   Very interesting period in history, art and inventions, especially in Italy. I like visiting renaissance buildings and looking at pictures from that era. I spent most of my visit in the Louvre in Paris in the Renaissance section.
9. sophie marceau:
   One fabulous actress. I first saw her in "La Boum", a kitschy French teen movie. Since then, she made lots of beautiful films. I guess she's best known for her role as Princess Isabella in "Braveheart".
10. vintage unmentionables:
    I'm very interested in how the underwear changed in the last centuries. I even own a book called "The History Of Underclothes".
