Ok, first of all, let me thank you for the insightful commentary to each one of the paintings. What horrific scene! (Hunt at the Castle), although I must admit I had some difficulty finding the one hound going for the ass, it felt like one of those "Where's Waldo?" drawings. The "Tanto Monta" phrase, I had heard before but with a different meaning *wink*. Pobrecita Juana! probablemente era bipolar, pero el rumor decia que su madre Isabel tenia syfilis cuando la pario. Those cupids are not making out, they're wrestling and probably peeing all over the place right in front of Venus. And Zenobia should've hung out with Juana........ All kidding aside, this have been a tarty/sweet bite of brain food, my mind thanks you for it!
Querida Doña la Loca - I can't believe that we meet again on my long neglected livejournal several years later! Thank you for visiting. :) Indeed, my dirty, dirty mind kept offering up "so much do I ride" every time I tried to think of a translation for "Tanto Monta", but the good brain knew that couldn't be it. No conocía este cuentecito del nacimiento de Juana, pero me parece que es seguramente credible

My queenly Hua, I was delighted to find out that you and I share a common interest in women of power who have held the sovereignty of a nation with glory or disgrace. After you listed some of your favorites, a list which overlaps with my own and which includes Isabel I, I had been meaning to ask you for your thoughts about the Empress Wu of the Tang Dynasty, so commonly excoriated as a villain by the resentful male historians of her country. Perhaps in our next email exchange
