doesnt have to be marie.. but i need a dress of a woman in the 1700s.
any ideas?
i dont want to spend too much money.. so no costume over 30
and it has to be somewhat okay and pretty
and not from some vintage shops or goodwill.

Answer: You can get costumes from a party shop. And left over stuff from Halloween. Get a vampire costume because those most of the time look like something that Marie would wear. They wont cost more then 30 so you can get some jewelry and dress in up. Good Luck

Marie Antoinette Theme Party

Question: Party Themes!?

I need an idea for a party for the sweet 14! I would have it on 10-31 or 11-1. I don’t know what to do for a halloween party, what would be a main event (it isn’t sleepover and i dont wanna do DVDs) I am also thinking of a french formal, Marie Antoinette, type dinner party. But again I don’t know what the main activity for the dinner party.

I can do a mall scavenger hunt but…. i dont know what the party theme would be. If i do Marie Antoinette or Halloween theme we couldn’t go in the mall in our costumes….. or could we?

I NEED OPINIONS AND IDEAS!!!

Answer: If you do the costumes you would be able to go to the mall it would be quite fun you would be the center of attention. People would have a blast.

The high heel shoes attribute their existence to Catherine of Medici from Paris, who wore it owing to her short stature and became a part of the fashion shortly after. These fashionable shoes enjoy a varied history in men and women.

Initially, men and women both wore high heel shoes for centuries. The lower class walked barefoot and people wearing them were mostly popular figures such as actors. They wore indicating their social status and tried to gain importance. The men heels were primarily worn in the courts. The modern fashion comes from Italian style ranging to 15 to 42 cm. 17th century brought a change stating that women wore high heel shoes to seduce and marry men. Later, Giovanni Casanova also declared his admiration for shoes that showed the beautiful legs of women.

The year 1791 brought a significant revolution when Napoleon banished high heel shoes attempting to illustrate equality. Regardless of Napoleonic code, Marie Antoinette in 1793 appeared wearing shoes of two inches to the scaffold. Once again in 1860s heels gained utmost popularity and the contraption of sewing machine bestowed with great varieties in high heel shoes. In fact, Victorians felt wearing them gave a symbolic curve to every woman. The late 19th century brought widespread popularity, but in 1930s the western shoe with heels received favorable response. In early 1960s, miniskirt came into full form and the stilettos emerged into fashion enhancing the look of legs. Stiletto heels are long and thin varying in lengths from 1 to 2 inch, and are especially for women.

Even the tennis shoes came high heeled. The heelless high heel shoes allowed women to wear all types of shoes. Though, it seemed to be the height of eccentricity, the gesture of having an assortment of fashion choices could not be ignored. Women love wearing shoes matching their outfit and appreciate wrapping their delicate and elegant feet. Especially, the high heel shoes certainly bring compliments as they look empowered and highly confident.

High heel shoes indicate fashionable footwear that raises the feet of the wearer significantly. The footwear creates an aesthetic feeling as a person appears slender and tall. Today, they are obtainable in diverse styles and shapes such as pumps, tapered, stilettos, blocks, blade and wedge. Fashion icons regard heels above 8.5cm as high and consider anything below it as medium or low heel. It is noted that women only wear them, but the Cuban heels and cowboy boots are worn by men as well. Initially, raised heels lead to slipping forward while riding, but over decades it became stylized.

France later created high heel shoes ideal for men and women. This trend declined during the French revolution, but resurfaced in 1800s. The shoes went through several changes such as the late 70s preferred low heels, while the late 80s and early 90s were happy with high heels. In this period, the heels shape changed from 70s with block to 90s with tapered and 80s and post 2000 with stilettos. Recently, the shoes heights vary from 4cm (kitten heel) to 10 cm (spike or stilettos). The extreme high heel shoes are available in 13 cm and have aesthetic reasons to be worn. However, they cannot be worn practically everyday.

High heel shoes are popular among women as it adds height to the wearer and give an aesthetic appeal. It is also believed to alter the angle of the foot and also enhances the calves shape.

Question: Heather Mills! Having likened herself to Princess Diana, Kate McCann and Paula Yates, WTF she is now……?

Here’s a sneak preview of Heather’s interview next week with OHNO! magazine…

“I can relate to Boadicea, Queen of Iceni, who went through much the same torment as me. All she asked for was a few acres of land where she could live peacefully with her kids, but would the Romans leave her alone? And look what they did to that Marie Antoinette. She never said ‘let them eat cake’. That was a total distortion by the media.

“Often I ask myself what Mother Teresa would have done in my position? All right, she wasn’t messed around by a greedy, grasping man… but like me, she did an enormous amount of charity work abroad, which she didn’t like to talk about.

“And I empathise with Emily Davison, the brave suffragette who threw herself in front of the King’s horse on Derby Day. Joan of Arc… now she was another…” (continues for two more pages).

Do the words “PLOT” & “LOST” come to mind????

Answer: And………there she was again this morning, sitting on the GMTV Sofa with Fiona simpering all over her like last week. Just hope she didn’t bump into Auntie Lorrainne because in her coloumn in last Saturdays Sun – Lorrainne slated her for her behaviour.
