Marie Antoinette Movie Stills

Question: Can I still make my room really girly even if the walls are blue?

I started painting my room a few days ago. It’s dark blue and metallic. It’s a little bit on the dark side, but I still like it. I also like really girly stuff, and pastel and pink colors (like Juicy Couture and stuff from the Marie Antoinette movie). I’m thinking about getting a white bedspread and lots of pink accesories to make up for the lack of girliness on the walls. So would a dark blue and pastel pink be a good color palette? Or would that look kind of tacky? Also this might sound totally crazy, but would a pink and black striped wall be good for an accent wall?

Answer: Not convinced about the black stripes with the dark blue paint. Have you thought of plain pink with something dark blue (stencils, ornaments, pictures of some sort) I think the stripes would get to you after a while. Something lighter would help to balance the rather dark effect of the other walls and you can still do something dramatic with it if you can find the right thing. (a swathe voiles in pink and dark blue perhaps -?)

Marie Antoinette- Breathe

Marie Antoinette New York Times

The Press Club was voted Best New Restaurant and the owner/head chef George Calombaris was voted best Chef of the Year for 2008 by The Age Good Food Guide.

The Press Club is actually a Modern Greek restaurant. It is inside the former Herald and Weekly Times building on Flinders Street which is a building made of solid gray stone.

It seemed odd and out of place to have a Greek restaurant in such a modern setting as I am so used to having Greek food in informal surrounds, being Greek that means home, a friends house or a tavern.

There are large windows all around the building and peering in; the tables, all quite dark in color again seemed a bit odd. I thought how strange it is that we were going to be eating a Greek meal in such a sophisticated, formal setting.

On the sidewalk just outside the door was a gleaming gold flap board advertising the restaurant. It looked like something Marie Antoinette would have outside her bedroom door announcing she was in!

The reason we were here was for my mother who is a huge fan of George Calombaris who appears on her favourite show Ready, Steady Cook. We she found out he had a restaurant of his own we all had to go.

We opened the large heavy glass door, stepped up the dark wooden stairs and into the restaurant. We were warmly greeted and then seated right by the door. But we were ok. My mother was excited because we were finally here.

I was secretly worried as here was a restaurant serving my family food that my mother makes at home. No-one cooks better than Mamma. It had better be good. It was decided that we would have Kerasma. It is the name of their four course lunch meal. Everyone shares from the plates as is traditional in any Greek tavern.

First up came a platter of food on a large wooden plank. It had many different home made dips which is the only way to eat them, lovely Kalamata olives – my favourite and pita bread. All delicious.

The tray was left on our table as the next course came out.

It was the fish course. It had absolutely delicious slices of whiting cooked as I remember them in Greece. So delicious. There were also small prawns fried in their shells and eaten whole. I was a bit skeptical but they were incredibly good too. This course brought back memories of food I ate in Greece. Always dreaming of Greece. The memories were flooding back and all I wanted to do was get on the next flight out!

The next course was a mixture of delicious meats including chicken with pistachio nuts, yum. Being lactose intolerant I received specially made chicken. My sister being a vegetarian received vegies wrapped in filo pastry that was satisfying.

There were also incredibly good roast potatoes. My father loved the roasted goats meat. This made me incredibly happy. If my parents were singing the praises then is was exceptional.

As we were enjoying the meals I spied George Calombaris in the kitchen. I quietly whispered in the ear of our waiter who was a lovely young man that my mother was a big fan and if he wouldn’t mind asking George to come over and say hello.

My mother was absolutely thrilled. George was a perfect gentleman and he laughed heartily during their conversation. He was duly complimented by my parents as to how good the meal was. Everyone was happy.

Throughout this meal I had a glass of Veuve Cliquot which was divine. It was chilled and tasted great with everything.

Dessert is always my favourite and what a special treat it was too. It came in a long white carton box. Opening this treasure we were to find gold. There was baklava, chocolate baklava and my favourite – loukoumades. These are golden balls of dough deep fried and rolled in honey. I prefer sugar but they were still unbelievable.

It was a great day out and my mother was thrilled. If Mamma is happy than what are you waiting for?

Marie Antoinette Ball

Question: I NEED HELP! Marie Antoinette?

I’m doing a scrapbook project on Marie Antoinette. If I was to put an invitation to a ball or banquet or event that she might have invited people to, how would I write everything? EXAMPLE: You are cordially invited to…(is that right??) I’m not sure how I’d go about it. Please tell me how I would do it as in telling me how I would write this thing! Thanks for all that help!
This was the time period of during the late 1700’s…it needs to sound like the way they talked and the format should be formal because shes a queen!
veI’m just not sure how…I have one idea, but it is just the beginning: The Queen Marie Antoinette requests your presence at the Grand ball in Versailles.
Is that bad??
PLEASE HELP>>>>10 POINTS BEST ANSWER

Answer: Her Royal Majesty, Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, requests your presence this fourteenth of September in the year of our Lord, seventy-hundred-and-seventy-five, at her residence at the Petit Trianon in Versailles.

Her Majesty instructs that all formal wear be absconded in lieu of more simple attire, such as a peasant would wear.
