château de versailles, versailles, france, 07-11-09
it's another day, which means it's another chance to share more glitz & glam from the chateau in versailles...
they say all that glitters isn't gold, but it's obvious they weren't referring to this palace when this statement was initially uttered. look up, look down, look all around, & you will have the unpleasant sensation that you are drowning in gold. every ceiling, fireplace, door, vase, cabinet, chandelier, window, clock, bed, nook & cranny is literally suffocating under layers of gold. had the king's toilet paper been on display, surely it too would have been adorned in this gilded gaudiness! i mean, forget about the sandpaper effect it would have had on the royal ass, making a statement is far more imperative than a little anal scratchy-scratchy!
as for the photo, i don't normally take pictures of people without obtaining their consent first. i just feel that if caught unaware, i am stealing a piece of their soul. furthermore, to then share their captured vulnerability, would be nothing short of a personal violation!!! that said, this girl was practically demanding to be captured digitally! her pose was practiced & perfected, & the odds were good that she would have been mortally offended had she NOT garnered the attention of the shutterbugs...who am i to deny another's desire? ha ;)
so that concludes today's update from the land of the uber privileged. hope they enjoyed the spoils while they lasted, as little did they know, but the last reigning louis & his fair marie antoinette would soon be unmercifully guillotined. maybe all that glitters isn't gold after all, metaphorically speaking...
bonne nuit :) :) :)
