This I think is an absolute première even for our decade-old community: A planned event for a death, with dress-code... my congratulations to the Russian court for upholding history, gloomy as the event may be.

PS: I do wonder what drinks are served in such a case? Vodka I presume... (or should one try to pronounce ' водка')

Well, the dresscode is the court equivalent of cazh outfit, whatever you are wearing~

But I do distinctly remember the reenactment of Louis XV's death in the old versailles, which was very interesting for an RP-er like me, but my God the lag when we tried to run from outside into the small cabinet to "pledge our loyalty" to the new king Louis XVI before anyone else haha

P.S. I think all the vodka will be gulped down by her miserable husband at that point.
