And I do agree with you. But this was only something that I was thinking of doing, nothing concrete. Again, I thank you and many others who have shared their thoughts on this issue.
Back to the virtual currency system (trying my best to end this debate - I DEPLORE conflict!). I know Versailles is doing it - and Coeur, which I didn't know until this morning. Are there any others? How exactly is it implemented? Better question is how nobles earn income through the virtual currency? Taking a chapter out of history, French courtiers could not go into any direct business like mining, farming etc. (the French appear to be the only exception - there are many cases of, at least, Portuguese nobles going into entrepreneurship) but how do the Versailles courtiers earn money through the currency system?

Well I'm glad I've heard the perspectives from consumers and entrepreneurs. And I didn't really think the effects from the merchant's point of view (although I would NEVER sell anything 75% off - that's just wrong and cheapens the artist in my opinion). Lord de Vere, while your historical point makes sense the same could be said for any RP courtier who makes gowns, furniture, wigs etc. so as to earn their own income; people who took up such arts historically were never noble, and they would be seen at Court only when their clients wanted to introduce a commission. But I have solved that problem by creating a alt so as to separate my RP character from the entrepreneur.Let's turn attention back to the roleplay currency. Could those who know more about it explain how the RP currency banking system could be employed? (I wish I had the talent to create scripted goods; I could sell sugar and other spices from the Portuguese colonies!)

Now, another element I would love to incorporate is the use of the roleplay trading. I believe right now Versailles is the only court that has implemented one, but those who participate there (if there are any other sites please let me know) I could possibly offer the option of buying your goods with Lindens or the domestic roleplay currency.

For newbs and veterans alike, being a courtier can be quite costly. Gowns, wigs, shoes, jewelry and all the accoutrements of living such a decadent style is a fortune. Ah! The woes of paying court. I know there are resellers for "regular" Second Life clothing but there aren't many for the Courts. So, I am planning on starting my own reselling service. Only transferable goods. I have some in my current inventory (am I the only one doing virtual spring cleaning?) but I know there is much more to do. Suggestions will be appreciated as well 
(P.S.: I'm also thinking of having a service for the more esteemed clients. Perhaps a private viewing at their leisure...)

THE ROYAL WEDDING!
General Discussion
I am assuming many of you watched The Royal Wedding of Their Royal Highnesses. I must say Ms. Middleton - now HRH The Duchess of Cambridge (perfect title!) - looked absolutely stunning in her gown! I am sure Sarah Burton thought of Grace Kelly when making the gown (of course, another transformation of a commoner-into-Princess) and the tiara was very befitting. What did you think?
(BTW, I recently moved and they will have internet installed in the new place in a WEEK! Can't wait to be back in-world!)

I would LOVE to have the Vila Almores family act as distant traders. Speaking of service-oriented professions, bankers would sound like lots of fun. And if there will be a need for bankers there will also be a demand for accountants to bookkeep the banks and notaries, lawyers to ensure contracts are upheld and judges to bring lawsuits (those would be fun). For international trading network will there be a tariff rate? OH! And will there be royal licenses for exclusive commodities?

I'm just taking a wild guess on this one so please excuse me. But from the painting it looks very casual when compared to other late-18th century portraits commissioned by royalty and the nobility. Casual in the aristocratic sense, of course. The bonnet is very interesting. It does look like it has been pinned up in the back. If its suppose to be a veil I believe it could be associated with matrimony as veils have been for centuries, if not thousands, of years. Or motherhood...?
