Introducing ... SUCRE
Marketplace Archive ** CLOSED **
Those of you who know me, may know that I have made a variety of items in the last few years, and even had a shop at different times. But I have never really pursued this in an organized fashion until now, probably because before I was not good friends with Marie Louise Harcourt, who has been giving me much friendly encouragement to proceed with this venture (it *is* friendly, isn't it, LouLou???).
So now I'm pleased to present to you
SUCRE, the French word for "sugar"; I chose this to represent the idea that I hope the things that I make will be sweet bits of goodness to enhance role-play and even modern decor in our Second Lives.
Currently I have a stall in the Versailles Marketplace:

I hope to announce in the next week a new shop and of course more items. In the meantime, let me show you the inventory available now at the Versailles Marketplace.
Hat, Clafoutis aux quetsches, L125.
Hat, La creme, L125.
Fan, Bacchus and Ariadne, L150.
Carpet, French Blue and Roses, L100.
Carpet, Golden Beige, L100.
Picture, L'Abondance, L100.
Bathing tub, L300.
Thank you for taking a look, I hope that SUCRE can bring something sweet into your SL!

Buildings & Other Structures
(sigh) sooooo wonderful, I love love love. Though (and this WOULD be a great discussion) I might have to "stretch" it down, if your perms allowed it, we rescaled Versailles and I incidentally moved my camera ( http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Second-Life-Viewer/Getting-Better-Camera-Placement-In-the-SL-Viewer/m-p/714307#M10 ) and now I have to "life-size" everything!!
I agree with Madame Milneaux, it is one of my favorite places in SL, and despite my lovely view over Versailles from my attic apartments, I miss living in the Jardin Francais ...

You made me LOL. <3
How do you treat your servants ?

That is a very interesting dynamic you mention, and of course at court, it is even more so, because those of us in the nobility who are "in service" are quite literally servants of the royal family. The hard "work" may be left to the femmes and hommes de chambre, but the ladies and gentlemen of the household are really servants nonetheless - this system was very consciously devised by Louis le Grand after his experience of the Fronde in his minority. He wanted a way to keep the nobility dependent on and subservient to him, and gathering them around him at his great palace and expanding the royal households so that there were many slots available, and making these places highly desirable, was all part of his plan to prevent any future bother from the nobility. Those who, in the future, held apart from this system, like the crown's Orleans cousins, only served to highlight how effective it was in trapping the rest of the nobility in its toils; I agree with scholars who attribute much of Saint-Simon's disdain of Louis to what he, Saint-Simon, regarded as Louis' degradation of the high nobility. Too right, but Louis had his reasons.

The vicomtesse is polite and kind but she sees servants as "other" in the sense that she was born to do one job, and they were born to do a different one. Just how life is and God could easily have chosen differently. Her mother and then her husband both trained her to have a sharp eye, both on behavior and on household accounts, so she tends to discover ill behavior quickly ... she pays well and is a pleasant employer, but if you are summoned to speak with her, and once closeted with the little vicomtesse notice she is idly flicking a riding whip ... you'd best get your excuses in order and consider how to get a good recommendation out of her!
(BTW agree with Desi, you're doing a great job Redmond, I really hope more people will take up an interest in these roles, they offer so much room for action and intrigue! And now that we have the VCS, we nobles NEED to start "hiring" ...)
[M] What!? NEW GOWNS!

PRETTY!!
The only thing that would make the Bathilde better is if you used floral lace on it. 
(Sorry people, inside joke.) No no, two gowns as pretty as their namesakes.
Registration Changes
Site News & Guidelines
Without getting into who-all and whatever, it's pretty simple, if you have an alt - and there are good reasons for needing one de temps a temps - then when you go to register a new account here ... just send a little note along to Tat saying, "Hey, btw, Lady Soandso, who just applied? That's my avi for xyz." I've done that a couple of times and it's been ... mostly painless. --Ha! it's been entirely painless!! Super-easy, sets Tat at ease, and she can get you processed right along.
Forgetting the password, that's a different problem entirely. And the really really REAL problem: Shelling out the extra L$$$ for the extra accounts (alts need new gowns too, you know!!) ...
