Be very exciting to see how this transpires .... and I'm glad the event was resurrected also )

Best of luck on your search...I do recall you are good at finding people. Almost sounds like hide and seek? ))

My lips are sealed Sophia ))

My dear Monsieur Gandt,

A simple and innnocentquestion about your request.

Is this a dearly departed loved one or do they perhaps owe you some coin?

A seance is an intriguing undertaking to find this person. And will the Monsieur le Abbe be present to guard the souls of the guests?

Respectfully,

Miss Fandango

((Smiles and waves at Mercury and a great rp idea! Cheers and hugs))

History of the Corset, that Necessary Undergarment?

I often wonder about the corset or 'stays' that women of past eras have worn. It seems likeit must have been a necessary fashion attachment but the comfort factor must have been negligible. Hope you enjoy the link I found

Letter Discovered in Louis XV Desk at Versailles

Joseph Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon, first a king and then a resident of New Jersey, USA

History

The parties and the 'society' that must have been buzzing when they heard who the new neighbor was. Itmust have been a stampede to see the self styled Count de Survilliers and his estate.

Sadly, although the Pointe Breeze house was rebuilt after the fire it seems that it no longer exists. Would be an interesting drive by if it was still there!

"In 1850, Point Breeze was purchased by the British consul at Philadelphia who had the house pulled down and built another to replace it."

Since the New Yorkers were the ones to befriend Europe again so quickly, it makes sense that many would make it a new home or destination when they arrived in the states. After all, New York would have all the finest imports? With New Jersey so close by,it must have been fantastic to see the list of who's who of the time around the area.

I came across this article while surfing the internet and I found it a quirky, unexpected and fun read. Thought I would share it with the ning. To have such a figure living much of his life in New Jersey was quite a surprise. I can only imagine being one of his neighbors at the time and being invited to spend time with him and hearing his stories about his life in Europe.
