Maar Auer has created a Chaconne couple's dance as well as the menuet. I have both, and each is delightful in its own way.

September - Renaissance Hunting in Antiquity
Communty News & Events
Three Antiquity businesses - Los Texanos Beaux-Arts, Twelfthnight Designs, and Les Arts de Saint-Bruno - are participating in this month's Renaissance Hunt. In addition, the Antiquity Owners Group is sponsoring a minihunt through nine of Antiquity's 16 sims (thus involving a total of 10 Antiquity sims and involving both the surface and forest levels.)
The Renaissance Hunt, of course, starts at the Renaissance Faire which is always a great source of resources for life in the 145th, 15th or 16th centuries. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Renaissance%20Faire%20Isle/21/185/22 )
Antiquity's own Renaissance Minihunt starts at the first of Antiquity's three Renaissance Faire stops, Les Arts de Saint-Bruno, in Mont Saint Bruno, Antiquity Heights. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Antiquity%20Heights/161/164/33
We look forward to seeing you wandering around! If you run into any problems with the minihunt, please contact Tiamat Windstorm.

Yes, Sunday in the tavern was a bit of a crush! And much more invigorating than any crush at Almack's.

Yes, we are all confused sometimes, when we start collating historical and real life calendars, and SL and RL clocks!
French royal court?
General Discussion
Although this is Prussian, not French, being the court of Friedrich the Great of Prussia and his badly-neglected queen. They do have a very solid historical interest; the one event my lord and I have attended there was well-grounded in the reality of the time.

General Discussion
We used to focus on the period of George III in Antiquity, although more towards the Napoleonic end of his reign rather than on the early-to-middle period (and I must admit that being something of a student of the wars associated with the Directoire and the Empire, the years between 1790 and 1816 tend to be my own favourites, and the ones that drew me into Anty in the first instance!) We are not religious about our era, though, and wide swathes of Antiquity hover between 1760 and 1790 - though we also swing into the lower ends of Victoria's era at odd moments (especially though not only during ironclad sea battles.)

I am going to do my best to inveigle my lord into the blue or the grey-and-gold. I believe one of those will be possible - although I would love to see him in the red. Indeed, I am quite of Prince Jacon's opinion.

History
And here I thought that occasional folk traditions of not wearing green were mere superstition. And I have so much green in my wardrobe...as does my lord...
So the recipe was published in 1822? That brings us a most interesting question. Given the extreme problems caused by Napoleon when he escaped from Elba, and the probability that some persons in the confidential services of the United Kingdom and other nations were well aware of the recipe in 1816, was the decoration of Napoleon's St. Helena rooms determined solely by someone's fondness for green, or by someone's practical political objectives?
