Oh - and Reba Rutabaga = Marie Anne Honfleur
Dearest Anne - I responded to this request saying that I would be happy to assist in this effort - particularly in the area of science and science education. But I also mentioned in my response that because of my work and travel schedule, I am extremely unlikely to be able to attend the meetings regularly- especially as they are two time a week. I think it best I not be on the commission, but I am willing to pitch in my expertise. Make sense?

Thank you for your response. I know about the King's interest, but wonder how a someone not of royal blood might go about getting an introduction to the King. But I suspect that is part of the challenge of Versailles, is it not? LOL.
Thanks for this post, which is extremely helpful.
A have a question. What about thebourgeoisie? How should we try to fit into these court factions.
I am trying to fit into court as a "natural scientist/astronomer/chemist" (assisting my husband, of course) in the emerging age of enlightenment.
I have created a back story for the both of us that is loosely based on the life of the Laviosier's (chemists, extremely wealthy, bourgeoisie, and friends of the court).
I am building a lab in my SL home that everyone will be able to visit. I want to hold evening lectures of the science of the time. In RL I am a physicist and work at a museum - so I feel comfortable in this arena.
From what you say, I would be aligned with either Madame du Barry orMarie Antoinette. Yes?Thoughts?
Oh. The lab is not in Versailles, but in the Duche Aquitaine 18c sim.
I am REALLY looking forward to this. Please send a LM to the Ning asap. YAY!
