Question: Marie Antoinette Halloween Costume?
When I saw this picture (http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2006/11/the_making_of_a_marie_antoinet.html#more), I immediately fell in love with it and knew I wanted to be Marie Antoinette for halloween. But I haven't been able to find any decent dresses that resemble her style (they all are those stupid sexy costumes). So can anyone find a dress that looks like something fit for Marie Antoinette like something from the actual movie or even that picture.
Here's another dress I found, but I can't understand the writing so I don't know what store it's from, but I'd LOVE to buy it!

Question: What was a good historical novel/biography you've read?
One of the best historical novel's I've ever read was a book by Louis L'amour- The Walking Drum. A very good biography with plenty of historical insight was the book Marie Antoinette- The Last Queen of France by Evelyne Lever. Anyone have others to share?
Answer: I've read quite a few, but these spring to mind as excellent:
Vincent Cronin's "Napoleon". It alternates chapters on Napoleon's career with his personal life, and is one of the best I've read.
Joan Haslipp's "Marie Antoinette". Full of personal detail.
A much-loved book is Annemarie Selinko's "Desiree", the story of Desiree Clary who was once Napoleon's love, and who came to be the Queen of Sweden. It's written in diary form and is not strictly accurate, but is a great read!
I also like Christopher Hibbert.
Oh, and anything by Robert K Massie on Russia and the last Tsar.
I'll try the ones you mentioned.
