  • Title: Marie Antoinette
  • Artist: Lafosse
  • Description: "let them eat cake"
    Marie Antoinette remains infamous for her spending and frivelous lifestyle to this day.
    I didn't want to do full-on copying of a painting or outfit from the film, because frankly, I didn't want to resort to using gaia-made 17th century items. I chose pink and blue pastels, because they remind me of icing and cakes, which are fun and expensive- similer to her life. The cake is there for the same reasons. They did sometimes wear skirts of this length, so I decided for it.

  • I actually like this one. It matches very well. 5/5.

    Also, Just saying, Marie Antoinette did not say 'let them eat cake".Really. First of all, the saying is "Let them eat brioche" which is not much better than white bread. It could have been a slew of other great eighteenth-century ladies, or, the phrase could've been made up like propaganda. You know, eighteenth century rumors.
    Private message me if you want my source. Good luck.
