Goodness, so she does. Now I want to see a movie about Alexandra in which occasionally her fichu retreats into her gown to expose her bosom, her fan turns into a snake or two, etc.

Wasn't there a story about a discovery of Cretan frescoes where one of the French archeologists' reaction to the wide-skirted, narrow-waisted women was, "But they are Parisiennes!"? (I am going off vague memories of a Big Golden Book of Ancient History, or something like that.)
