So Princess Skye’s favourite anime is this series called ‘Rose of Versailles’ its really old and pretty long, I don’t know much about it so I thought I’d have a chat with the main character and see what all the fuss is about.

Milky: Hi, so thanks for joining me today. I hope the tea is allright. To begin with, could you please introduce yourself?
Lady Oscar: I am Oscar François de Jarjayes, daughter of General Jarjeyes and Commander of the Royal Guard.
Milky: Oh, I see. Nice to meet you. So, I like the uniform, how did you get in to the Guard and do you like your job?
Lady Oscar: I was raised as a boy by my father, and learnt fencing from a young age. I didn’t intend to join the guard but eventually I gave in to my father’s wishes. Its not a bad job, but sometimes I get tired of babysitting the Queen.
Milky: That would be Marie Antoinette? What do you think of Her Highness?
Lady Oscar: shakes head She’s a flighty, frivolous young woman but I believe she has a pure heart.
Milky: Why do you think your story has been so popular, I mean there’s even been a live action movie and an Takarazuka production.
Lady Oscar: It’s a classic tale of love and tragedy, civil war and the struggle for justice. I’m told it’s pretty too.
Milky: So how does it end?
Lady Oscar: I’d rather not talk about that…
Milky: Well thank you for your time! Thats it for today, so why don’t you all go and check out Rose of Versailles? You can learn a few things about the French Revolution and see some great sword fights and balls while you’re at it.

Milky xoxo

It is raining today! It hasn’t rained in months and now its making up for it by pouring down out there, the street looks like a small river. Its nice though, I miss the sound of rain and its a welcome relief from the hot weather we’ve had lately.

This morning I went for a hair cut. I tried a new salon, one nearer to the Palace than my old one and I was a bit nervous but I am so happy with it! I could bake my new hairdresser cookies! I wanted a parted fringe (bangs) with some shaping around the sides and I think she did a really good job. I had the back trimmed and thinned out a lot too, which will make it so much easier to curl and now when I wear braids they are so cute and little!

I really wanted to go take Purikura to celebrate, but the nearest one is rather far away and I don’t want to go outside in this weather. Instead I used Puricute.com which is a fun little site that lets you make purikura style photos online. Its not as good as the real thing but its fun to play with for a little while.
