Maison du Lux is exuding a real "Empress" glow, although at first I thought, no empress ever worked as hard as I have today, bound up, a cog, and then I thought of Catherine the Great, Queen Elizabeth I. I suppose it depends on your definition of empire. Certainly, the wheels turn 'round here. How did they see themselves in the world they needed for everything, power, money, so boldly alone at its center? What becomes the look best? A cape, a gown, jewels, a crown? No. It's the gaze that tells you.

Windowlicker - from the French for window shopping: faire du lèche-vitrine - is more or less on summer hiatus, and will return in the fall.
