We have a winner for the "Queen of Fashion" Contest -- actually, three winners. The entries were so exquisite that I requested additional advance copies of Queen of Fashion: What Marie-Antoinette Wore to the Revolution by Caroline Weber (Henry Holt & Company, October 2006) from the publisher, because I like to believe that everyone wins at Lux Lotus! I will be posting one winning entry each day for the rest of the week.
Theresa L. Duncan:
1. Momma's Little Jewel --Mott the Hoople "Mama's little
jewel, just outta school/Fresh from the nuns that made
you..."
2. Louis Quatorze--Bow Wow Wow "When he comes bursting
through that door, my heart leaps and hits the floor/Calling himself
Louis Quatorze, he's so young and dangerous."
3. Killer Queen--Queen "She keeps her Moet and Chandon in a
pretty cabinet/Let them eat cake she says, just like Marie
Antoinette."
4. Big Balls--AC/DC "The social pages say I've got the
biggest balls of all...."
5. Diamond Dogs--David Bowie "When they pulled you out of
the oxygen tent/You asked for the latest party."
6 Rip Her To Shreds--Blondie "Oh, you know her--would you
look at that hair?/You know her--check out those shoes..."
7. I Think I'm Wonderful--The Damned "Stick it to me baby
for the way that I am/But I don't give a damn, damn, damn. I think I'm
wonderful..."
8. Fuck The People--The Kills "You wanna own it, you gotta
wanna it, stab your back/Yeah, fuck the people."
9. Revolution 1--The Beatles "You say you want a
revolution?"
