Marie Antoinette and I have a lot in common. In fact, we all have common ground with Marie A. I would go so far as to say Marie A. is an icon. We appreciate timely counterparts now.
Most of what we know about Marie is about their image, their brand. A Kardashian of their time, resplendent in hairpieces, cosmetics, stylish garments. Marie is painted ensconced in soirees, sumptuous food, image worthy children, and the French court.
But Maria A. was so much more.
They were young, beautiful and smart. And dutiful.
It was their job to make the French Monarchy look like a million bucks when in fact it was in debt and headed for ruin.
“I am all about the sizzle”, says Marie, “not the steak!”
Their branding campaign made a very bad time appear ok.
They seem the perfect person to share my worst fears.
I need some sizzle”.
