I wanted to share just a few photos of the gorgeous clothes in the exhibition. Some of them, the military inspired dresses, belonged to the Empress herself. We were lucky to come to the exhibition right before a guided tour, where our guide told us the Empress preferred wearing simple clothing to the opulent court ensembles. Often, it is said, those large dresses served to disguise her pregnancies. Interesting, eh?
Riding coats of Grand Duke Alexander Pavlovich.
Don't know what this was...:( But it is wonderfully embroidered.

Clothes of the grandchildren of the Empress.

There were many more wonderful art pieces from her collections. From paintings to toiletry items, sculptures, tableware and decor, to her beloved cameos. A truly marvelous exhibition showcased on two floors of the gallery. We went through twice, the first time on the guided tour and then slowly again to inspect every piece, and spent 3 and a half hours there!
I also particularly loved this portrait of Sarah Alexandrovna Greig, so here it is :D
This is how my partner Wesley Virgin's story launches in this SHOCKING and controversial video.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he revealed hidden, "mind control" tactics that the CIA and others used to obtain anything they want.
As it turns out, these are the same methods lots of famous people (notably those who "became famous out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become wealthy and famous.
You probably know how you use only 10% of your brain.
That's really because the majority of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe this expression has even taken place INSIDE your own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head about 7 years back, while driving an unlicensed, beat-up garbage bucket of a car without a license and on his bank card.
"I'm absolutely fed up with going through life payroll to payroll! Why can't I become successful?"
You've taken part in those thoughts, am I right?
Your success story is waiting to happen. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
