I can definitely see the advantages to being crowned, responsibilities or not. For one thing, they try to ensure that increased age is accompanied by increased stature (p.r.-wise) and veneration, which differs from, say, my own current situation. But "simulant stone?" I don't think so. As Homey the Clown put it so well: "Homey Don't Play That."

I'm struggling all the time to achieve regal status, albeit in a very limited domain. If only I could crown myself, instead of that other fellow. Come to think of it, given the small size of my intended realm, paste jewels might be even more appropriate than the real thing. Plus, the downside is minimal. Consider it, a crown with no risk attached. Sounds like heaven!<br /><br />In addition to having a lovely smile, the Queen seems entirely authentic. That's quite an achievement in any role, and in this one truly remarkable. In fact, I find it impossible to begin to imagine her life from the inside.<br /><br />There may be a connection between my first and second paragraphs.notasetanimalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720858203931120530.post-37026276744327338212012-03-11T08:43:37.157-07:002012-03-11T08:43:37.157-07:00I have a set of jade and emerald grapes my aunt le...I have a set of jade and emerald grapes my aunt left to me. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720858203931120530.post-63562569244578987002012-03-11T07:48:43.935-07:002012-03-11T07:48:43.935-07:00I love the lower photo.
