Going Goddess


(The One's got some competition) Goddess simplicity in a Grecian dress. Is there political import? WSJ:
The Grecian dress has been around since, well, ancient Greece. Its earliest-believed true fashion moment was shortly before the French Revolution in the late 1780s, when it symbolized both political freedom and freedom from constricting corsets and hooped skirts. "Many French people identified the style with democracy in ancient Greece, which contrasted with monarchy in France," says Ms. Steele.
Hmm. Well, we've seen some colonial dress lately. Making a statement.
