All Hail the Queen

Queen Victoria is famously known for saying, "We are not amused!" And meaning it...

Like the rest of the world, I have been watching and discussing all things British lately, especially William and Kate's wedding and their shocking royal relatives. Recently I became enamoured of a British idiom that I just knew my loyal followers would be delighted to learn (all 3 of you-thank you very much!!!). I accidentally discovered this idiom by watching my new fav reality show Pregnant in Heels with the very sensible Brit star Rosie Pope who is concierge to some of NYC's most uber rich (i.e. uber ridiculous) moms to be. While listening to Rosie discuss her clients, she kept referring to "Queen Victoria." What??? Come again....???? Until it hit me: Rosie was referring to the VIJAJAY (whackadoodle Oprah strikes again) as QUEEN VICTORIA! Jesus Murphy Malone!!! How perfect is that expression??? Which got me thinking of course... Has there ever been a more powerful politician in the history of the world than QUEEN VICTORIA??? And if you study her pic above, the symbolism is rich. QUEEN VICTORIA may not be much on youth and beauty, but laws, put her behind closed doors and she is a force to be reckoned with.

All hail the QUEEN!
