| The Hall of Mirrors is full of shiny things and gold-plated naked babies with swords to disorient visitors. |
I.) A fireplace that requires the felling of at least five old-growth trees every day to operate.
II.) Lots of marble busts of myself that are meant to emulate Caesar. Or Madonna.
III.) A hall of mirrors so that I can look at myself all the time.
IV.) Enormous paintings of me and mine, so that I can look at myself all the time.
V.) Floors with 9 kinds of marble, kept shiny so that I can look at myself all the time.
VI.) A spouse whom I force to sleep in the Flower Vomit Austria Bedchamber.
While Versailles is impressive, the expression on my face upon my arrival changed, upon entering, from awe to a sort of uncomfortable grimace like the one that appears when someone on TV has to remove a bullet from their own body. Versailles is a disgusting cesspool of opulence, and I would kinda like to live there. There is a macaron shop near the entrance, and I find this agreeable--the macarons may remain. But when I am of the means to redecorate Versailles for my own use, little else will stay except the ceilings and some of the cherubs with swords. And I suppose some of the pointy topiaries may remain as well, since being the only things in the gardens that are alive in the winter, they looked quite striking. Also I wanna get me some perfumed sheep like Marie Antoinette done had.
"I wanna get me some perfumed sheep like Maria Antoinette done had." you sound just like steven when he imitates Americans in France.
