On Tuesday, we went to the Victoria and Albert Museum. It was not exactly what I thought it was going to be but, I still found interesting things to look at. The museum was arranged by time period and continent. That made it really easy to know where we wanted to go and the general direction. Terrance found 1500s Europe, which had reclining pillows for people to lay down, and decided that was where he could be found. He’s kind of a lazy excuse for a tortoise. While he was relaxing by the (empty) fountains, we found the Asia section. All the armor and weaponry was really cool because, it hadn’t really aged any. The metal still shined and the jets in the hilts still sparkled. We were back in the Europe section to get Terrance when we saw this white dress. It was plain but beautiful. It reminded me of Bianca from Love’s Sacrifice. I loved how the costume designer went with a pain dress because it showed her roots. She wasn’t brought up royal, she was an ordinary girl that was extremely lucky to have met a duke. The dress from the museum was also very simple and lower class looking. It has a pattern on it but it’s not ornate and the bust is not even embellished. I couldn’t see the front of Bianca’s dress from where our seats were located so, I guess I have free range for what it looked like. I imagine it very similar, if not identical to the one I saw in the museum. Terrance was still lounging when I found the dress so, he’s not in the picture. He will come to his senses soon and realize London is so much better when you’re posing with a group. Also, I found Cheetos in a sweetshop today…I miss them.
