The Canino Can Jane Resort in Roca Del Valles, Spain, is a resort and water park design for dogs! The ancient Aztecs chewed gum made from tree resin and crushed insect grease. Impress Elizabeth I of Russia, who reigned from 1741-1762, collected more than 15,000 ball gowns, never wearing one twice.

She was 59 when she died, plenty of time for at least 40 years of balls and partying, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t attend multiple functions a night. Not only that bust I suspect that what some would regard as ballgowns would perhaps be formal court wear both for evenings and days. These folk tend to change outfits multiple times a day depending what they’re up to, so not wearing stiff twice just keeps a whole load of dressmakers employed.trickles down
