One Kingdom, Two Queens

It's just over 2 years since this blog's inception and yet still  there are people who don't realise there are two separate people writing it.

All the time there are emails going to Queen Marie because they think it's me and vice versa. There are posts on other sites with photo's of me credited as being Queen Marie, in outfits that she'd never be seen dead in! So it's time to try again to show people that we are two separate entities. Very, very different entities.

We hummed and hawed about how to do this. We thought photoshoot, we thought video blog but in reality we couldn't be arsed with either so we are jumping on the Q&A bandwagon, along with what seems like a million other bloggers. So from now until Sunday you can ask QUEEN MARIE anything you want. Just leave the questions in the comment section of this post.

Ask her anything (within reason!) and she will collate the questions and answer them on Sunday. I will then do the same next week and you will hopefully see the differences between us by our answers. Hopefully.

This is Queen Marie. The red hair usually gives it away.

Who (or what) was your first love?

[KD]

I hope this isn't rude but:
How old are you?
I hope this isn't too personal but:
What's your job?
And I don't think this could be considered offensive by anybody:
What was your first designer purchase?

[Sal]

Which animals inspire you stylistically?

[Shen-Shen]

What's your favorite thing about yourself? Least favorite? Physically or mentally, whatever!

[j.]

Not a question at all really as you (Queen Marie) explained only a week-ish ago why you don't, but a request: it would be so great to see a few more of your own garments and ensembles on you; your relatively frequent mention of this item or another, without illustration, is very tantalising. Plus I bet people 'd get less confused if they saw two authors regularly.

[Angelic]

What is you biggest fashion fetish? (etc. shoes, dresses)?
Black or milk chocolate?:)
How long ago did you meet Queen Michelle? Can you tell some more about it :)
What are your hobbies besides fashion and blogging?

[Lauren]

Is your hair naturally red?

[Eyeliah]

Hehe, yes two queens.

Queen Marie, I would like to know what you do for a living (if it's any of my business). Is it graphic design or similar?

Also, how did you and Queen Michelle meet? Was it at work?

[Monica]

Are you Queen Michelle

[Ms Smart]

Which Queen came first?
How did you two meet?
Do you live together?
Paper or plastic or bring your own bag?
What are your top 5 treasured items in life?
What is your life philosophy?
Share something you recently learned?

[Frangelina]

I have recently started reading your blog and I find it very inspirational. I wanted to ask when you write your blog, where do you find inspiration? Do you have a routine of magazines/websites that you look at? If you could only read one other fashion/style blog, who's would it be?
:)

What is your fashion philosophy? x

[Aja]

I have been so guilty before of mixing up the names, though I am fully aware there is two of you and you are quite different. Apologies! It's those pesky double "M"s.

[Sarah]

I also want to know what your job is. Please dont answer saying Creative Director (I'm sure I read that somewhere!) as I dont know what that is! lol

xx

[Sarah]

also...my friend and I are convinced that you two live next door to each other or that Marie lives in the flat above you. Did we dream this?

[The Queens: Kingdom Of Style]

Sarah, Queen Marie use to live below me in the same block. You didn't dream it!

[SOS!]

All bow to the queen.

Your majesty, do you have any advice on fashion/style blogging? And do you think starting a fashion blog can introduce you to the fashion industry? It would be great if you shared some of your wisdom.

I also would love to see more pictures of you wearing your fabulous vintage and market buys!

What does the perfect day consist of for you?

[bluehammer]

What are you not telling us?

What do you like about the comments or emails that you get from readers? What do you dislike?

[bluehammer]

Is it time for a cuppa?

[Sister Wolf]

How did you get to be so lovable?

[Drusilla]

Where do you find so many pretty sparkly things to wear and blog about?
Also, is there anything that you and Queen Michelle borrow from each other's wardrobes (I'm interetsed in this because your personal styles are so different from each other).
