#QueenMarieAntoinetteGuillotined225
Today, October 16 2018, 225 years ago, Queen Marie Antoinette was guillotined.
I came across a study in The Telegraph, UK speculating how historical figures would have looked today.
And now the transformation for today....
But unfortunately the first thing that comes to my mind with her name is : guillotine....
Notice how, like the queen, the original caption of the cartoon below has been transformed.....

This is how Marie Antoinette looked then….
And now the transformation for today....
"Her three-foot tall hair has been let down and her unusually
high forehead concealed with a trendy fringe. Known for her crooked teeth in her youth she has been given
a full modern-day orthodontic treatment. Teased for her small breasts as a teenager, she has been
given breast implants."
"Known for being fashionable and changing clothes three times
a day, Marie Antoinette is dressed in a modern designer dress. Reported to
express how she was feeling through the accessories in her wig, she is wearing
a flirty Philip Treacey style hat.Her modern day portrait also shows the her fully-made up in colourful make-up."
Notice how, like the queen, the original caption of the cartoon below has been transformed.....
The actual caption is : “Who has the time anymore? Now it just sits there, gathering
dust.”
