Headscratchers / Marie Antoinette (2006)

• With all of the cake that the court, especially Marie Antoinette, eats - wouldn't you expect them to be fatter?
  • Some ladies were actually pretty plump.
  • Corsets.
  • And we only have paintings to go on- an artist on commission is hardly going to make his employer look frumpy.
  • In truth, Marie-Antoinette was rather a light eater, and before her first child's birth, she was a very active dancer, spending most of her nights at balls, which may have helped with losing some weight.
  • The Beautiful Elite don't gain weight.
