Day 7
My actions today were to research about the hairstyle called the "pouf". But I couldn't really find out much information about it. I did find out that the full name for the hairstyle is called the Belle Pouf, named after a ship. I found a picture of Marie when she was 14 years old the age when she married Louis XVI. My goal was to get up to 18 index cards and I did. My research today will help me because I found out that Marie not only inspired clothing back then but she still inspires clothing now. There is a shoe and a hair salon inspired by her and this is how Marie influenced women today. My next action is to just research about anything that is Marie influenced.

Summary: This is a picture of Marie when she was 14 years old also when she got married to Louis XVI. She looks very young because she was very young. This picture is going to help me with my research because now I know how young she really did look. Also, her mother dressed her and prepped her for her marriage to Louis XVI. Marie dressed the best of all her siblings and she was taught in a more French way so that she could fit in when she married Louis XVI.

Summary: Marie was born November 2, 1755 as Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna von Habsburg-Lothringenborn. She was 19 when she became the queen of France. With the French government in tremendous debt and in need of bread, Marie was still gambling and buy expensive things. The French began to dislike Marie even more. On July 14, 1789 a mob of Parisian citizens took control of the Bastille Prison in Paris. This marked the beginning of the French Revolution. In the following months angry citizens of Paris mobbed the Palace of Versailles and forced the royal family to Paris. During this time of revolution the Queen became the most hated member of the Royal family and was often viewed as “the Austrian woman.”
After an attempted escape from France that turned wrong, the royal family was held captive for several years until they were put on trial for treason. After Marie Antoinette’s short and unfair trial she was condemned to death. Marie Antoinette was beheaded on October 16th, 1793 at the Place de la Concorde in Paris.

Day 6
Today my actions were to research about Marie's circle of friends. Instead I researched about the clothign she wore because I had read in one of the articles before that she was a trendsetter so I wanted to research more about that. My goal was to get up to 14 index cards and I accomplished my goal. This helped my research question because the clothing that she wore is used today as inspirtation. She was a fashion icon and still is today. My next action is to find some information about her signature hairstyle, the "pouf."

Summary: Marie Antoinette knew that what she wore was about more than being fashionable it was a tool for survival. She quickly intuited that clothing was a means of looking like she had more power than she did. More than 200 years after her death, the queen of fashion continues to fascinate. She is the subject of a highly anticipated movie, the protagonist in a spate of books and the inspiration for designer collections. She has never exactly disappeared from the public's consciousness. Her trademark was the "pouf" hairstyle. Though she wore clothing from the "pouf" hairstyle to peasan-style chemise dress. She was the woman who inspired the world's first fashion magazines. Marie Antoinette is not just in vogue, she's in Vogue. Quest International commissioned a fragrance, "M.A. Sillage de la Reine," inspired by scents the queen may have worn. Design houses Dolce & Gabbana and Lanvin unveiled collections featuring brocade, velvet and neck-high ruffles popularized during Marie's time. She used clothing as a weapon. She's one of the earliest fashion icons. Maybe she didn't do a whole lot, but people were interested in her. She appeared so disconnected from the outside world, Collins said, that she became a figure people loved to hate. At her husband's coronation her hair came up to 3 feet in height. She was certainly a slave to fashion, at times spending twice her yearly allowance on new clothing. As those financial revelations surfaced, the queen's outfits were scrutinized, not as innovative fashion statements, but as the work of an enemy of the state. When she wore a simple chemise and bonnets at her country retreat, it was held up as evidence of her attempts to bankrupt the French economy.

Summary: This article was sort of like a review. It talked about the movies that was about Marie Antoinette's life and a book about her life. She sparked the revolution that destroyed the royal family and how she was a mindless party girl. She was married to Louis XVI to make an alliance with France. She was stripped naked in front of strangers and all her possessions were returned to her homland, even her little pet dog. This moment sets the tone on how she would never have a single momment of privacy again. Louis XVI was a shy young husband and was not ready to procreate. Later on Marie finds friends in a castle and learns that clothing ing France stated who you were, what station you or your family held, and swayed those around you. Marie became a fashion trendsetter as she tried out new styles, color, and fabrics. Maria used fashion to speak out as an individual, show support for various causes, or to show a political stand.

Summary: Marie Antoinetter's main job was to produce an heir. She had her first child after 8 and a half years fruitless years. After her fourth child the queen stated to focus more on clothing than gambling and partying late. She didn't invent fashion. She promoted radical new ones through her public persona, in the modern, celebrity-culture way. This is why we like her today instead of despising her as the last century did.

Day 5
Today my actions were to research about Marie's circle of friends and try ti get 10 index cards done. But I only got 9 done. What I actually found was some of her scandals that she had and some pictures of her. This will help me because knowing what she dressed like will help me make the movie about her life and the scandals that she had will help me be able to understand her better and this will help me know some more about her life and what she did. My next action is to actually try to find some information about the circle of friends she had and what she did with them because I didn't do that last time.

Summary: Marie's main job was to produce a heir but she couldn't because her husband was having problems in bed. People kept on blaming her instead of her husband. She wore expensive clothing and ate expensive food. Some rumors went around saying that the Marie was sleeping with her husband's brother. Some say she acted more like a mistress than a Queen. She partied late and a lot and went to the Opera. She even had gambling problems. When she finally had her children she settled down more and was more devoted to her children. She died on the guillotine for treason.

Summery: This article was about Marie's scandal with a man named Hans Axel von Fersen. She loved him and he loved her. He was a frequent visitor to the Petit Trianon. Those who were not invited to the Petit Trianon circulated rumors of her affair with Ferson. They were very careful to not have any pregnancies. When Maire had her children there was no way to tell if they were Louis's or Fersen's children but Louis accepted the children as his own either way. This scandal can help me with my research because this scandal was actually true and how she never actually marriedd the one that she loved which might have caused the reputation of her being such a "flirty"women.

Summary: This article explains that the famous quote "Let them eat cake"from Marie was actually not what she said. She was very kind hearted and she actually would not have said this. People could have easily have made this up because she had many enemies in France. It was her mother and Rousseau who actually said something close to that. They said "Let them eat an egg-based bread. This just goes to show how Marie was falsey accused for some of her scandals and that she was acutally a very nice and kind Queen.

Day 4
Today my actions were to research about Marie's scandals. I only found the Diamond Necklace Affair which I kind of already knew about. There are more scandals that supposivley involve her and other men. This is going to help me on my reasearch question because now I know more about her scandals. I don't believe all of these scandals are true because I think that Marie is actually very innocent and she was just trying to please people and they took it the wrong way. My next action is to try to find some information about the circle of friends she had and what she did with them.

Day 3
Today my actions were to research more about Marie's life. I actually found out a lot of interesting things about her. She had many scandals that people said but some of them were actually wrong for example the Diamond Necklace Affair. She was accused of many things when executed and was executed without any proofs. She was very young when married and lived her life trying to please people and died so doing it. This is all going to help my research question because it is all about her past life and this in a way could influence women today. My next action is to try to find more information about the scandals she had.

http://www.marie-antoinette.org/Articles/Entries/1997/1/3_Marie_Antoinette%3A_A_Biography
Summary: She was the youngest of 15 children born to Marie Thérèse, Empress of Austria. Also the favorite daughter. The king at that time who was King Louis XV very much liked Marie but died soon after leaving his grandson King Louis XVI to become king at the age of 20. Marie tried to have children but her husband failed to have erection so it was until 7 years later when the Queen's brother finally intervened and convinced the King to have an operation. Beyond her personal frustrations with her husband, Marie Antoinette was bored with her position and its duties. The Queen's indiscretions with her circle of friends led to scandals such as the Diamond Necklace Affair and rumors concerning her relations with that circle including Axel Fersen. Marie Antoinette threw herself into a life of pleasure and careless extravagance. These included masked balls in Paris, gambling, theatricals and late night promenades in the park. She did these with her close circle of friends. The young queen, with her blonde beauty and style set fashion trends through France and Europe. Each year she exceeded her clothing allowance which the King covered. Hatred for the Queen soon developed. Stories accused of all sort of sexual acts with men and women of the court, of sending funds to Austria, and challenged the paternity of the royal children. The Diamond Necklace Affair made everything worse for the young Queen. The country started to starve because of bad harvests. Marie tried to help the people but her aid was so small that people didin't reconginze it. The common quote from her during the starvation was "Let them eat cake" when she was told of the widespread starvation.

Summary: She married her husband when she was only 15 and he was only 16. She became Queen on France at the age of 19 while he was 20. She was part of the Franco-Austrian alliance so she was basically a foreigner so the people of France did not like her. The people in the palace did not like her either but popularity was something one needed when they are royal. She followed the daily duties but soon got bored and began to withdraw from the restraints and duties of the court, and began to enjoy a life of innocent and frivolous pleasure. She surrounded herself with a small group of friends and became created an image of an untrustworthy foreigner. She became known for trivial, yet very expensive escapades. Though she did many things she was actually very innocent. She had a very hard time because she had to try to please everyone. The people inside the palace and the people outside the palace. She was only trying to make life more interesting and her husband even told her to keep the court entertained.
She had 4 children total. 2 daughters and 2 sons but the 1st son died at the age of 8 and the second daughter died at infancy. So she only has 2 children that actually lived.
The Affair of the Diamond Necklace worsened her reputation in the year 1785 and 1786. Cardinal de Rohan, was swindled into buying a diamond necklace that he believed the Queen wished to have. A lawsuit came between the minister and the unpaid jewelers in which the Cardinal was acquitted. A lady called Comtesse de la Motte-Valois made accusations about secret, romantic rendezvous that Marie had had. These accusations tore Marie down even more in the eyes of the French people. After the mob came in and forced the royal family out she was still holding her head high. She was secretly to negotiate with foreign powers and was passing military secrets to Austria which was treason. her husband was was tried and convicted of treason and executed on the guillotine. Maire was tried for later and was accused of many outrageous things such as incest. The most absurd and insulting charges was that she was having sex with her ailing son while still in prison. The witnesses were usually paid, druken soliders, or disgruntled servants. On the day of her execution, her hair was cut off and her hands were tied. She was led in an open cart for three hourse being spit on and thrown at. But still she held her head up high.

Summary: This was a very brief article on Marie Antoinette's life. She was born on November 2, 1755 in Vienna, Austria. She was brought up to believe that she was going to be the Queen of France which later did happen when she married her husband. She had 2 children and had many scandels in her life. A mob came into the palace and forced her and her husband out. When Austria and Prussia declared war on France, she was accused of passing military secrets to the enemy. The royal family was arrested on suspicion of treason and imprisoned. Her husband King Louis XVI was convicted and executed on the guillotine. She was kept as a prisoner and was treated very cruely. Her 2 children Marie Therese and Louis XVII were taken away from her and Louis XVII died from what people say to be was Tuberculosis and malnutrition. Marie later joined her husnad at the guillotines. "She was executed without proof of the crimes for which she was accused. She was only 37 years old." I thought this was important because she was executed even thought there were no proof of the crimes that she was accused of. Marie Therese was her firstborn and was the only member of the royal family that survived.

Day 2---2/15/09
I had done some research at home on this day but I didn't really seem to find any information on how her lifestyle back then did influence the women today or not so I didn't bother doing a daily post but I decided that I should. So for that day my actions were to research on how her lifestyle effects women today or not. What I acutally did that day was just ending up finding information on her lifestyle and how she was what people would call an "expensive" women. She had high tastes and she had many scandels. This in a way helps me with my research question because it was some background information on her life back then which could help with the introduction with the movie. My next actions are to do some more research on her.
Day 1---2/9/09
I should have done a progress post for this day when we made a blogspot account and a delicious account. My actions for that day was to get some research done during class after creating the blogger account and delicious account. I actually just made the account and talk about what my topic was going to be with my partner Riya. It helped me answer my research question because it helped me actually come up with a research question which is "How did Marie Antionette's lifestyle affect the role of woman today?" My next action is to do some research on her life.

Product Prospectus
1. How did Marie Antionette's lifestyle affect the role of woman today?
2. My partener and I have decided on doing a video as our final product. It might be us acting out her life in bits and pieces or a video of Marie Antionetter's life.
3. We chose this as our product because we thought it would be fun to do something like this to show her life. It would also be easier on us to present this instead of actually explaining it out to everyone.
4. The finished product would be a movie containing Marie Antoinetter's life back then. It would most likely start with some background information on her and how she was different than other women of her time. then we might go into saying how she influenced people back then and how she either influenced women today or she didn't.
5. The finished product would have answered the research question throughout the movie and would be easy to comprehend. It will most likely consist all the things listed in #4.
6. Our task break down would be the both of us researching the topic each day that we have class and try to finish it by the end of February. Then we will get together and share the information that we both have gathered and try to shorten it. After shortening it we will decided on how we want to shoot the movie and make a plan with that. After shooting the movie we will be editing it. After all of that we would have a complete movie and present it on Exhibition Night.
7. The next actions to be taken on the project is just really researching on the topic.
