Maybe one of the reasons we love DA so much is that: It's epic. And it seems every country has had one great epic in literature. Russia had War and Peace, America, Gone With the Wind and South America--House of Spirits. So why did it take good, old and established England almost 1000 plus years to grind out a really magnificent drama like Downton Abbey to add to this epic stew? Something very, very English, unabashedly playing out the dramas--warts and all-- of it's class system. Of war and change. Well, that is a question. I know it is a loaded one but I really want to hear more about from you fellow DA Addicts out

Photo 5: Lady Sybil in what is a great rendition of Paul Poiret's--daring for their time--haram pants. This whole ensemble is in a word, brilliant! Via
