The Philippe Starck Barbie chair for Kartell celebrates one of pop culture’s biggest, most influential trend setters. The chair is a spin-off of Philippe Starck’s Louis Ghost Chairs, only instead of being completely clear, it’s a translucent pink emblazoned with the Barbie logo. Moan and groan about her all you want; Barbie is an icon, and after celebrating her 50th anniversary in 2009, her prominence is bigger than ever in the design and fashion media in 2023.

Thanks to Courfeyrac, we're starting off on a fun note:

“I have just met Marius’ new hat and new coat, with Marius inside them. He was going to pass an examination, no doubt. He looked utterly stupid.”

Poor Marius. He's trying! But apparently he's not great at fashion.

A brief political note:

"Near the basin there was a bourgeois forty years of age, with a prominent stomach, who was holding by the hand a little urchin of five, and saying to him: “Shun excess, my son, keep at an equal distance from despotism and from anarchy.” Marius listened to this bourgeois."

From this man's status (he's bourgeois, and the mention of his stomach may imply that he's well off because he's well-fed), we could make some assumptions about his politics. If he's well under this order, he may be in favor of some kind of constitutional monarchy (like that of Louis Philippe, which was popular with the wealthy segments of the bourgeoisie). "Despotism," then, could refer to absolute monarchy, while "anarchy" could be a more democratic order. That being said, it's notable that this language is so vague. We could speculate about what he means, but it would be just that: speculation. Given that Marius' own political leanings have become "sympathies," it's significant that he's listening; his beliefs are vague, too, and that can make this context-less statement sound a lot more acceptable than what it might mean. Marius himself approves of Louis Philippe, but that doesn't mean he might disagree with this man if they discuss what "despotism" means. This moment of vague politics suggests that many bourgeois Parisians were more interested in stability at the time than drastic change (hence the emphasis on moderation), but it also reminds us that Marius had a similar mindset, partly because he had come to accept vague principles rather than specific policies.

In terms of how Marius approaches "Mlle Lanoire," I normally think comparisons between romance and conquest are hit-or-miss (if the relationship is supposed to be nice, conquest isn't a great metaphor, but it can be great for deconstructing ideals about relationships), but I think it works well here because of Marius' past. He may not be a committed Bonapartist right now, but a lot of his self-discovery is tied to Napoleon and his father's military history, so using a military metaphor for another defining character moment fits into a larger pattern of how Marius understands himself and the world around him. It also adds an image of stiffness to his movements (enhanced by the reference to how he looks "mechanical"), which reminds us of his awkwardness.

His academic thoughts are also so funny:

"At that moment, he was thinking that the Manuel du Baccalauréat was a stupid book, and that it must have been drawn up by rare idiots, to allow of three tragedies of Racine and only one comedy of Molière being analyzed therein as masterpieces of the human mind."

I've heard that Molière became more popular during the Restoration, so that might explain his opinion (although I would love to learn more!). Judging curriculum choices like this is certainly part of being a student, though, so it's nice to see how Marius relates to his studies (and how he still has other stuff going on even now that he's in love! This is just one new aspect of his life, but he's dealing with everything else as well).

And this!:

“She could not, however,” he thought, “help feeling esteem and consideration for me, if she only knew that I am the veritable author of the dissertation on Marcos Obrégon de la Ronde, which M. François de Neufchâteau put, as though it were his own, at the head of his edition of Gil Blas.”

Some of Hugo's writing was in that edition and he wasn't credited for it, so this is both a moment of pettiness from the author and an attempt to show Marius' academic achievements (which is also funny, because who knows if this dissertation would really impress a random person? And he has no way of proving that he wrote it, either).

So I've been thinking about THIS:

for like a whole day now, and it's got me like:

So here are my notes and questions and thoughts:

Gonna be long, going to put under a 'keep reading'

THE PEOPLE INVOLVED

Simon Mirren. He created Versailles, and him posting this image suggests that he's working on a project related to Versailles or the Louis XIV period of history.

'He's back'. The word 'back' here absolutely suggests a return of someone we're familiar with.

Alex Vlahos is INVESTED in whatever it is - suggesting 'HE' is Philippe. He liked the post and commented 'Makes you wonder why he ever went away'...

... and then David Wolstenscroft, the OTHER creator of Versailles, replied saying 'And how'.

This is so cryptic. They all know who 'he' is. Alex seems perhaps wistful, maybe about the end of the show and therefore the end of Philippe. 'And how'... I've no freaking idea what this means. How 'Philippe' went away? How he's come back?

How he went away... the show ended.

How he's come back... well I have a theory later.

This screenshot above is taken from Gabriella Petrillo's Twitter account - as you can see, Alex shared the pic to his Instagram story captioned 'Oh, who invited you?'

Which is in QUOTATION MARKS.

Meaning that this is either Philippe asking the audience, or a general character tagline for the project.

OTHER PEOPLE WHO LIKED THE PIC

Anna Brewster (Montespan), Sarah Winter (Louise de la Valliere), Raphael Roger Levy (The Masked Man in S1), and also Nicki Oebel who works with Alex as the second half of his film company Cowhouse Films

TAGGED NAMES

Tagged in this picture are:

ALEX VLAHOS (and his tag is directly on the man's head, which might not mean anything, but suggests it's him)

EVAN WILLIAMS (not him, Chevy is blond)

GEORGE BLAGDEN (the only other real candidate as to who this could be, but compared side by side to the Versailles promo photos, and with the lack of response from George, I doubt it)

STUART BOWMAN (too young to be him)

Also tagged: Versailles Series, MonChevy Love, Versailles fan club.

Bonus: Helen Mirren (Simon Mirren's aunt), Bella Thorne, both actors, and also Louis Vuitton Official and Harris Reed, both fashion houses/designers

THE IMAGE

OK, so lets assume this is meant to be Philippe.

COSTUME/HAIR

The jacket is the wrong style for 1600s Versailles. It's more 1700s, and the real Philippe died in 1701. The costume designers for the original show were METICULOUS in their choices and the way things were worn. Including COLOUR PALATTES. Every character had their own. And Philippe only wore white like this once... at the costume party in S1 E9 when he dressed identically to Louis. Generally, Philippe wore more grey and silver.

If the figure is Philippe, the hair is the right colour, but shorter, and also half up, which is not a style Philippe ever wore in the show. His hair was sleeker with much looser waves, whereas this man has quite thick hair.

LOCATION

I think the Chateau in the photo is Fontainebleau, where some of Versailles was filmed, but I can't find a direct parallel photo from the position 'Philippe' is standing in. However, Fontainebleau has lots of water near it, like in the photo. (And I also feel like I saw Alex visiting there on Instagram within the past few months but I don't know if my brain is playing tricks on me)

IS IT AI?

My sister pointed out the image could be AI generated and honestly? I agree. No hands on show, and the bottom of the sleeves look a bit weird. No location tagged either. Historical costume that isn't quite right for the period we're assuming it to be, or for Philippe's character, which wouldn't be inkeeping with the series' aesthetic.

Could definitely be AI.

REALITY CHECK

Versailles was the most expensive show Canal+ had ever produced. I think it still is. And a new series, or spinoff series, would be just as expensive to produce. This isn't Game of Thrones we're talking about. The show has its hardcore fans, but it wasn't exactly a household name, which studios would throw masses of money at to reboot.

The story of S3 of Versailles also ended in the early-mid 1680s, just as the cast were reaching the point where it seemed ludicrous that they all still looked so young. The cast are now all doing different projects, several have married and had children since. They've moved on with their lives. To think they'd all return to a reboot or spinoff show... is unlikely.

However...

SAINT CLOUD

Alex Vlahos tormented us all with this snippet of a 'Saint Cloud' concept trailer a couple of months ago. Saint Cloud was the name of Philippe's chateau, and his spinoff idea was always a MonChevy comedy show about their lives and debauchery and stuff at their home.

But let's face it, this whole thing feels unlikely, and more just like a bit of a fun idea than something that a studio would actually produce, and he's only just started writing a concept trailer...

BUT.

SPEAKING OF...

ALEX VLAHOS

I'm gonna do a whole section on Alex Vlahos, because there's no way he's not involved. He, in fact, announced something at the convention that gives me my biggest theory about what this is.

Alex is obviously a driving force for the Versailles fandom. He was a key figure at the conventions and at the con in May I went to, and on Instagram shortly after, he announced he is going to do a Versailles podcast next year. It'll be a 30 episode thing, one for each episode of the show, and he said he'll have guest stars to chat to... including other actors and the showrunners, Simon Mirren and David Wolstencroft.

So.

That is a CONFIRMED upcoming Versailles project.

And so this image?

MY THEORY

I'm running with the theory that it's is a promo image for Alex's Versailles podcast, possibly made with AI.

It would make sense.

It's something for the fans, hence the tagged accounts. It'll feature the tagged actors to talk about the show. It's not something that is going to cost a million euros to make, so is more realistic. It's not a long term commitment for actors who have other jobs now.

It shows a man who looks a bit like Philippe - looking back at the chateau, as if reminiscing about his time there... just as Alex is going to do on his podcast.

BUT'S

Of course, this is just my theory. If it is the case, the fact that this podcast had already been announced twice makes the mysterious nature of this pic/conversation weird. And the fact that it was Simon Mirren posting it first, not Alex Vlahos, would be weird too, although maybe it's just because it's going to be quite an 'official' thing, with the support of the showrunners.

But I digress.

Anyway, on a final note, I would VERY VERY VERY willing to be proven wrong, and have a Versailles S4 or a MonChevy spinoff happening, I might actually cry if it does hahahaha

#versailles #monchevy #alex vlahos #alexander vlahos #versailles series #philippe d'orleans #ngl I mostly wrote this out for me #so I could rid myself of the brain worms lmao #but feel free to add your theories/details #join meeeeeeeeeeee

[leducdeorleans]

Me as a Person: Philippe de Orleans was fashion forward, intelligent, knew peoples royal pedigrees back to the age of William the Conqueror, and wore loud floral perfume.

Me as a History teacher to teenagers: So this is Louis XIV's younger brother, he was gay, wore dresses, told his brother he'd stop being gay when Louis stopped sleeping with all the women at court then sashay'd away.

My Students: YAAASS HE WAS GIRL BOSS!

....who let me teach teenagers who now want to make a giant poster of Monsieur with"gatekeep, girl boss" or something or another?

1862 Review of Jean Valjean

I am loving reading this reviews that came out as the book did. First it’s just funny to see that a “volume” to them did not mean the same thing as a volume means to us now; for them there were 10 volumes of LM. Second, I like to see how their opinions are similar or different than opinions now. This reviewer did not like what happened to Javert. 

Also, sort of interesting note that the author says Hugo doesn’t bite the hand that feeds him in LM. Whereas other reviewers I have read complain that Hugo does just that. Divisive. 

Also, this review contains the hilarious (at least to me) line “Le tableau de l’insurrection de juin 1832 n’est passeulement terrible, il est flamboyant.” Which at first I read to mean “Not only was it terrible, it was flamboyantly bad.” But then everything the author said about it after that was positive? So I realized that couldn’t be right...so after poking around on wordreference dot com I settled on “terrifying” and “blazing” which still doesn’t sound perfect but you get the gist. I’m only an amateur, always open to feed back. 

Also this journalist is the same one who attended the Brussels banquet in honor of Hugo, which is an article I’ve also translated. 

Le Charivari 16 July 1862

LES MISERABLES BY VICTOR HUGO  — FINAL PART 

The last four volumes of Les Misérables were awaited with feverish anxiety. If ever literary curiosity went so far as passion then it would be for the occasion of the final work of Victor Hugo. The seventh volume contains the story Marius and Cosette’s love. This idyll, as the author himself calls it, is cut by dramatic episodes and political events of such importance that the reader’s emotion is forcibly shared between the combatants in the rue Saint-Denis and the love in the rue Plumet. 

The tableau of the insurrection of June 1832 is not only terrifying, it is blazing. These street wars cannot be depicted with more grandiosity or truth. The adventures unfold to the point of forming a complete drama. 

Marius’s arrival and the apparition of Jean Valjean on the barricade, Gavert’s [sic] arrest, the playfulness of Gavroche in the face of bullets, the heroism of these young people who, like the gladiators of antiquity, say calmly to liberty: “We who are about to die salute you.”   All this frightening turbulence of a city at arms is translated by Victor Hugo with admirable precision and lucidity. Imagine a man who had succeeded in fixing on paper the flashes of a storm.

In the final two volumes, titled Jean Valjean, the hero of the book, hunted like a wild animal after the barricade is taken, saves the wounded Marius and through unimaginable danger, brings him back to his grandfather, M. Gillenormand. Jean Valjean takes sacrifice to the limit: after having saved Marius he gives him Cosette. 

He goes further still: the marriage concluded, he finds Marius and makes his confession. He delivered him from harm, now he delivers his confession as well; after which, understanding that his terrestrial mission is complete and that by ceasing to be useful to her, his presence at Cosette's would become compromising, he distances himself bit by bit, isolates himself, and dies. 

The sadness of the old convict, having done everything on earth to redeem himself without being able to achieve it and feeling that he is dying far from the only being he loves in the world, is one of the most heartbreaking spectacles that one can see and constitutes on of the most beautiful passages ever written in our language. 

It seems that all the keen force of the author is concentrated in these last parts. The orator and the historian often take the place of the novelist. The seventh volume is a marvelous tableau of the situation of France in 1830 and is a portrait, which is a master-piece, the portrait of Louis-Philippe. 

It is the fashion in all countries, in France as elsewhere, perhaps more so than elsewhere, that politicians throw stones at the tree that fed them and bite the hand that honored them. Victor Hugo, whose ideas have always been expanding, did not believe himself obliged to condemn the opinions and the men that he has broken with. He paid Louis-Philippe and the esteemed princes of the Orléans family a charming homage because he is impartial.

We will read these lines which are full of heart and they will remain not only as a model from honest people but as a lesson for the others. 

Now Victor Hugo will permit us an observation.  Among all his characters, whose personalities do not contradict themselves for a minute, there is one exception which is difficult to accept, that is Javert. The author almost created an honorable man out of this bloodhound of a policeman. For an individual who actively involves himself in an insurrection, who helps to build the barricades, who may be dragging a few weak heads into the fray, which he then points out to the gendarmes, can only be in our opinion a terrible rascal. 

To conclude, Les Misérables, besides the profound considerations of the plot and also the immense success that it has achieved, attests one again to the talent of Victor Hugo and all the while it is without contest one of the most important novels published in the last 15 years, it will take first place among the great studies of contemporary history.

Sir James Jebusa Shannon, R.A. (1862-1923)

The Silver Ship

Price realisedGBP 33,460

The son of Irish parents James Jebusa Shannon was born in Auburn, New York. Aged sixteen he camed to London in 1878 and studied at the Government Art Training School, South Kensington. He made his debut at the Royal Academy aged 19 when he exhibited a portrait of the Hon. Horatia Stopford in 1881, and Mrs Henry Bourke in 1882, both portraits of Ladies in Waiting having been commissioned by Queen Victoria. Although he received his art education in England, Shannon was touched by the current fashion for square-brush handling which emanated from the Paris ateliers. By the mid-1890s he was considered 'as virtually court painter for Violet, Duchess of Rutland' (Kenneth McConkey, Edward Portraits, Woodbridge, 1987, p. 119). She was an amateur artist remarkable for her precocious talent and was exhibiting professionally by the age of twenty-two at the Grosvenor Gallery, newly opened by her cousin Sir Coutts Lindsay. She was one of the most brilliant members of the aristocratic and aesthetic circle known as 'The Souls' and her outstanding beauty inspired several of the leading artists of the day including Jacques Emile Blanche and George Frederic Watts, although Shannon was her favourite.

George Moore acknowledged him as 'the man born to paint English duchesses' despite considering him socially ambitious and it is said that wives lingered in front of his work and demanded of their husbands 'Why can't you afford to let me be painted by Mr Shannon?'. He was a founder member of the New English Art Club in 1886 and exhibited there under Whistler's regime but resigned in 1892. During the 1890s his style broadened under the influence of Sargent, so much so that he was even considered by some as his rival. Shannon was awarded medals for portraiture in Paris, Berlin and Vienna, and his paintings The Flower Girl and Phil May were purchased by the Chantrey Bequest for the Tate Gallery in 1901. In 1901 he became the President of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and he became a full Academician in 1909 He was knighted in 1922.

It is likely that The Silver Ship dates from the 1890s as during that decade there were a number of small-scale fashion revivals including the leg-of-mutton sleeve which became increasingly voluminous in the mid-1890s. These 'balloon' sleeves, very much in evidence here, were often worn off-the-shoulder and terminated in deep forearm cuffs of the sort which had been popular in the reign of Louis Philippe.

Shannon painted several works of this period in which the subject was in an 'action pose'. For this he was considered 'an artist and a portrait painter afterwards' by Lewis Hind writing in the Studio (1896; vol. VII, p. 68). The lady in The Silver Ship is as yet unidentified and poses holding the object of the title. Aesthetic harmony is of paramount importance over and above likeness and it was this aesthetic interest that gave Shannon his international standing and recognition.
