Scones in the Powder Room, Damsels

Dear me, Jeeves, but I am famished. And yes, you've read my mind. I'll take the scones in the Powder Room. I really can't be expected to attend all of these charity auctions and benefits, can I? A lady of noble decent can get just as tired as a commoner. Truly. Oh, Jeeves, I appreciate you complimenting my stamina, but really. I don't think I can carry on much longer - benefit to benefit, ball to ball, gala to gala...it is just too much.

Only one foreseeable solution, Jeeves. Yes. Get me my coat-dress. At least in a coat-dress I can go from event to event, perfectly dressed for both occasion and weather.

Yes, the white number will do for today. I really must go out and get more coat-dresses for the whole gamut of affairs I must attend this season, though. What should I wear next, Jeeves? For the Children's event of something-or-other?

Oh, Jeeves, this one looks so wonderful from the side! You know, Jeeves, I think my spirits are really lifting! I think all I needed were a few coat-dresses to put an end to the endless wardrobe changes and a few flattering camera angles.

Oh, Jeeves. You are too much!

Mansel Abbey: Hummana Hummana

Downton Abbey is the best historical drama you need to be watching. There are maids, butlers, finery and aristocrats. And they're British. Did I mention it's historical? And Maggie Smith is in it??

This series has been rocking Damsel HQ for the past month with its scandals and one liners. We've breezed through the two available seasons and are now feeling bereft because the third season won't be coming out until September 2012 in Britain and as late as 2013 here in the States! We have been clutching our pearls for weeks since learning this horrid news!

There's just so much to love—scandals, ladies in gorgeous dresses and cocktail hours where words like "minx" and "scoundrel" are delightfully thrown about. Oh, and there are also quite handsome gentlemen, with accents and cravats to boot.


The handsome heir of Downton.

The tragically sweet second footman foiled by...


...the frustratingly evil, yet undeniably handsome first footman.

Oh my, how did that get in there?

Still need convincing? Maybe this charming interview with the cast members will convince you.


History is always hummana hummana-worthy.
