say hi to_ Holiday Guide | VII. The Comtesse
'The Comtesse' couldn't have had LESS royal beginnings; growing up on Long Island, one hour outside of New York city to a Norwegian Jewish mother and an Irish Catholic father. She spent her childhood dreaming of far away lands and dashing foreign princes to whisk her away from dreary suburban life.
Fast forward 20 something years later and she lives in Paris about to divorce a French Comte - the famed 'Mad Comte', before her 30th birthday. Oh how far she has come. As she and her fluffy white Persian cat, Baby Otto von Bismarck, eagerly await their divorce settlement of a beautiful château in the champagne region - she is poorer than the local peasants.
An aloof, humorous - dare I say - charming, American girl who prefers all night political and business discussions over a few glasses of Champagne or Whiskey - than gossip, still has a sultry and feminine side. She spends her time between her Design Furniture Magazine and hours pampering in the bathtub and watching Netflix Serial Killer documentaries.
Let's see what this Yankee Comtesse wants her loyal subjects to gift her and Baby Otto von Bismarck during her month long Hanukkah and Christmas festivities.
