Fairy Tales do come True...just not for you

My Name is Indy. It is short for Jennifer (long story, but true :-)). I am eccentric, mildly insane (aren't we all), and have a wicked sense of humor. I have an affinity for the classics, whether they be film, stars, styles, music, art, literature, decor or architecture. Oh, and I am a mother of twins...Yep, this crazy lady has passed her genes on to torture future generations. It was the least that I could do for this lovely little world.

That beautiful lass in my profile picture is my Grandmother in 1940. This was her Senior portrait from Louisville Girls High School. She is part of my personal collection of pictures, so although she would be flattered by the attention, please don't try to download, reblog or copy her without my consent. She is precious to me!

Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great (Russian: Екатерина II Великая, Yekaterina II Velikaya; German: Katharina die Große), Empress of Russia (2 May [O.S. 21 April] 1729 – 17 November [O.S. 6 November] 1796), was the most renowned and the longest-ruling female leader of Russia, reigning from 9 July [O.S. 28 June] 1762 until her death at the age of 67. She was born in Stettin, Pomerania, Prussia as Sophie Friederike Auguste von Anhalt-Zerbst-Dornburg, and came to power following a coup d’état and the assassination of her husband, Peter III, at the end of the Seven Years’ War. Russia was revitalised under her reign, growing larger and stronger than ever and becoming recognised as one of the great powers of Europe. {-Wikipedia}
