So, you want to get into politics, eh? Think you can swing it? There are a lot of rules once you're in this elite group. Meetings begin at down and could go till dusk. You won't be paid and you'll have to be willing to spend all day at the temple of Apollo. Wait, what? We're talking old-school Roman senators, you mean you want to be a modern senator? We have no idea how that works but we do know plenty about togas.Senators back in the B.C.'s knew how to dress to impress. Forget about pin-stripes, lapel pins, and cheesy seasonal ties. These senators draped themselves in the finest wool and if they were ultra well-off they'd even add a strip of red or purple cloth to their drapery. You have to wonder if they knew they were setting a standard for college parties thousands of years in their future. How many of those long days of filibustering and vetoing ended in a healthy, "chug, chug, chug" chant? It would be weirdly comforting if we knew that senators had to participate in rush-week to get a seat in the senate.Well, whether you want to go back in time to learn about democracy from the ground up or are going to an annual toga party, you're sure to look like a well-to-do senator in this outfit. Not only does this costume have an eye-catching red cloth draped over the ribbed linen-like material but the cloth's hems are also lined in gold. The whole ensemble is belted with gold and topped off with golden laurels, giving you the authority to discuss converting the main city aquifer into a waterslide.
Even though our professional training is in making Halloween costumes, we have an amateur's enthusiasm for a lot of different occupations. So the part of us that likes to read biographies and volunteer at the local historical society was really psyched about this regal Toddler Knight Costume! Unfortunately, their museum doesn't have any displays about the age of chivalry, since the head-to-toe chain mail fad never quite made it to this part of the world. But we're still really excited, so we thought we'd take a shot at giving this outfit some brief historical context. Ahem:About a thousand years ago, people were so good at putting pointy pieces of metal on the end of sticks, they didn't think there was any room for improvement. But along came a clever (and kind of crazy) blacksmith who realized that linking a bunch of little metal loops together was a really great way to stop pointy pieces of metal from getting to the squishy parts of a person! Everybody who had a suit of this new kind of armor became very popular. In fact, the inhabitants of each village and hamlet handed out candy to these glittering guardians, hoping that they'd stick around for a while. That gave rise to knights, a class of armor-wearers for hire, who went from town to town collecting treats for a living! And sometimes they wore crowns for fun (and dramatic effect).In that proud tradition we humbly offer this detailed outfit, so that anyone can reap the sweet rewards that come from dressing up in a shiny coat of mail! The end!
Plenty of powerful women have made their mark on history. Zenobia conquered Europe and even had the guts to stand up to the Roman Empire. Empress Wu Zetian expanded education and increased economic prosperity in China during her tenure. Amy Schumer proved that women are way better at gross-out humor than guys! Of course, few women hold the kind of reverence as the fiercely intelligent and classically beautiful Cleopatra.From an early age, all the way to her death, she truly broke the mold of what society thought a woman should be. She used her sharp wits to wrestle control of Egypt away from her brother. She snuck herself into the presence of Julius Caesar, cleverly hiding herself within a rug being delivered to him. She commanded her naval forces with deft precision during the Battle of Actium. She did all this with elegance and style. Even Shakespeare, a man born centuries after her untimely death, was enamored with her story. Now, you can step into her alluring shoes with this Cleopatra costume for women.Now, we can’t guarantee that any fancy English playwrights will craft a tale of your exploits while wearing this exclusive plus size Cleopatra costume, but it will make you feel like a regal figure ready to rule over her subjects! The costume comes with an elegant gold dress, complete with shimmering details fit for a pharaoh. It also has beige accents and colorful designs along the bust. It even comes with a beige cape. Once you have it on, you’ll feel ready for a cruise along the Nile (or the closest body of water to your costume party).
Cleopatra is revered for her beauty to this day. But did you know she was a master of pageantry too? Case in point, in 41 BC Cleopatra had an appointment to meet the triumvir Mark Antony. Now, we’ve all had meetings. If we really feel like putting on airs we might put on a little makeup, do something classy with our hair, even paint our nails. But Cleopatra had a golden barge with purple sails and silver oars made just for the occasion, and she rode up to the Roman beneath a gilded canopy while her servants fanned her and burned sweet incense around her. Needless to say, Antony was rather impressed. Think about that next time you need to make a great first impression.This shoulder length bob with bangs is another fine way to make a great impression. If you’re shooting for the Cleopatra look, it’s impossible to overdo it -- the pharaoh wasn’t known for her subtlety. This wig also works for Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction!

HEIR TO THE NORTHRuling an entire realm of Vikings is... complicated. Even when you have a Seer who is telling you what is going to end up happening, well, they tend to just tell you cryptic things about when you're going to die, so it isn't exactly always helpful. That is why, sometimes, it is better to be the firstborn of the ruler, instead. It gives you plenty of time to watch your father wield his axe and all that authority. Definitely gives you something to emulate!And, best yet, it gives you a clear idea of what you need to avoid when it is your turn to take leadership over the clan. From there, you can go around and finish off the things left incomplete. You can address all those old betrayals and bring vengeance down on those who brought the end to your father's legacy. From there? Well, we recommend that you maybe move forward with less obsession about allowing your fate to happen. Make your own fate! DESIGN & DETAILSWell, we're getting ahead of ourselves. Start off your earlier life with this officially licensed Bjorn Ironside Costume from Vikings. This exclusive look was crafted by our own Made By Us costume team in partnership with History Channel.

And that's why we made it!THE ONGOING DESTINYRagnar might give himself fully to the fate decreed by the Seer, but Bjorn isn't afraid to stir things up. Explore all the strange lands you desire and know that you're going to inspire your own kind of tales when you get this Bjorn costume for men and wield your mighty axe!

Nabbing a bunch of snakes to wear on your head might not be the wisest of ideas. We here at the HalloweenCostumes.com offices understand that the materials to make an authentic costume or accessory aren't always readily accessible. Right? I mean, if you have a dozen red-eyed snakes, a bunch of glue, and a cap to stick them onto, you can probably make this happen... But we won't hold our breath. As a matter of fact, you shouldn't even if you do.No worries, though! We've got you covered with this Medusa Wig. The best part is you won't have to worry about them biting! The second best thing? These synthetic red-and-black fibers, twisted into dreadlocks, are much more comfortable and much less slimy than the real thing. The third best thing? Everything else about it, of course.
Back in the day, taverns weren't just cozy bars with quaint names, they were rough and tumble places! And that's why every tavern needed a fair maiden. She'd be there not only to sweep up the filth-strewn straw and collect the silver for the drinks but to add an air of civility to the atmosphere. She'd encourage people to sing a distracting ditty before two burly knights could challenge one another to a duel over who got to sit on the stool with four legs. She'd usher the local well-loved outlaw out the back door just as the Sherrif sauntered in. This is all to say, the simple tavern maiden is the Meddeival diplomat!You'll look the part when you're wearing this sassy costume. Perfect for plays, Rennaissance fairs, and costume parties alike, this costume is the perfect balance of sweet and salty! The skirt has two layers with an olive green and maroon striped underlayer and a fresh green overskirt that hits at mid leg. The included black belt can cinch up your skirt for easy manuvering.

Whether you're serving nobles and peasants, we're sure that they'll appreciate your perfect pours. Par this look with a beer stein and wig to make your transformation complete. You'll be glad you outfitted yourself with this classic look at the Renaissance festival or for your next costumed event. Just remember, you're an essential part of the tavern experience!
Imagine you are hard at work running your busy Renaissance-era tavern, pouring ale and slinging stew for weary travelers and local regulars. Do you picture yourself wearing an elegant gown, with pretty slippers and streamers in your hair? Or, would you rather be decked out in this Tavern Maiden Costume, and show everyone how to really have a good time?If you're like us, most of our knowledge of Renaissance times comes from faires and movies based on Shakespeare plays. These probably aren't the most historically accurate sources, but they sure paint a fun scene, and one of the staples of this scene is the humble tavern. Taverns seem to be where all the good stuff happened back then. It's where you went for food, drink, warmth, news, and to look for work. And in many taverns, there was a tough talking gal running the show. She kept things from getting too rowdy, and also made sure everyone had a drink in their hand and a room for the night. Well, if they had coin to spare, that is.This Renaissance-inspired costume is a fun way to step into the part of a tavern keeper, or many other roles from "ye olde times." The earthy and warm colored dress and corset would look right at home in an old village full of hardworking people who know how to let their hair down. Just slip on a pair of sturdy, sassy boots, and you'll be all ready to handle tonight's crowd at your imaginary tavern from earlier, or to let your imagination run wild at the Renaissance Festival!
Ruling is hard work. Just look at the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. You might think these guys lives were a breeze but if you dig a little deeper, you might find that things weren't quite so grand. Sure, the ruled an entire Empire, but when they decided to build a Sphinx or a Pyramid, it would take so long to finish it that it wouldn't even be completed in their lifetime!We guess that these Egyptians had the long game in mind, and perhaps they just wanted some sweet pyramids to hang out in after they became mummies. Well, you don't have to become a mummy or wait for your pyramids to be built to become an ancient ruler. Just grab this signature Ancient Pharoah costume, and prepare to command the land of the Nile.

You've got Spear ItIf you've ever fancied yourself as a fierce warrior, then chances are, you've been on the hunt for a good weapon. Daggers are nice, but they lack range (and reach is very important when facing foes at close range)! Axes are nice, but they're a little to cleave-y for some. Those can also be a little hard to wield for anyone whose skills with weapons aren't as strong as their fierce attitude. No, what you need is a weapon that's as ancient as humanity itself. You need a weapon with the reach to tackle anything that comes at you with their bare hands. You need a pointy stick! You need...the spear!Design & DetailsThis ancient looking spear brings is a toy weapon that harnesses the power of a spear with the look that's inspired by the weapons used by various warriors in time. The prop weapon is made of plastic, but the tip looks like it's made of bone, while the shaft looks like it's made out of wood.Safety FirstRunning around with a toy spear is a lot of fun, but you're no caveman warrior out on the prowl for Mastodons... make sure you play safe with this toy spear and not throw it at the unsuspecting.

Mystery at Grimshaw HallThe life of a noble maiden is usually pretty quiet. Days were spent sewing and wandering through the gardens and evenings were spent in the hall, listening to the harpsichord. That's what Lizbeth was expecting when she came to live in Grimshaw Hall. But the first night, she heard someone crying from the floor above her chamber. When she asked, her lady's maid insisted that she couldn't hear anything. A week later, she heard the sound again. This time she went to investigate. Bringing along her lady's maid, she crept along the dark halls of the manor. They snuck along the staircase, her lady's maid pulling at her skirts, asking to turn back before every corner.

Queen of QuantityMarie Antionette is most known for her love of the extravagant. Her lush tastes applied to everything. She was so into desserts that she brought her personal chocolate maker with her when she moved to Versailles to marry Louis XVI. He created groundbreaking desserts just for the queen and her cohort. She lived in one of the most extravagant palaces in Europe but once she got sick of remodeling the grounds over and over again, she had a provincial farm town built just for her. She and her friends would dress up in maids clothes and pretend to take care of the animals. The, of course, there was her style. Her luxurious look has been gushed over for centuries.

Hair with AttitudeDo you know those times when you wake up with a hopeless bad hair day? You take one glance in the mirror and you know there's nothing you can do. You could break out your hair straightener, ramp up your hair mousse, or call on all the bobby pins in your arsenal but that cowlick in the back of your head is still going to stick up straight.

Dauphin DudsMany know Louis the 16th as one of the most famous of the French kings. In fact, he was the last king of France! The details around the end of his monarchy aren't particularly fun to recall but many forget that it started at a pretty young age. He was never expected to become the king since he was the second born. That let him focus on learning everything from Latin to astronomy.

(That one took a few trips to the hospital before you perfected it!) And don’t you hold a patent for a mega-jumbo-automatic flyswatter that can smash all the flies in a room at once? (Yes, it also smashes all your furniture, but don’t be negative!) Now, if you could only perfect your spring-soled shoes that also do your taxes as you bounce to work, you know you’d earn the fame and fortune you deserve!But be careful… There are other inventors out there who are eager to steal your ideas. Just look at Thomas Edison. He stole your lightbulb idea right before you were about to patent it! Well… he did come up with the idea of using electricity while you were trying to use raspberry jelly. But he definitely stole the overall idea!

Notable NobilityWhen most people want to dress up like royalty, they probably automatically think of a prince or princess costume first. Usually, in romantic tales, you’re trying to win the heart of a prince or princess so you can become one yourself. However, we don’t always see the appeal in having to wait in line for the throne. Why not skip right to the front and become the monarch yourself? If you’re interested in holding a little more power than a princess, why not be a queen instead? And while dressing like fictional or historical royals can be fun, their outfits are often a little outdated. If you’re looking to flaunt your noble station with some modern style, we have just the thing!Design & DetailsThroughout her early life, Queen Elizabeth II was a style icon. In her later decades, that hasn’t changed, although her fashion sense has. While she was very fond of stylish dresses in years past, now she’s more known for her bold, bright skirt suits. And she almost always has a hat to match. We wanted to make a hat for the modern queen, so we chose to imitate one of her fuchsia choices. This soft, bright pink hat features red feathers on the front for a bold color combination. We hope you’ll feel like royalty in this daring hat!
What are kings up to these days? They might have nice cars, live in mansions, and wear golden watches. They might employ suited up men with earbuds. The thing is, even if a king gets driven in a nice car these days that automobile is nothing compared to a golden chariot. That fancy mansion isn't much compared to alabaster columns. Really, just take a gander at the pyramids, they are just the king's graves! So, yeah. When we're talking about kings, we know who did it best!You may have heard about Tutankhamun, Ramesses, and Amenhotep being supreme rulers and sure, they all lived a pretty lush lifestyle. They were followed by guys in skirts who constantly fanned him with palm frons. They were seen as Gods with large headdresses, makeup to the max, and crazy stiff beards. But even with all of that pomp and circumstance, none of those pharaohs could rock the Casbah like this guy- paleontologists have translated the hieroglyphs on his epitaph as Partyonman. The name fits, this King had the sweetest party pyramid in all of the land, a golden tube in his burial chamber hints that he might have invented the first beer bong. Quite a legacy!You won't have trouble convincing underlings to carry you into parties when you're wearing this costume. It includes a sleeveless pullover, gold trimmed tank with a gold trimmed skirt. You'll also get a royal headdress, gauntlets, and a faux leather medallion with a jewel on a necklace. You'll feel like solid gold and you'll look like a king but not just any ruler, King Partyonman!
Monstrous MaidenMedusa is a fairly well-known character in Greek mythology. One of the three Gorgon sisters, she is most known for her hair made of snakes and her ability to turn anyone who looks at her to stone. Although ancient Greek artists imagined her as a monster, most later works depict her as beautiful (other than her hideous hair).

However, other versions are more sympathetic to her plight. If you’d like to tell your own version of the story (or just have the power to turn people to stone), perhaps you’d enjoy dressing up as this character!Design & DetailsIf you’ve cooked up your own Gorgon outfit and all you need is some reptilian hair, then you might like this Adult Medusa Snake Wig!

Comeback QueenHere's the difference between princesses and queens. Princesses are given their title, queens have to fight for theirs. And as fighting for the throne goes, Cleopatra's story stands out loud and proud. In the beginning, she was pushed from the throne. Banned from her own land. Did she let that stop her? No! When Caeser was staying in an Egyptian palace, Cleopatra had her servants roll her into a carpet. Then they casually carried her into the palace (we like to imagine them whistling like they do in cartoons). As soon as they unfurled their lovely monarch in front of Caeser he fell head over heels and she made a bid for the throne. It wasn't long before she was ruling again. If that's not a power play, we don't know what is!Details & DesignWe're sure the Egyptian queen would stamp her seal of approval on this Made by Us Cleopatra costume! Our designers created this piece in a nod to the Egyptian style that was popular for the country's hot climate. The unique look features a white bodysuit under a sheer flowing gown with subtle gold stripes. The gown is accented with a stunning gold collar and belt, beaded for ultimate shimmer power. With sheer layers, sparkling gold, and a flattering cut, this costume will be a legendary ensemble at any costumed event.Ultimate Look, No De-NileCleopatra really knew how to make an entrance.

LITTLE SISTER GOES BIGTIMEThe myth of the Gorgons goes largely unknown by many, despite the fact that just about everyone has heard of Medusa. Did you know that Medusa is just one sister among a trio? She's the youngest gal of the three serpent-haired and cursed aquatic sisters who could turn mortals to stone with just a gaze. While Stheno and Euryale might have been immortal, it was only Medusa that made the history books! Talk about a little sister with things to do. Unfortunately, the youngest Gorgon sister doesn't have much happiness to her tale. Cursed by Athena for no good reason, Medusa became a horrible monster that everyone feared... at least until another demigod showed up with a whole bunch of blessed divine artifacts and beheaded her! Of course, we're talking about a time of magic and mystery. And now is the time to rewrite some of that story! DESIGN & DETAILSDespite it being really tough to create a design based off a gal that is impossible to look at, our designers have worked a miracle and created this legendary look. Our exclusive Deluxe Medusa Costume is a green and scale-printed bodysuit that will give you the serpentine sway that tempts all mortals. It has the added detail of extending along your hand with a ring sleeve. The bronze halter dress drapes around your hips with a long Grecian drape between your legs. The final detail is a luxurious green faux gem brooch that matches the scales. Pick up a serpent wig or detailed bow and take your revenge on Perseus and Athena! A PETRIFYING POSEWhen you are garbed up as this glorious Gorgon, know that the striking the right pose may stiffen folks into stone. You'll want to practice this with care to make sure it doesn't happen by accident because there aren't many ways to fix the cursed power of this exclusive Medusa Costume.
Olympus's Next Top GoddessAll those stories we heard about the gods and goddesses of Greece and Rome are out of date. Like a hundred seasons out of date. The social ladder in those high altitude mountains is always changing. And lucky enough, we've finally gotten a camera crew up there to put together the first immortal reality show! When we dropped in on the celestial palace Zeus had finally split up from Hera to retire and run a vineyard with Dionysus. Good timing because we got to watch the struggle for power unravel before us. Folks assumed that Hera would run the show but other folks threw their laurel crowns in the ring. Aphrodite had a lot of support from gods and men alike. Apollo got plenty of screen time with his entertaining speeches and musical interludes. And then there was Mercury. This trickster god had been sending messages back and forth through the ages, meaning he's got the inside scoop behind each and every candidate. We'd call that an extreme political advantage! Are you ready to join the drama? This golden goddess look will have you feeling camera ready in no time!Product Details & DesignThis Made-By-Us look is a unique blend of toga and wrap dress. No fiddling with drapery required, our in-house designers made sure of that! The lightweight fabric is trimmed with a Grecian inspired pattern along the hem of the dress and the cape. The ensemble is polished with a leaf-patterned belt, geometric bracelets, and feathered combs for your hair. Simply strap on your sandals and you'll be ready to make your Olympus debut!Immortal IdolsIt's not hard to make an entrance when you're an immortal. Make it even more epic when you pair up with the other gods and goddesses from the legends. After all, there's nothing like a little deity drama to make any party unforgettable!

Hoist the Mainsail! Captaining your very own ship would be such a dream job? Why? Because you'd get to boss everybody around, from the first mate to the cabin boys. "Swab the decks!" you'd call.

No need to worry: That just means that you have to stock your galley with all of the prepackaged, long-lasting snack foods your parents don't like you to eat.
What a Novel IdeaSmall talk can be so boring. What's the weather been up to? How's work? Do you think that paint that we're watching on the wall is dry yet? It's time we went back to a time when making conversation was an art. A time when you couldn't quite come out with your true opinions but you could certainly waltz around any subject you liked for an hour or two in the drawing room. A time when Jane Austen was a master at crafting stories around human interactions!Details & Design Want to look right at home strolling through an English garden while contemplating a new composition for your novel? Our exclusive Jane Austen costume will make you feel like a 19th century novelist in an instant. This costume includes a long dress cinched with a pink ribbon at the waist. It has a square neckline and a sheer sleeve. It can be worn with or without the cropped jacket with its gorgeous puffed sleeves with pleats and buttons down the front. The whole ensemble is topped with a beautiful blue bonnet that's accented with a thick shiny ribbon that fastens in a bow under the chin, we'll call that Jane's thinking cap. Ladies and GentlemenThe 19th century was a time of Pride & Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and so many other novels with perfectly quotable moments. And don't get us wrong, we know that Jane broke the mold chapter by chapter. Being an author wasn't an extremely ladylike profession. In fact, no profession was ladylike. But at the same time, she brought the lady's lifestyle into open air for common people to read. In fact, thanks to her gentle turn of phrase, we can still imagine that ladylike lifestyle when we curl up with one of Miss Austen's legendary books. It's time to get your quote on with a costume that pays tribute to Jane Austen's lovely wit.
Coming at 'chaCleopatra might have been lost to history if she didn't know how to make an entrance. Seriously! She wasn't first in line. She was a woman. She could easily have lost her power. But she wanted to rule and she would stop at nothing to make that happen. When her brother cast her out of Alexandria, the capital of Egypt, she simply waited until Caeser came to visit and talk politics. She then had her servants roll her in a rug that was a "gift" for the ruler of Rome. They unfurled her before the Roman general and let her make the first impression for the history books. With her grace, wit, and wisdom, Cleo convinced the military genius that it would be better if she took over the Egyptian rule instead of her troublesome brother. And that, friends, is history. Product DetailsIt takes a lot of confidence to rule like legendary Cleopatra and no ensemble says confidence quite like this look. In classy black and gold, this costume features a geometric bodysuit with a sheer panel at the front and back, framing the hips. You'll love the combination of long sleeves and dramatic V-neck. A zipper up the back and snap at the crotch makes bathroom breaks and costume changes a breeze. Topped off with a beaded cobra headpiece, you'll look every inch the queen as soon as you slip into this Cleopatra costume.Asp Her No QuestionsWe can only imagine all the secrets that Cleopatra had when she met her untimely end. She knew the secrets of Rome as well as ancient Egypt. But as we're not even sure that the stories we tell about this legendary are true or not, we just have to put ourselves in her place and imagine the secrets she carried. It's your turn to live the legend!

A Little Home on the Open PlainsLife for early settlers could be challenging. Sometimes, they lived in sod houses that literally started out as holes in the ground! They had dirt for floors and dirt for ceilings, and there was no indoor plumbing. They had to grow and hunt almost all of their own food, and they could get snowed in during blizzards for weeks at a time. (Talk about going stir crazy!) Farming was even more difficult 150 years ago than it is today, since they didn't have tractors or other modern machinery. And it could take hours to get to the nearest town, since they didn't have cars and had to rely on cranky mules or horses.But there was still some fun despite all the hard work. Settler kids got to play exciting games like "Who Has the Button?", where one kid would guess which other kid in the group had a button, and "Cat's Cradle," where they used string to make shapes. Okay, maybe those aren't the most exciting games... But they also got to wear really cute pioneer dresses!Product DetailsWhether she's out on the prairie, on the banks of Plum Creek, in the Big Woods or on the shores of Silver Lake, your little settler will feel right at home in this Girl's Red Frontier Settler Costume. The cute long-sleeved dress dress is 100 percent polyester and has an adorable white pinafore sewn to the front at the waist and shoulders. The dress has a hook-and-loop fastener at the back center, along with elastic at the waist and sleeve cuffs for a comfy fit. There's also a lovely petticoat underneath. The costume comes with a brown checkered bonnet that has a stiffened brim, elastic at the back and same-fabric chin ties.A Pretty PioneerWith this Girl's Red Frontier Settler Costume, your little pioneer will be ready to rule her one-room school house and always take first place at every game involving a piece of string!
Is your daughter a strong leader? When it comes to recess is she the one who organizes the races or decides what that group is going to pretend that day? Maybe she's always volunteering to read in class or bringing that science project to the next level. However she uses her leadership skills, you know that she could do anything, even lead a nation. When she was eighteen years old Cleopatra was put on the throne alongside her ten-year-old brother. She enjoyed a couple of years of power but when she got older her brother banished her. After that she probably let things go, right? Ha! Nope. She had some servants roll her up in a carpet and sneak her back into the palace when her brother was having a visitor, Caesar, you know, the super famous leader? Yep, so she meets up in secret with this guy who had a much larger army than her brother and convinces the guy that she should be the one on the throne. How's that for leadership? She might have been wearing a costume very similar to this when she enrolled herself from the tapestry. She would probably have been wearing a golden light weight dress and the traditional Egyptian golden collar and belt. With the undeniable stance of a Queen and her legendary diplomatic skills, it's no wonder that Caesar sided with the celebrated Cleopatra. When your little girl dresses up as this mighty queen she's sure to feel as powerful as that immortal heroine that ruled in 51BC. Maybe she's dressing up for a school project or maybe she wants an imperial Halloween costume this year, either way, this Cleopatra Halloween costume is sure to support her leadership aspirations. She knows better than anyone, that a queen doesn't follow the crowd, the crowd follows you.
