All I need is a red ribbon in my fur to be dressed for Bastille Day!

Well, today in our little ville we will be celebrating the overthrow of Louis XVI in 1789 and autocratic, egomaniacal, suppressive rule of the lower and middle classes in France who were called “sans culottes”, without underpants. A derogatory name for the peasants and poor classes who were, at the time of the overthrow, starving while the king raked in money from taxation and from cutting off any social services on which he would have to spend to maintain.

Sound familiar?

This is what came of the revolt.

There will be music and celebrations and fireworks in a nearby village (our village has them on August 15) and mama will wear red, white and blue.  As for what’s under, that’s a secret, haha.
