Madame Pompadour - need I say more

The most sylish woman of all time-just to inventory and sell her possessions took two years!! I adore Sevres french porcelain and have traveled the world collecting it and she funded the royal factory which you can still visit today on the outskirts of Paris. Every time I need a pick me up I read about the Pompadour. I even have a room upstairs in her favorite color hung with her portrait.
