Five reasons why Marie Antoinette is my favorite female historical figure:
1. She knew what she wanted and got it.
2. She had great taste.
3. She had mirrors on her bedroom ceiling.
4. She was a proponent of masturbation.
5. She was hot. It's a fact.
So when I saw these, I immediately thought of her:

Tea lights that smell like cake when you light them; how very bourgeois.
Post bonus! A mini history lesson: Marie Antoinette never really said "Let them eat cake" when asked what the starving peasants should do. She actually said, "Let them eat bread" but wasn't snarky about it. She sincerely thought that the king should provide bread.
