Donna Quixote of Greater Atlanta and Sancha

Image
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such rose is as bright as my cheeks;
And in no perfume is there more delight,
Than in the breath that from my kisser speaks;
Image
¿You see, Sancha? Just as I have told you, my fame is boundless! Look, even this poor, Nigerian businessman has given me $100 mil, just on account of my charm and wit!
Image
Yes... Bring your finest automobile... Yes, I suppose a limousine will do... If it has a jacuzzi...
Image
Ah, Sancha, I propose a toast. To me. And my new wealth. And to the golden age of obscene wealth in general, to a time when carefree, luxurious decadence was a way of life for us, the elite. Nigel, take us to the mall!
Image
Sancha, feast your eyes upon this splendid array of garments. Turkish black angora, cashmere, astrakhan, pashmina, charmeuse, tulle, calico, foulard, organdy. I must have one of everything.
Image
Look, they have even designed a tunic in my honour, with my breastplate embroidered in 24-karat. Even Cleopatra herself knew nothing of such delicacies. I will have one of these, too.
Image
My autograph? Yes, it is flattering to have the opportunity to enrich the simple life of an impoverished peasant. For we are all created equal, so even the poor deserve to be occasionally touched by grace.
Image
later that afternoon...
Such a fine day for an afternoon promenade. Ooooh, the paparazzi! They are everywhere.
Image
Oh, you're just jealous for the spotlight.
Image
Au revoir... adieu, arrivederci!
Image
...yes, may I ask who is calling? ...Debt collectors...? $100,000,000? Oh heavens!
Image
My adoring fans? Oh, they'll feign any excuse for a chat. No, you're right. Tell them I am having my afternoon bath.
Image
Ah, All in a day's work...
