Cleopatra

October 19, 2011
Now that the whole Beatrice debacle is over, Teddy is able to get back to her normal life. To get her away from her reality TV obsession, Nibs bought her a copy of Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff.
Teddy can relate to this Egyptian queen because she fought with her entire family--her brother even tried to kill her! (Teddy doesn't have a brother that has tried to kill her, but her mother has in the past delivered some deadly insults!)
No one really knew for sure what Cleopatra looked like, but they will say she was charismatic (like Teddy!).
Finally, like Teddy, Cleopatra had a love of pearls! NO KIDDING (look at the book's cover, that's Cleopatra with pearls in her hair, a look she loved). And she liked lots of other stones too, like rubies, which you can see in these dangly earrings above. Is Teddy the new Cleopatra? Maybe.
