Not Cleopatra

Ok, so it's definitely not Cleopatra but it's certainly more nubile than the only truly 'authentic' image of Cleopatra previously discussed.  I wonder what she's thinking?  And how heavy were those wigs?  Surely they would have been hot and uncomfortable to wear, and itchy?  Ancient Egypt was pretty much entirely desert after all.  I wonder if the Ancient Egyptians were the first people to build sand castles?  Did they invent sandpits?  Sandbags?  Not sandwiches, I know that much already.  But then whoever believed the ridiculous story that the Earl Of Sandwich, or his valet, invented sandwiches?  Does anyone really believe that people hadn't slipped something tasty to eat between two bits of bread before the eighteenth century?  Ha!  I'll bet this pretty lady wouldn't have said no to a bacon butty.
