Diane, you have a beautiful name! I’ve always found Diane De Poitiers to be very fascinating. Too bad about her sad ending. I’m sure history won’t repeat itself. These days we have safe cosmetics, thankfully!

My mother read about her in a romance novel 4 days before my birth.

The author of the novel wrote of Diane’s striking beauty and intelligence in great detail. Being a romance novel creative license was taken, and stories of her endless beauty and many accomplishments were embellished.

My mother, bless her soul wanted these things for me. She’d hoped I’d be a 70 year old woman with the face of a girl of 20, and that I’d have a long and successful career.

Unfortunately, the romance novel did not explain how Diane ultimately died. I can only hope that part of legend plays no part in my life!

Amanda, I’m glad you do. I completely agree with you. There are some things that just aren’t worth doing in the name of beauty. It makes you wonder if she realised how bad the gold elixir was for her health though…

This one is definitely interesting. But I doubt why she could live as long for all the poisons she had taken. For me, I wouldn’t poison myself even for beauty’s sake! Beauty is important but my life is even more so.
