OMG I saw someone who looked just like you at Versailles last Thursday! I wanted to say something to her, but that wouldve been weird. Miss you!

Mary Ann DeJoy was a force of nature, with a personality as big as the sun. She was breaking female boundaries before feminism was even defined, at a time when her brand of strength and candor was not popularly embraced. But in her warrior's heart I found unmatched warmth and perpetual grace, a queen among men.
