Three Muses Challenge - Land of Odd

Bev has given us "Land of Odd" as our theme of the week and this is very serendipitous for me as I know the true story, having been a student of the history of this small nation, ruled for centuries by the Baguette royal family or, as we say in the French "La Baguette Famille Royale".  The Land of Odd was a tiny principality and, sadly, to maintain the royal line, the Baguette family was forced to arrange marriages within its own small circle.    The outcome was that some family members were genetically challenged.  (See portrait of the Princess Genetica above).
The gown is an Ozstuffe Originale, painted in ArtRage.  The image is one I have had in my stash for a long time.  I think it came from Stockxchange.  The crown is by Lorie Davison and some of the ephemera is from Irene Alexeeva.
