The stamps are all queens ... Queen Beatrix of Netherlands at the top calling out to Queen Silvia of Sweden who then questions Queen Elizabeth of the Commonwealth. If you can't read the dialog ... "Queen size? Silvia! How much cooking to you do?" "Not much, Beatrix! What about you Elizabeth?" "Who has time to cook!? I've got my hands full being on all the postage!"
I've no idea to whom I will send this yet. I don't think I should send it to Netherlands, Sweden or UK for fear of upsetting a postal worker who might be quite protective of the royals :-)

PostMuse, i'd like to take this moment to tell you I think you might be the funniest mailartist I know. Man, this one is hilarious! Do you have enough stamps to do more royal dialogue? I love it...PostMuse, voice of the royals!!!

Thank you, JJ! When I'm sitting in my art room, talking through the postcard dialog to make sure I've got it right, I'm sure a passerby might think "funny" in the funny/weird sort of way, but that works for me, too :-)
I do have lots of royal postage, but some of it is male royalty from countries where I think having fun at the expense of leaders could get me in trouble. I wish there was Berlusconi postage, though, because I'd have a blast with making up dialog for that leader! I know he isn't royalty, but he thinks he is.

Some day you'll have a stamp with my 'royal' photo on it. You see, my retirement plan isn't growing by leaps & bounds, so I've decided to just marry the monarch of some small, obscure European country, and retire over there. Does Leichtenstein still exist? Last time I heard they were ruled by a Duke, which just doesn't cut it. Maybe I'll try Luxembourg. Prince Albert of Monaco took a pass on me, and decided on some other chick, so he's definitely out! Any suggestions (other than therapy)?
