Thursday Postcard Hunt: Formal or Fancy Dress
Formal or Fancy Dress
No one could be as fancy as The Silver Queen in Virginia City, Nevada! Dressed in 3,261 silver dollars, with 28 twenty dollar gold pieces as her belt, she can be seen at the Silver Queen Hotel & Saloon (and wedding chapel). Oh, it's also one of the most haunted spots in the state of Nevada!

Wow how heavy must the silver queen dress be
ReplyDeleteThat was exactly my thought, Joy!
ReplyDeleteHow many little girls looked on as their mothers made themselves glamorous?
Wow, that's quite a dress! Gotta have a lot of heft to it!
ReplyDeleteThe most haunted spot in Nevada? I want to go. Sadly, I doubt I'll see any ghosts, though. They seem to avoid me.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the Silver Queen. Not an easy dress to wear!
