Dressed as Queen Victoria? Ridiculous. That garish outfit is like nothing the English queen would EVER have worn in the sixty-odd years of her reign (1839-1901). In fact, no one except paying card queen or cartoon character would ever have sported such a cartoony dress.

Is the idea of a portrait mask in frozen blood taken from a recent novel? Or vice versa? See Lauren Kelly's (pseud. of Joyce Carol Oates) 2009 novel Blood Mask http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Mask-Suspense-Lauren-Kelly/dp/0061119032
