Kaftanada's Lowest Budgeted Royal

Your Duchess

in Kaftanada

An oft-forgotten European nation that my family ruled for nearly four centuries, Kaftanada rose to prosperity during the textile boom of the Industrial Revolution, when it became the world's second least recognizable producer of the kaftan.  My royal duties as Duchess consisted of spending copious amounts of money and being seen wearing kaftans to numerous social functions, all to elevate the glamour of this oft-misunderstood garment.  

in Exile

While on vacation in fabulous Las Vegas, there was a coup in Kaftanda, ousting the Bouffrays as its royal family and leaving me stranded in Sin City.

in Performance

Homeland-less and penniless (having spent my wealth on a plenitude of high-priced vices), I now create cabaret shows, from the bathroom of my Las Vegas hotel room, to cash in on my adventures of Duchessness.
