The Devil's Great Grandmother Didn't Wear Prada



Elizabeth "Bess" Cavendish (formerly Hervey, later Lady Foster), the second wife of the Duke of Devonshire (although she participated in a 'menage a trois' relationship with both he and his 1st wife for nearly 25 years) is the great-great-great grandmother of famed (people eating) editor of Vogue Magazine. Yes, Bess was quite an 18th century beauty, and apparently much more likable (and she seemed pretty cool with sharing things too) than the more recent model. But is it just me, or does Anna Wintour kind of resemble her ancestor (minus the needless sunnies)? Creepy.
