Sissy

The Hungarians really liked Sissy, the 19th century empress who later became Queen of Hungary. Sissy was legendarily beautiful, rode horses a lot, had a training room and have been able to wear her wedding dress even after her last childbirth. She also took great care of her long hair. The maids combed and groomed her hair - and they worried, because the Queen always got very angry when she saw too much hair falling out on the floor. One of the maids (according to the anecdote) used to put sticky tape on the bottom of her skirt to collect the hairs while she was combing. This kept the Queen in good spirits.
