"Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet?"  So asked the Bard, himself.

Well, we're going to steal from Mr. Shakespeare and ask,  "Would a wrap by any other name be as versatile?"

We ask the question because there are a variety of words used to describe that particular fashion accessory, long worn and prized by women throughout the ages: shawl, stole, scarf, Pashmina (used by some, now, as a catch-all word) and simply, wrap.

We put The Travelista's video on the main page of our Pashmina, Scarves & Shawls category - for the "how to wear" tips, and a reminder of how highly versatile wraps/shawls/scarves really are.

Then we remembered that stuck in our archives, we have a photo of our own fearless leader, standing on the gondola dock of the Grand Canal in Venice, with a wrap tucked around her hair.

Bottom photo:  ready for the Grand Canal  - all wrapped up!

And if you're saying, "But wait, who is it really? I can't see her face."  Well, she's chuckling and saying, "Good - stay in the shadows, be a little mysterious."  Hm...  is it really her?

But she did insist that we add this YouTube video to the post; and it is a delight: Charles Aznavour singing Com'e Triste Venezia, as  photos of beautiful Venice glide by.
