I always thought she was The Queen of the World before it was cool to say it.

For older farts , like me she was, Empress of all the red parts marked on those little tin plate globes, so popular when I was a kid. My earlier wife believed she was Queen 👑 of the Pretty Shempire, a transliteration of British Empire as heard by a Chinese speaking lass whose second language was english.
