Balasha or Helene Cantacuzène?
January 21, 2013
Just as I thought I could take a break from working on some blog posts – I have had to take a break for a while – I received an email from eagle eyed Ian Dunkin who thinks the Balasha picture I just posted may actually be of her sister Helene.
I leave the debate to you but it is a good excuse to put up a slide show of some pictures of the two beauties.

It’s obviously Helene, if the one following it is of her, for the clothes, hat, hairstyle etc are exactly the same in every minute detail, it’s the same woman anyway facially. Must have been taken in the same session. No argument possible!
It is Helene-note the nose and short upper lip-very different from her sister.
