What century was I meant to be in?

This morning it was mentioned that I may be from 18th Cent. France. A revolutionary girl... I've always known that I look like I could've walked out of a variety of eras, all but the contemporary one. I love dressing in period garb, and much to the delight of some, I feel rather special being laced up and petticoated. When I did Yeoman of the Guard last fall, one of the ladies involved (Christiane Noll's mother, if you're a theatre geek) told me every night that I looked like "The Girl With the Pearl Earring."
I like to think that not every girl can look like she stepped out of a painting.
