  There are some items of clothing or accessories that are synonymous with a certain character or style. The leather jacket will forever be associated with rebellion and adventure through its military connections and its use by leading men in Hollywood movies. And large dark sunglasses, the type worn by Jackie Onassis or Sophia Loren, will always give the wearer added sophistication and confidence.
  
  There is one item that has all this; glamour Replica Ray Ban Sunglasses, sophistication, rebelliousness and confidence. The tiara.
  
  The tiara is perhaps the one item of jewellery, the one accessory that can truly transform a person's appearance and bestow on them an added sense of importance and status. It has been worn by so many people and has such a colorful history that there is not much that the tiara cannot convey, be it wealth, power or humility. It is a truly adaptable item.
  
  A tiara is in fact a form of crown but legend suggests that this particular form of crown was invented by the Greek gods. They called it a Diadem which means 'to bind around' and were made from flowers and plants. The tiara became the head dress of choice for kings and Emperors in ancient kingdoms such as Mesopotamia. It became know as a tiara in Persia where it was also decorated with jewels and precious stones, something the Romans also did.
  
  As well as rulers of countries and kingdoms the tiara was favored by the Roman Catholic Church. Known for its elaborate ceremony and wealth it's perhaps not surprising that the church adopted the tiara as its own. The Papal tiara was an elaborate design that incorporated symbolism representing Christ, power and authority.
  
  The tiara is still favored by the world's most powerful leaders and was in the news recently when Queen Elisabeth II sat for a portrait by the renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz. It was reported that Things didn't run smoothly and that Leibevitz asked the Queen to take off the tiara that she was wearing as it was 'too showy'.
  
  It is also believed that Queen Elisabeth has the largest and most valuable tiara collection in the world. The collection is made up of heirlooms and items she has inherited as well as gifts from other countries and state leaders. But it's not just royalty who favor wearing a tiara as a symbol of there wealth, power or status.
  
  When pop star Madonna married film director Guy Ritchie in 2000 she wore a 78 carat diamond tiara. The tiara had 765 diamonds and was unusual in that Wholesale Ray Bans, through the removal of some pieces, it could be turned into a necklace. The tiara was a beautiful example of Edwardian jewellery and could be traced back to 1910.
  
  Perhaps the most famous non royal ever to wear a tiara is Audrey Hepburn. She appeared on screen wearing a tiara, most notably in Roman Holiday, and exposed the item of jewellery to a whole new generation. It could also be argued that the image of her wearing a tiara led to the production of cheaper, more affordable tiaras from high street stores. In the same way that Marlon Brando popularized the leather jacket and James Dean popularized the white t-shirt and blue jeans, Audrey Hepburn popularized the tiara.
  
  And the powerful symbolism of the tiara wasn't lost on comic book writer William Moulton Marston when he created Wonder Woman in 1941. Wonder Woman was an Amazon, from the idea based in Greek mythology. Part of her outfit was a magic tiara that was crafted from Greek god Apollo's discuss. The Greek association was also very apt as that was where the tiara is believed to have originated.

  
  

  The high altitude is detectable: some airtight wrapped cookie packs explode. We have our altimeter: A bottle - tightly closed at 4900m - is getting "stiff" as we approach the maximum elevation of 5070m. At the moment, the bottle looks wrinkled, as we return to below 4200 meters.

  
  

  We pass 5075m. The highest point accessible by train. A great feeling, but neither land nor humans and animals seem to share our excitement. Outside, there is no snow and the water looks rather watery - no ice. Yaks, sheep or goats do not display signs of enthusiasm. Also Fake Ray Bans, the people - mostly shepherds - are not really affected by the feat of engineering.

  
  

  Have now been more than 8 hours over 4000m with around 100 km/h on the train track. The area is huge! Slowly we feel the lack of air! Beside us a little giant. This should probably be more than 6000m. However, it does not feel so much because we are already at 4000m. Interestingly, there is almost no snow and it looks hot outside. At a station with an unutterable Chinese name we go outside for fresh air. Fresh yes, but air? We hope that we will somehow get used to the altitude. There are a lot of yaks outside and none of them wears an oxygen mask. But it is likely that the yaks feed from the said root. So we copy them and drink even more of our brew. Tastes shitty, so it should have a good effect.

  
  

  After 24 hours on the train we meet in an ultramodern railway station in Lhasa. Unfortunately, there are still some aftereffects of last year's riots to be felt. There are a lot of army around the station. Buses are not allowed to drive up to the arrival hall, resulting in a walk of 10min for each tourist. Normally, no problem. However, there is a little problem if the tourists come from a train with oxygen supply and suddenly experience the "normal" low-oxygen air in Lhasa at 3650m altitude and have to carry their own suitcases. Perhaps this is a test of the qualities of tourists. Our tour group seems to pass the test.
