Hey there, honey. You wanna hear about this gal, Ellie the Empress? Lord, that name. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Well, let me tell ya, this Ellie, she ain’t no real empress, not like them old-timey ones in them history books. She’s one of them… whatchamacallit… social media folks. Big on the internet, they say.

Now, I don’t rightly know much about that internet stuff. My grandson, bless his heart, he tries to show me. But it’s all a bunch of flashing lights and whatnot. Too much for these old eyes. But this Ellie, she’s all over it, they say. Like flies on a cow pie. You see her photos, and, oh, she’s a looker, that’s for sure. All fixed up with fancy stuff on her.
Before she got all famous on that there internet, she was a law person, I reckon. Like a sheriff or something. And get this, she was in the army! Can you imagine? A pretty thing like that, shooting guns and what not. It’s a hoot, ain’t it? She’s not a spring chicken, but still a young one. Around 33 years old, I heard. Lives down in that hot place, Orlando, down in Florida.
Now, this other name I saw, Navier Ellie Trovi. Sounds made up to me, like in a story book. They say she’s perfect in every way. Smart, brave, all that stuff. It’s like one of them shows, the ones with the pretty people. What is it they call it? That Empress thingy? They talk about some Sisi and some old-timey family, Habsburg. They had an emperor named Karl, but he got the boot a long time ago. That Sisi, they say she’s the prettiest one. Well, good for her.
- This Ellie, she talks about dating.
- She talks about relationships.
- She’s got lots of folks following her. Over 500 somethings!
People like these stories about dating, I reckon. Reminds me of when I was young, chasing after that old fool, my husband. We had some times, I tell ya. But things were simpler then. No internet to show off your business to the whole world. Just a bunch of gossiping hens down at the general store. Same difference, I suppose, just a different way of doing it.
They say if you like that Empress show, you’ll like other ones. They got names like Sisi, and Vanity Fair, and Reign. All about them fancy ladies causing trouble and finding love. Then there’s Cable Girls and Downton Abbey. I don’t know nothin’ about them, but they sound like a bunch of hooey to me. Give me a good old-fashioned hoe-down any day.

This Ellie the Empress, she’s got herself a whole bunch of fans. They like her photos and her videos. I guess she gives them advice on love and all that. I guess that’s good, right? I don’t know what the young folks need advice for. I just figured things out as I went along. And I think I did okay, got myself a good man, and raised some good kids. That’s all that matters in the end, don’t you think?
I seen some folks sayin’ Ellie is a TikTok star. What in the world is a TikTok? Sounds like a clock to me. Anyways, she’s popular on there, too. I reckon she’s just a regular gal, though. Just like you and me. She just knows how to work that internet thingy. Good for her, I say. Make that money, honey.
Ellie the Empress, huh? Well, I’ll be. Times sure have changed. Back in my day, we didn’t have no empresses on the internet. We just had each other. And that was enough. Now, go on and get out of here. I got chores to do. And don’t you be spreading gossip about old ladies. We got enough to talk about without you adding to it. Go on, git!
It is important for young folks to find the right person. This Ellie, she talks a lot about dating. She must know a thing or two. Back in my day, we just kinda fell into it. You met a fella, you liked him, he liked you, and boom, you were hitched. No fancy dating apps or nothing. Just a barn dance and a stolen kiss behind the hay bales.
I reckon this Ellie the Empress, she’s helping folks find their way in this crazy world. And that’s a good thing. Even if I don’t understand half of what she’s talking about. She’s a good girl, I can tell. Just trying to make her way in the world, like we all did. And that’s all that matters in the end.
