Tiara

A tiara (from Latin: tiara, from Ancient Greek: τιάρα) is a jeweled, ornamental crown worn by women. It is worn during formal occasions, particularly if the dress code is white tie.

History

Today the word "tiara" is often used interchangeably with the word "diadem", and tiara is often translated to a word similar to diadem in other languages. Both words come from head ornaments worn by ancient men and women to denote high status. As Geoffrey Munn notes, "The word 'tiara' is actually Persian in origin — the name first denoted the high-peaked head-dresses of Persian kings, which were encircled by 'diadems' (bands of purple and white decoration). Now it is used to describe almost every form of decorative head ornament." Ancient Greeks and Romans used gold to make wreath-shaped head ornaments, while the Scythians' resembled a stiff halo that would serve as the inspiration for later Russian kokoshniks. The use of tiaras and diadems declined along with the decline of the Roman Empire and the rise of Christianity.

Everyday (Phil Collins song)

"Everyday" is a ballad pop song by Phil Collins released as the second single of his fifth studio album, Both Sides. It was also been released as the seventh track on 2004 compilation album, Love Songs: A Compilation... Old and New. The single achieved success mostly in North America in the spring of 1994.

History

Due to the lackluster success of the first single of the album, "Both Sides of the Story", which only peaked at No. 25 on Billboard Hot 100, Collins' record label urged the release of the second single. The decision was right, the single peaked one place higher than the previous single at No. 24 on Billboard Hot 100. However, in the UK (Collins' native country), the single performed worse than the previous single, peaking at No. 15. This song was only performed live during Collins' 1994 concerts.
