Haus of Holbein

Haus of Holbein is the fifth song in SIX the Musical, coming between Jane Seymour's and Anna of Cleves' solo. It's a song making fun of women's beauty standards in the 1500s, and how the beautifying practices may have been harmful to the girls, but it wasn't important as long as they looked good for men. The song is also about Hans Holbein, a painter who would create the portraits the king would look at to choose his next wife.

Trivia

 * Most of the lines in the song are given to different queens in the live versions.
 * The line "For blonder hair ... you just add a magical ingredient from your bladder" is a reference to how the women might have put urine in their hair to make it brighter.
