This young stage beauty has grabbed the eye,
And when Meer becomes Million, you will see why.
A brazen brand for a brazen way,
This bloody smear is a shameful pay -
Even for this miniscule ruiner,
Of sound and sight does slay.
Reviving France on the back of a tiny flower,
Or resurrecting Tara to her former power?
* Full working out needed to get the goose on this one :)
*Takes a walk through Memphis*

Reviving France on the back of a tiny flower,
Or resurrecting Tara to her former power? (Formerly a tear in Avalokiteshvara's left eye)

Crap, I'm stretching.

Sorry, thats not the right track.
Hint: begin by seperating out the couplets.
Damn this is a lot of digging!!!
Good one,
Is it confessions of an ugly stepsister?

Tell me if I'm hitting anything here.
witch, ocean, scar, age
Does the Tara reference refer to a Buddhist Goddesses?
If so...what color?
The phrase " A brazen brand for a brazen way," is bugging the shit out of me!

No, the Tara reference is not to Buddhism :)
I assumed it was to Gone with the Wind?

Jean's on the right track!
The answer to the riddle is the common factor between each section.

Nope ;)
The riddle title has nothing to do with the answer.
Jean pretty much has it, but there's 5 answers im looking for.
Reviving France on the back of a tiny flower might refer to Scarlet Pimpernel, and something else to scarlet fever, but my English isn't sufficient to even understand the clues... http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_sad.gif

You're almost there for the first couplet .. A knowledge of current hollywood actresses and what movies theyve done in the last few years is required.
Jon: Scarlet letter is correct.
Bears are better with vermeers than with current hollywood actresses... http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_sad.gif

Think of a movie with the same title as one of his paintings :)
Ryan, stands on the shoulders of all the good guessers before him and calls out: Scarlett Johansson in the "Girl with a Pearl Earring"?
As soon as I heard Scarlett, Vermeer, and recent movies it clicked.

And Ryan finishes it off nicely, well done everyone !
*open goose market*
"Scarlett Johansson" Oh I should have thought.
Well played Ryan!
