30/365 - I didn't know I could care so much...

First of all, a HUGE thanks to my friend Allison for tipping me off that my old blog template wouldn't accept comments. I tried to leave a comment as well with no luck. I have no idea what the problem was, other than it was 3 blog template I compiled into 1. Thanks for letting me know! I was wondering why days had gone by and no one was commenting. I'm beginning to think that no one reads this crap!

Okay... so I am seriously shocked that I care as much about this Royal Wedding as I do. We even watched some of it in my classroom yesterday morning. The first graders loved it! I however, was hung up on those hats! Why is it that the British are sooooo into crazy hats? They can spend a ton of money on an ugly hat, but they can't get their teeth fixed? I am so confused!!

Here are a few cases in point...

Okay. This woman isn't unattractive but what is with the weeds sticking out the side of her head? It makes her look like she's having one heck of a bad hair day. Those weeds should have NOT been the same color as her hair. It looks all wrong.

I have NO comment. Nothing. Nada.
Well, may be I do. This hat looks to me like a canoe all wrapped up for Christmas with a giant bow right in the center. I was unaware of the fact that you could buy a blue canoe.

Think canoe, ridiculously large flower, and bird's nest.

This look certainly doesn't detract from the bride one bit.

Nope. She's not a stand out.

She certainly LOOKS happy to be wearing this. I'm glad she was able to find some lipstick to match her millinery creation. That must have been an interesting color to try to find.

Why do I have a sudden craving for an Orange Julius?

She is going to poke someones eye out if she is not careful!

Oh David Beckham... you are truly handsome. I can see you staring at your wife's hat, the same way I am, saying to yourself... "Who the hell let you out looking like THAT?!" 



Camilla. Camilla. Camilla.
No one really likes you but your hat isn't as bad as I had expected.

Always classy. The Queen's hats always look like a birthday cake, but she's pretty classy.

Mrs. Middleton looks great! Win!

Okay... here we go.
These two looked like Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb to me.
WHAT THE HECK WAS GOING ON HERE!
I know that their mother, Sarah Ferguson, wasn't invited to the wedding but she could have at least helped them get dressed! Come on, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice. You have eyes!!

Seriously? What in the heck! The news said she had this hat designed just for her cousin Prince William's wedding. Even the military official behind her can't keep it together.

Does anyone see a resemblance here besides me?
Hmmm? Do you?

If you can't see that than do you see a resemblance to this? 
Queen Amidala from Star Was? 
Huh?


Oh brother! Even their father refuses to look out of fear he might crack up.

For your enjoyment, I found a nice array of a few of the hats worn by Princesses B & E over the past two years. 

I cannot even imagine the event she attended with this hat on.








Until tomorrow, I will leave you with THIS lovely image...

29/365 - The dress...


I have to say (and I may be alone in this) that I don't really care for Kate Middleton's wedding dress. It's beautiful, don't get me wrong. But it's a little too "old lady" for me. My apologies to all of the old ladies out there, but Kate is pretty trendy. That dress was not.

It reminded me a lot of Grace Kelly's wedding dress.

It was a fairytale wedding for sure!








I have to say that I thought Kate's sister, Pippa, looked W A Y better than Kate did. I really liked her dress and thought she looked pretty classy.


I'm certainly no fashionista, but that's just my opinion. 
Kate looked so-so.
Pippa looked amazing!!

28/365 - Royal Weddings...

You know what tomorrow is... 

(my husband couldn't be more excited)

Prince William and Kate Middleton

I wouldn't mind getting married in Westminster.


Here's the wedding procession route.

And some of the dresses that are rumored Kate may wear.

Although I see her in something more like this.

But I hope she doesn't wear something hideous like this hat. Too many unknown fowls gave up their happy lives for this look. Fail!
