  1. 23 hours ago, princess said:

    The Queen gave Frogmore Cottage in Windsor to Harry and Meghan when they got married in 2018.

    Yeah, that's bs brit royal language there. The queen allowed them to get a lease on a property owned by the crown estate - Frogmore/the Windsor estate were not owned privately by the Queen .....Unlike Anmer, on Sandringham, which was owned privately by the monarch.....


  2. They had planned to use it as a UK home base for trips to visit their charities and "family". COVID intervened - that and the crappy ass way his "family" behaved are what kept them away.....Assholes. I still love the jewels, but ugh, I hate myself more than ever for that....


  3. I've seen Bell on talk shows this year and it's not weird - she looks the same. Could be recent work, could also be she'd been holding the same smile too long without a break and it looks too forced by now.

    FYI - Nordstrom sells Lafayette 148, so keep an eye on their sales 😉

  4. I think Tom Cruise is finally starting to age. gasp! He was such a baby face for SO LONG and I'm not saying he is or is not having work done - I'm sure they all do something - but this is the first photo in a long time where I've looked at it and thought "yeah, he is a decade older than I am...."

    (sorry, I cannot upload photos - will try to get direct link but sometimes that fails me too) 

     


  5. I got the audio book Spare from one of my library's. Harry has a lovely voice but I cannot listen to it. I really hate audiobooks and podcasts and talk radio. I'm too impatient. I want to read because I can read a LOT faster than Harry is speaking to me. Ah well. I think I'm #178 on 5 copies of the ebook from another library - the only library options I have. I don't feel like buying it at this point. I do want to read and see what he says on my own, but I've read so many excerpts and articles by now, I get the idea and don't have any urgency.

    I won't be able to get up in the middle of the night for the Coronation like I did for Will and Harry's weddings. We have a theater matinee that day - don't want to fall asleep! So I'll record it all (maybe BBC and NBC versions, if they're both showing) and watch later. I did that for the Queen's funeral. I'm actually still watching the NBC version - watched BBC the same day/week, slowly working through SEVEN hours of NBC coverage now.....


  6. Anne (and the Queen's Cousins) have worn pants for ages. But they're not as high profile as Kate. I think Kate could have worn as long as she wanted but she was cosplaying the queen (in her later years) more than anyone else in the "early" part of her marriage......


  7. If you read Celebitchy, all they'll say is that Kate cosplays Megan all the time and she started wearing pantsuits when Megan joined the family. Meh. Sometimes, yes, but I think she's influenced by others as well.

    What I love about this blazer is that Grand Duchess Maria Theresa of Luxembourg has the same one. And, kindly, she and Kate don't share a body type. And the blazer looks AMAZING on both of them. To me, THAT is why you pay for designer clothing. It better make my short curvy body look as good as a tall thin anorectic body.....


  8. So now Priscilla is fighting Lisa Marie's will, specifically the amendment replacing Riley (and Benjamin) as trustees, kicking out Priscilla and their business manager. "Inconsistencies" in the amendment (I saw a report they thought it was "forged" but the Today show language has been more circumspect)


  9. We're watching Mayfair Witches. I think I like it, but I swear there are 10 minutes every episode that could be dropped, and about 15 minutes missing. It's not upping the mystique; it's just confusing....I never read (or wanted to read) the Ann Rice vampire books, but I read the witches, and I LOVED her Beauty books written as Roquelaure. They came out when I was in high school - THAT'S the porn we all passed around back in the 80s 😉 [boarding school, we had 2 or 3 copies and I swear we ALL read it!]


  10. Glad you posted - I totally forgot the $cieno connection. Not sure why - but  I don't pay a ton of attention to the Presleys. OK, now that makes more sense.

    Did you enjoy Jerrod Carmicheal's joke about Tom Cruise & Shelly Miscavige at the Golden Globes - I thought it was good 🙂

  11. I think regulations should change; I think air guns (NO REAL GUNS) should be used on sets, but cost is a huge factor. I do not think actors should be liable. I think Baldwin - as a producer who was severely cutting costs and impacting safety on set - should be charged. But not actors. I support SAG-AFTRA getting involved (rewriting contracts on this topic?) to limit liability.

  12. I grew up (in the US) learning that couples did NOT sit next to each other at dinner parties, weddings, galas etc. That's the WASPy way. We didn't have a formal wedding (we had a seated dinner but not assigned tables) but if we HAD done formal, I definitely would not have seated couples next to each other. You see that person all the time - talk to NEW people so when you go home, you and your partner can swap gossip! So I actually think that is a class difference, not a country difference. Or at least class + geography.....

    That said - you still seat couples at the SAME TABLE. So Kate not being at the same table is still a problem at that 2005 party....And also the story Kate changed the seats at someone ELSE'S wedding? Yikes. That's a trope from a movie, SO disrespectful. "Etiquette" is about making people feel comfortable, NOT about making yourself feel superior.


  13. 2005 - was William's 21st birthday, yes? Natives & colonial theme (urgh) and Will *says* he was a lion but it has definitely been reported he went as a "chief" in blackface. I've also read that Will was seated next to (ex) Jecca Craig at the head table while Kate was seated elsewhere....(and the CB crowd going on various conspiracy theories that Craig's first kid is Will's and that's why he went to her wedding alone and missed Charlotte's first easter etc)


  14. I will buy it, but currently am thinking I'll try to get at Costco (it's not on their website, but was in the magazine last month so am hoping it will be in the store). Otherwise, I'll try to get it online at the library, not sure if they'll get it though. But yes, I will read it. I read the excerpts in the news, but want to read it in context as that helps me figure out intent a little better....
