Ok, just an update. By this time, I have seen the “Event”. The SHOW is over and I must say, i have to hand it to the British royal family, nobody does this kind of a show better than the House of Windsor. A fabulous production … nicely choreographed, everything was on-que. All the participants were dressed to the nines including those handsomely dressed people(royals from other countries) playing extras. I understand that the cost of the whole production is about 20 million pounds and guess who paid for it??? I saw some parts of the broadcast live and I mean from the time William and Harry arrived at Westminster Abbey up to the time Kate walked up to the altar to meet William. Saw the all-important balcony kiss on a news clip and never saw the actual “I dos”. i just have to mention that Prince Harry should have brushed and groomed his hair in place for the ceremony and his brother the groom, Prince Willliam is missing some hair …waaa…sorry, cant help it, I did notice the bald spot and the receding hairline. And of course the star of the show, The Wedding Gown... ooops, i mean, The Bride, Kate Middleton. Not as fresh and innocent looking as the late Diana …well, she was I think a nineteen year old virgin when she married Charles BUT Kate looked regal even if a bit too thin, possibly from lack of sleep with all the excitement. Her dress was a cleanly cut and very simple lace number, just a tiny winnie bit similar and reminiscent but nothing of the fabulousness of the classic wedding gown worn by another commoner who married a prince, Princess Grace of Monaco...pls compare the 2 looks and judge for yourself…
there are just a couple of things... just maybe 1 or 2 things ...ok maybe a few more, that have managed to entertain me. i was awed, amused, shocked, floored, etc. AWED by the understated elegance of the Queen, the bride's mom, the Dutch Princess...
i was quite AMUSED that Prince Charles and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall looks like they are of the same age as the Queen. but in all fairness to the both of them, Charles looks happy and relaxed, and Camilla wore something age appropriate and fit for her body type...
there were too many things happening in her look to begin with but that's the least of my problem with the whole get-up, what SHOCKED me was to see a picture of a big no-no in fashion from the British Prime Minister's wife ...the VPL(the Visible Panty Line)...
and of course, what FLOORED me was this woman who seems to have taken a dip from a pool of royal blue paint and the "thing" on the head of Fergie's daughter, what the...
i dunno about you but I'VE HAD ENOUGH of that wedding, since the local and foreign media has been bombarding us here with the same images over and over and over again for the last 3 days. having said that, here's the latest complaint from YOUR RESIDENT GROUCH, i have been scouring all the channels on TV to look for a coverage of the Beatification of a Great Pope. i understand that there is a live telecast of the actual thing later this afternoon but considering the airtime they gave a certain wedding for how many days, couldnt they have given a fraction of that coverage to a man with a great contribution to mankind? a video documentary about his life would have been an excellent example to emulate for our young people specially in this country of 90+million people, at least 80% of which consider themselves Catholics... haay... wrong sense of priorities and values dominates this world ...unfortunately.
