My kind of princess

I am sure she is amused that this appeared on CNN... There's hope yet for the monarchy.

It looks like she had an ancient stone time clock or a modern satellite on her head. She should take an advice from Carrie in SATC – the bird would be more stylish. It makes a bad-hair day, a good-hair day

I’m amazed by the UN Human Rights Council recent report - it’s urging the British government to reconsider whether to continue to up keep the monarchy. It was reported in the Telegraph yesterday. Apparently, the monarchy costs each Brit about US$1.23 a year; therefore, her annual tuition fee of US$46,000 would be paid by about 38,000 British taxpayers. Well, I like the Queen. Without them, there’s nothing much to read in the Hello magazine.
BTW, Happy Father's Day, everyone!

Well, I guess that would be true if everyone paid the same amount of tax... I would guess the tuition is paid by about 3,000 people. But I am with you, I like the monarchy. Not sure how I'd feel if I were a Brit.

I agree with MrsC - boo to the hat.

But frolicking naked outdoors? That's EXACTLY the sort of thing that SHOULD happen at university.

My alma mater has nude olympics every year on the night of the first snow fall. Restricted to Sophomores. Only clothing permitted: shoes, scarves, hats, gloves.

As a freshman, I had fallen asleep in the library, only to be awakened by raucous laughter. I opened one eye and saw all sorts of interesting bits and pieces running by.

Every year, a couple of olympians are caught by the local police. Would have loved to see those mug shots.

Well, let's face it, the hat comes with the territory. Ugly hats are s definitive sign of class, or class wannabes, at least in the UK. The French dress better because of the French Revolution, which was really about improving the style of dress.

I agree about the generally salubrious affects of collegiate frivolity, although I always thought nocturnal public nakedness was really just for Engineers. Maybe not? Will we be reading your sophomore year narrative, C-belle?
