gaga over the queen

Hey LG...

...sweetie...

Cirque du Soleil is on the line. Uhmm, yea. They want to know when they can get their stuff back.

On behalf of the American people...not that I have any position or authority...but none the less, as a citizen of the United States, I feel a duty, nay, a compelling obligation to apologize to the Queen and her subjects. [yep...you got it...high horse and I'm gettin' on it]

harrrrumph...


Good Lord LG, it's the queen...you know...not Latifah, the actual QUEEN...as in Her-Royal-Highness-Her-Majesty-I've-Got-A-Freeking-Ship-Named-After-Me-Reigning-Monarch and High-Uppity-Up THEEEE QUEEEEEN [Big 'ol "Q"] of E-N-G-L-A-N-D!!!

oh...good grief.

At least you had enough sense to curtsy when she greeted you...even if you didn't have enough sense to change out of that flame-retardant circus tarp.

Mind you...I know that not everyone will agree with me, and I'm totally fine with that. But, here's the deal for me...we know nothing of royalty in the United States. Further, we think the world revolves around us. People from other countries consider us arrogant and pompous...and frankly, we are. We foster an 'entitlement' mentality and lifestyle...the more we get, the more we want something else. Lack of respect for authority...for the elderly...for that matter, lack of respect for humanity period is reducing our culture to moral mush.

...wow...note to self...someone needs to switch to decaf...

Anyhoo LG...would it have killed you to change into something a tad more dignified...just to honor and respect the Queen? There are certain rules of decorum that I think are still relevant today...like wearing black to a funeral or not wearing white to a wedding. I'm not sayin' you should become something you're not, but just ratchet the kooky down a bit. Know what I'm sayin'?

Control your poison babe, roses have thorns they say...Miss Bea.

hats off to you mum

Besides her hats, check out the shoulder brooch on each outfit...of course, always accompanied by pearl earrings and her signature 3 strand pearl necklace. Love her!

props to the queen

Despite being more than double the age of Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, the Queen has been named alongside such supermodels as one of the world’s most glamorous women.

Vogue has praised Queen Elizabeth for her impeccable style and placed her in its Definitive List of Today’s Glamorous Women.

She appears among the names of more than fifty women, including the models Claudia Schiffer, Sophie Dahl and Daisy Lowe.

Vogue admires her ability to wear practical outdoor clothing with the same stylish flourish that she displays with gowns and crowns.

Emphasising that “glamour is about how you wear something, not about what you wear”, Vogue adds that even Agyness Deyn, the model of the moment, has commented of the 81-year-old monarch, “She’s cool”.

The Queen is renowned for prefering conservative but often brightly coloured ensembles for her public appearances, accessorised with sensible shoes and handbags, the magazine comments, and adds: “You can’t buy glamour, and you can’t fake it. But unlike beauty, it’s not something you are born with, though it comes more naturally to some than others.”

Only a few years ago Kate Moss, 33, was reported to have told the monarch during a Buckingham Palace party: “I love the stuff you wear. You have great fashion sense.”

The Queen is no stranger to praise for her dress sense, even from the French media. She was given a glowing endorsement by L’Express magazine in 2002, which enthused over her floral dresses and “crazy hats”, adding that she “holds top place in the kingdom of 21st-century icons”.
