A Feather in her Hat

A friend’s friend's friend (3 degrees of separation) is hosting a Royal Wedding Party – read a roomful of estrogen watching the ceremony together, drinking mimosas and wearing fancy hats. Yeah, the only requirement to the party is that everyone wear a HAT! I LOVE IT. The only problem is that I don’t know the host well enough to wrangle an invite.

When it comes to the Royal Wedding – the world is divided into 2 kinds of people:

1. Those who can’t get enough. (Example: ME who blogs about it.)

2. Those who’ve had enough and pooh pooh the rest of us because they’d rather discuss Libya or the nuclear reactors in Japan. (Example: SK)

In the last 3 months I’ve probably watched more documentaries on the Royal Family than I have watched episodes of Sex & the City. And that’s saying a lot, because y’all know I love me some Carrie Bradshaw. Let's just say I've kept the History channel in business.

Random trivia - Kate’s sister's name is Philippa Charlotte. (can we get any more English than that? Next thing you know I’ll be serving Earl Grey tea with crumpets & cream scones, only that I like my tea 'cutting' with toast on the side). Me thinks Time Magazine’s / People Magazine’s 2011 Woman of the Year will be Kate Middleton. We shall revisit this blog post next year to see if I was right.

Speaking of Kate, I havta say that the girl knows how to wears her hats. She ROCKS those hats. I think, her signature look has come to be a feathered hat, precariously slanted on the side of her head. Here are 4 of my favorite -

Tskkkkk the pictures are courtesy Yahoo and can be found here. I have nightmares about being slapped with a lawsuit for using someone's name or content without permission. For real, I think about that at night, along with ways to harass the husband.

So if you're looking for me on the 29th, I have a date with my couch and a glass of wine. And who knows, I may even buy me a hat!

As a postscript t0 to my blog entry on Carbon Footprint, I have since learned that Gjn not only biked to work but also went clubbing on her cycle. YES. CLUBBING. ALL DRESSED UP. BICYCLE.

Eat that all you tree huggers.
