I mean, lines like this: Quote: The evening gown presented another hurdle in owning her unofficial title of princess. As a new bride, Kate played it safe with boatneck collars and muted hues. She carried off this McQueen gown gracefully at the BAFTA awards, though the billowing fabric, or perhaps her nerves, read like a newbie on the job. ...Are ridiculous and demeaning. ------ ~Gem in the prairie

I believe it was mentioned somewhere that she can't go barelegged and that's a look I don't like anyway...maybe it's living in a cold climate, but I thought the sheer black looked good... I did like all the outfits and wish I looked like that in jeans! ------ 2009-113.25 yds 2010-115.5 2011-80.25+30+donated 2012 86.3 yds.. 2013 21.0 Everyone who sews seriously has a stockpile of fabrics, because it is natural to purchase more than can be sewn in any one season" Singer, Timesaving Sewing, 1987

For instance, I love the flowy dress at the BAFTA awards. And I must confess that I don't see the evolution of style they are talking about. I'm so glad no one is following me around taking photographs every time I step out the door, and commenting on how well I am fulfilling my role. Such commentary, however, might be hilarious! ------ marjoriekh

Me, too. I thought she looked wonderful in all the pictures, which I think was Joan's intention when she shared the slideshow. At first I didn't notice the comments were meant to be how she was failing. But it's what they did with Diana, too. Thank goodness I'll never be in the spotlight because there wouldn't be enough bandwith to show each and every fail. ------ http://sweetnotions.blogspot.com/
