Meanwhile in Japan - Super fat kitty trying to lose weight per doctors orders
A very strange video - kitty is working out on some sort of underwater treadmill.
Neatorama sez:
A fat cat in Japan complies with doctor’s orders by starting an exercise routine. I don’t know if it’s the cat’s facial expression, his considerable size, or the appropriate music, but I could not stop watching this video.
I think she looks great. Even though that sort of thing doesn't appeal that much.
Let me be contrary about kate's dress and say it was too simple for the occasion.
I kind of agree. I don't think it was too simple for the occasion, but I think I was expecting something more modern and elaborate from the house of McQueen. It didn't have to be meringue, but I was expecting something a little fashion forward. This seemed like a dress I've seen a million variations of.
ETA: I did not like Diana's dress at the time. And I remember it being very wrinkled when she got out of the carriage.
That poor kitty. It's paying for it's owners stupidity.
This seemed like a dress I've seen a million variations of.
But beautiful!
The fashion person I heard on the TV was not psyched about the dress, either, though.
Definitely not fashion forward, but a great callback to Princess Grace's dress and, if it brings backs sleeves, I will be thrilled to pieces!
Loved Pippa's dress as well. They both looked stunning.
The real question is why Chelsy Davy looked so busted. I mean, her family's rich, right? She should know by now how to dress for a fancy royal Do. [link]
That cat looks not nearly as miserable as I would expect at being held half in the water like that.
I completely forgot about the wedding, but the pictures linked here were really enough for me. I imagine there was a lot of compromising on the dress, between what Kate wanted to wear, what Buckingham Palace wanted, and what the designer wanted to show off. The end result is pretty, which is all the opinion I really have.
I liked the dress, which surprised me. It's very classic and classy. Tasteful, but not overly bland. She wore the dress, it did not wear her.
Heh. I love the Fug Girls' caption for this picture of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark:
So, this lady unwittingly caused a change in the Danish constitution to allow women to ascend to the throne (because it became clear her parents weren't going to have any male children), and is also apparently an accomplished painter whose illustrations appeared in the 1977 and 2002 Danish-language printings of Lord of the Rings, she is apparently also a gifted costumer, and she's had both knees replaced. In short, she is badass and when is Helen Mirren going to play her?
