I love the Fug Girls' caption for this picture of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark:
You don't see it there, but her coat was killer.
You're like my fairy godmother, and Santa Claus, and Q all wrapped up into one! Q from Bond, not Star Trek.

I also have recently developed a crush on Queen Margrethe of Denmark.

You're quite right, Jesse! Wow, poor Chelsy. Eesh.
I like Pippa's dress, but don't quite understand why she and the little girls were all in white!
I like Mrs. Middleton's outfit.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
if it brings backs sleeves, I will be thrilled to pieces!
Hear hear.
Someone explain the wacky hats to me. Is this a tradition, the wearing of ridiculous headgear?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Queen Margrethe is the bomb.

Hah. Queen Margrethe is awesome. As the fug girls said and someone linked above, when is Helen Mirren going to play her in something?

Because books.
I thought Spanish Princess Letizia was one of the prettiest and best dressed.
Kate's mom looked lovely, and Pippa looked beautiful in her dress.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Brenda is just awesomely awesome, but we all knew that. It is ironic that recognition for doing a great job is more of the same. But I've no doubt you'll rock that, too.
CJ is awesome too, in his own field of the moment. Go him!
David, you gave me a lace-gasm! Yes, I ate up every detail you posted, and understood and could replicate at one point, all but a couple of those processes. I have done the frequent hand-washing and new-needle exchange when working on restoring antique whites (though working with cotton isn't as fiddly as working with silk). Thank you for that.
I love Kate's dress. I'm excessively tired of the universal every-bride strapless fishtail silhouette that varies only in how much stuff is encrusted on it and where the crust is located, and how wrinkly and puckered it looks and where on the dress the wrinkles and puckers are located. I'll be happy if Kate's dress impels a movement back to wedding *gowns*, not upscale prom dresses, where things like silhouette and shape and texture differ, and matter. For a wedding gown, I like the suggestiveness of lace or tulle-covered arms, and I like a skirt that has movement, rather than one that's tucked and ruched till it has the appearance of being cast in plaster.
All of which is just my personal opinion, and the sort of thing I loved to work on.
