"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
okay, here is a roundup of the fashions for the wedding (mostly the wedding party it looks like). Unca Nick (from Project Runway) wrote it all up:

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
this has me screaming with laughter:
Hee! It's a magic cat portal!

balding royals from Williams' great great grandfather (I think) to the present.

Tom and Lorenzo as always have great commentary on the fashions with lots of photos:
We don't know her, but we definitely want to after hearing she ran afoul of the palace for wanting to install disco balls for the party. And if that wasn't enough to make her an instant gay icon, she got what she wanted. Stared down the queen and shouted "Give me disco balls or give me death!"
Ceremony
Guests
Hats
Darlings, we're pretty tapped out, but we couldn't close the blogging day without the following advertorial, brought to you by the British Millinery Association. If there was one common response worldwide to today's proceedings, it was, "Man, those Brits sure do love their jacked-up hats, don't they?" Old Black ladies in church on Easter Sunday would look at these hats and think, "Those white ladies are wearing some crazy hats!" Hats of the UK? We salute you today. How could we not? It was like a garden full of color and shape and just a little bit of crazy to make it fun. Pick your best and worst. We've gotta give it up to Princess Bea for sheer nerve. It takes some royal brass ones to show up at your cousin's wedding wearing a be-ribboned toilet seat. Brava, darling. Way to get yourself trending on twitter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had chips and guac and radishes for dinner. Yay! The avocado and chips and lime were on sale, even. It was the supermarket made me do it.

I was thinking that any kid of Wills and Kate might have a decent chance of non-baldness because Kate's dad seems to have quite a healthy head of hair.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, week, end.
On a good note, my boss chose my March project to present to his boss as an example of process done right. And he gave me a high five for the stranglehold I've maintained on the rollout that's scheduled for this weekend.
I still wish I wasn't going to have to be working in the wee hours this weekend, but there you go.
