Not ignorant at all, Azaleaqueen -- here you go!

I like the Aussie term for them--arse antlers.

Yes we call them that here too, but frankly 'tramp stamp' is the best definition of a tattoo there. Just this weekend I had to talk a gradeschool girl out of getting a henna piece done there. Sad thing is that her mom kept telling her "it's up to you"

topic: What is the reasoning behind Anne and Mark not wanting to contribute/pay for the wedding?

Well, I didn't see any tattoos. Those are always charming with a bridesmaid's dress.

Dwanollah, I owe you an apology. I hadn't noticed that the dresses were strapless. Maybe it's okay if you're a non-royal.

I'd think it'd be just the opposite! Commoners can't get away with it, but if Princess So-and-So wants to go strapless, well, okay, maybe....

I think I'll settle for a generic "I'm offended!" to cover everything, from the tats to the tan lines to the strapless in church. (apply that sarcasm button here, too, btw!)

I was wondering how long it would take for the press to rip into Autumn Kelly. They managed to restrain themselves for a good week. Apparently, the whole Hello mag deal was just so tacky and beneath the Royal Family and it is all Autumn and her working class family's fault. Yeah, because the Royal Family are so unaccustomed to looking bad in the public eye. Let's see which is worse, selling the rights to your wedding photos to Hello or dressing up as a Nazi to a costume party?

She went to a cousins wedding yesterday and wore the same dress she wore to Charles and Diana's wedding 27 years ago.

And the same hat, too! Still, if she can wear the same outfit at 57 that she wore at 31, good for her!

I think it's a great dress. So good for her.

I like the dress, though I find the hat pretty bad (and for an American, I have a pretty high tolerance for English hats). The only things I find unusual about the choice are 1) that she maintained her figure for so long - I wish I could; and 2) she had to have known that someone from the press would remember the last time she wore it. The latter is unfortunate, because it's a distraction from the actual wedding. It's a pretty minor criticism, though.

I think the repetition would be cool if it had a little significance - like if she wore the outfit to a (happy) couple's wedding & then wore the same outfit a couple of decades later to their kid's wedding. Princess Mary of Denmark wore the same hat to her kid's christening which was really nice. But she should really mix up the accessories a bit.
