Jill Zarin Is Judging You, Duchess Kate

Jill is right. The bride is the only person at the wedding who is supposed to wear white or any color close. This dress is a little too light to call it beige. This has been an establish rule of etiquette for many years.

Don't get all shitty with Jill because she knows a little about polite society and most of the rest of you don't.

I also deeply admire the work Charles has been doing for so many years now. He doesn't stop and could give a rat's ass about celeb parties and all that jazz. Notably his advocacy and work in organic agriculture and supporting small farmers, mixed (market and supported) housing projects -I think this type is more sustainable than "projects", child poverty, and all of the other environmental, social and notably youth programs. Him and Camilla are great fundraisers.
And I also agree (and hope) that Kate's weight loss (I mean it is only 10 pounds or so but looks alarming on such a delicate frame) was due to their demanding schedules and the Canadian tour. She does eat. Saw her eating a lot of dense food in Canada.

End the monarchy with Queen Liz.

Time to get off the taxpayer dole.

Zara is wearing "The Grecian Tiara" that belonged to Queen Mother, Princess Margaret, and now Princess Anne.....that family NEVER throws anything out. And the Duchess of Cornbread appears to be wearing something she whipped up at Micheal's with the coupons she'd been saving.

"Sure, I like a cocktail every now and again. And the last I checked, it was now".

Wait--didn't these same two people get married already? Like, a week or two ago? *scratches head*

How many more of these things are we expected to tolerate? Is it determined by the ridiculous hat supply?

Hitler cannot be adorable.

The Mail may be trashy but it's way out in front of the wave on breaking goss. It must have a massive budget and staff. It's ahead of the curve on breaking US stories, too, which is one reason MK relies on it so much (in addition to its daily PHG coverage).

Pantyhose is something that only looks good covered, from a distance; less appealing once revealed. :)

The Mail (apparently my source for everything gossipy lately) has side-by-side pix of Kate wearing the same brocaded dress to another wedding a few years ago. (She looked fab then, with the same bright, dimpled smile but a tad more weight.)
******

The raison d'être of The Mail is to provide us with trashy gossip, so you're not alone :)

I like Kate & think she's very attractive. I put her weight loss down to the stress leading up to the wedding and then the tour in North America.

She also has apparently single-handedly brought pantyhose back into fashion. Her legs did look great on that tour - very sheer hose, with a just a hint of shine. Noice.

She shouldn't have worn the dress because it is an ugly piece of shit, not because of the color.

They should call her "weighty" Katie, since it seems to be all she cares about. And, of course, it would be ironic.

*chanting as always*

Actually, her dress is beige. White, winter white, cream = no good. Beige = OK.

And such an awful childhood - who wouldn't want to cling to a fairy tale?

Please elaborate. As far as I know she came from a "noble" family of Earls and shit.

And by the way, she doesn't get some gold medal and a round of applause for loving her sons. She's their mother - loving her sons is the least she can do.

Abolish the Monarchy. People are not born to rule over other people. (I know they have been defanged.)

@ Hockey Fan: You're not alone in thinking Zara's wedding look surpassed Kate's. Like someone here said, kudos to Zara for not morphing into skeletor for her big day.

@ Clairey Claire: I recall watching an American network TV interview with Wills and Harry, and I sat with my jaw dropped at their not-too-bright responses, plus their poor grammar and slang! And these two attended top British schools!

Okay, call me a conspiracy freak all you want, but I'd still love to know the true events that led up to and included the Paris tunnel car crash. Perhaps it was an accident, but I have to admit I occasionally ponder if The Firm really wanted Diana out of the scene for good. Truth is always stranger than fiction.

Charles and Camilla were involved before Diana came into the picture. He wanted to marry Camilla, but his mother refused to allow it because she wasn't a virgin. Diana was hand picked by the Queen to be his wife because she was young, naive, good looking and not well educated. The Queen probably figured she'd do as she was told and keep her mouth shut.

Also, I find it delicious that Prince Charles really wanted to be with this homely older woman instead of his young perfect bride. Sometimes men actually go for what's underneath.

Although it was a nasty trick they played on Diana; that was a shame! Whatever you can say about her, she loved her sons.

Totally nasty. She was not the brightest, and extremely young and naive. And such an awful childhood - who wouldn't want to cling to a fairy tale? The royals, and her own awful family sold her a bill of goods on that marriage. But whatever that marriage wrought, she loved those boys tremendously.

Dare I say--- gassssp!-- that I think I like her dress, tiara, and flowers better than Kate's? Is that somehow sacreligious?

@ Sarah Smile: I really like Camilla, too. There's a "If you don't like it, go screw yourself" vibe she gives off which I admire.

You know, if I were Kate, there would be no way in HELL I'd wear Diana's engagement ring...too many bad vibes and energy attached to that item...I'd stay clear of it. BUT, Kate strikes me as a tad superficial and "all for appearances". It will be interesting to see how she fares once the honeymoon phase passes.

Congrats to Zara and her man. Princess Anne certainly raised two genuine kids there...Peter is said to be a very nice chap.

I like Charles too. I like the fact that he doesn't just shut his mouth and smile; he has opinions and he gets involved in causes. A king (or queen) should have a point IMO. His charity, the Princes Trust, does really amazing grass roots work with disadvantaged young people; they helped out a junkie friend of mine. His kids seem to me to be vacuous and shallow.

Hard to believe it's now been 30 years since Charles and Lady Di wed at St. Pauls. Like many, I awoke at dawn to watch the wedding on the telee. As Judy Collins sang so sadly..."Who knows where the time goes?". I thought that with the death of Diana, and the subsequent sordid details revealed about her, Charles, and their marriage, that the public gave up on believing in "Fairy Tales"...doesn't seem to be the case with Wills and Waity. I think they're both way overrated...Kate just doesn't have any charisma, to me, anyway.

Di was a naïve 19 year old who was brought into The Firm for breeding purposes only. And naïve was I, watching her wedding, believing this girl and her 32 year old husband were in love. I mean, Jesus!

Say what you will about Charles, but from all accounts, including his two sons, he's been and is a loving, devoted dad. I think Di's PR team gave Charles a raw deal in that department. I also admire Charles for his ideas on urban planning, organic farming, etc. I think Charles is a very misinterpreted and misrepresented guy in the press.

I think Camilla is a freakin' hoot! There's something about this tough old British bird that I really like.

Buddha bless the Brit woman's tacky yet glorious taste in Dr. Seuss hats.

"My hats off (pun intended)to the British Royals who KNOW WHO THEY ARE. Whether you like it or not they have a culture and hats are just one aspect of the dress."

100% agree. It is not all about what makes you look as cute as possible.

As if we should talk about protocol. Please, we have a First Lady (who I really, really respect and adore, actually) who wears twinsets to formal events and was sleeveless at the State of the Union a couple of years ago.

Also, am I alone in liking Camilla? I have to respect somebody who keeps the same preposterous hairstyle for years. I also think she's happy with Charles and could give a rat's ass what anybody else thinks.

Jill Zarin is a fucking joke. My mother watches that show and watching even 15 minutes of it makes me feel dead inside.

Good morning; happy Sunday.

I'm quite bored of the "Kate & Wills" reporting frankly.

All "Housewives" need to just mind their own little worlds and step off everyone else too: they are completely ridic, imo.

That is the best Cmilla has looked in a long time. I would wear that choker everyday if i owned it. Bet it hides the neck waddles beautifully. The flowers on her hat at fug, but I love the wispys!

I LOVE the wacky hats, but these are boring. they look like an elementary school craft project using paper plates. Or, worse, a Fishy-faux-Martha Martha Martha project that should have been thrown in the wood burning pizza oven.

Jill is so fucking RUDE. She says the meanest things to people under the guise of being "honest" and "real" (Ramona is that way, too). I hate that. There are ways of being honest with people but kind and diplomatic at the same time. Even worse than Ramona, Jill is a shit-stirrer. Some day soon I will be able to grow some balls and confront these people when they start with their needling comments and say "Are you trying to stir up some shit again?"

pearl chocker shows itself again! what is on her head. does it need watered throught the day?? shit.

Prince Charles looks quite dapper with the silver hair.

FFS guys, Diana was NOTHING special in the beauty department. Comparing her to Kate makes us look like Daily Mail readers! They are both charming in their own ways. As for Kate enjoying the attention: I don't think she can do right whatever she does with some people.

As for Brits looking older. Ahem yeah the sun and smoking cos.. we are the only ones doing that! Truth, no other country has people that do that! I never get why people make sweeping statements about an entire nation.

Zara looks lovely, she and Mike are the real deal. Good for her for keeping it low key.

Jill Zarin who looks like the ugly spawn of Carrottop and the Duchess of Alba needs to STFU. She has no sense of style and knows nothing about wedding etiquitte. She was just jealous of Ramona and Alex's presence at the wedding.

This is the same trick whose wedding etiquitte permitted her to ask the bride at that wedding why she is friends with Ramona and why she invited Alex to the wedding.

Looking at Camilla's head, I'm glad she had something to graze on during the ceremony. I hate seeing animals neglected.

.

Unlike Kate, I love how Zara gave the middle-finger to all who said DIET dammit, you MUST be skinny on your wedding day!

Kinda saddens me when Kate flaunts Dianna's engagement ring around, like, 'Listen up peons! I'm her replacement, get used to it.'

Prince Charles will die of old age before the Queen..
.

As much as I liked Lady Di, she never struck me as very challenging in the brains department. So when I first heard about Charles having a mistress older than his wife, I imagined her to be this sizzling, bright, hard-to-resist femme fatale. In walks Camilla.

Submitted by Karen Flatts:

Serious question: Camilla meddled with Di and Charles? I was led to believe that Charles and Camilla were truly in love long before Charles met Di; in fact they were set up by those in charge to keep Charles away from Camilla, who was not good enough, or perhaps already married. As ages passed, Di and Charles (who never really gave two fucks about each other) got divorced, she died, and Camilla got to marry her man.

What is the truth?

-------

Long ago, way before Diana, Charles and Camilla had a thing, but Charles dragged his feet and Camilla married some other guy and had children. But she was having an affair with Charles during her marriage. As a married woman (and later a divorced woman), she was an unsuitable bride for the heir to the throne, and so Charles was set up with Diana, who was very suitable. However, he never stopped f---ing Camilla. The problem was that no one let Diana in on this fact of her beloved's life. She did find out about their ongoing relationship right before her Royal Wedding, but by that point, she felt it was too late to back out, and she married him. Charles never stopped his affair with Camilla all during his marriage with Diana, and it appears that he never loved Diana--she was used as a brood mare, essentially. This betrayal of the then 19-year old Diana took a serious toll, as did the constant attention of the media. Their marriage finally unravelled publicly, Diana spilled her guts about Charles and Cam, tapes of Charles saying he wanted to be Cam's tampon came to light, and Charles has always been a douche.

Jill Zarin is a cunt's cunt who has no business whatsoever opining on correct or fashionable dress. The woman is in her 40s and wore a ballet-inspired outfit to prance around Central Park, for God's Sake. Gross.

Her whole act is tired, tacky, and lame. Go away, Jill Zarin.

In Japan the bride would never wear white because it symbolizes death.

I think you are thinking of China. Modern brides of Chinese origin often have two wedding dresses-a red traditional one, and a white western -style one.

<"In Japan the bride would never wear white because it symbolizes death. Jill might want to broaden her knowledge of traditions of other countries. ">

Where'd you get that from? I eat at a sushi place with elaborate kimonos in glass cases and the owner had told me the white kimono was the wedding kimono. Google "Japan Wedding" in Images and there's sure a lot of.... death.

In England the tradition of not wearing white unless you are the bride, does not exist. Remember Kate's wedding? Pippa's dress and the flower girls were all dressed in cream.

In Japan the bride would never wear white because it symbolizes death. Jill might want to broaden her knowledge of traditions of other countries. Did anyone else read she is going to London to do a Real Housewives of London?

Does that choker Camilla's wearing have special meaning or something? Seems like she *always* wears it, or at least that exact same style of neck jewelry.

And her teeth look like she's lived on a diet of hay and alfalfa her entire life.

Zara is a lotta woman.

I like the vibe that Zara and her husband give off...it looks like the real deal here. That said, I really don't like Zara's dress at all - it simply does not suit her - wrong lines and cut. Good grief.

Awww! The Queen in her little old lady get-up and purse is soooo cozy and reminds me of my late, beloved Nana (Gran).

I like Camilla and her ole' lady get-up, too.

I swear to God Fergie was fucked by an alien...how else does one explain Princess Beatrice and those freakin' monster eyes and teeth! Lord sweet Jesus! Her sister, Princess Eugenics, is the spawn of Andrew, though...no Grey Alien DNA there.
