Don’t Even Think About Bringing Your Selfie Stick to Wimbledon

I’ve been guilty of taking a selfie or two, but I don’t feel great about it.  Especially when Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Harry have both publicly condemned the somewhat vain act (Soz not soz MILLENIALS.)

According to the BBC, Wimbledon is the latest venue to ban selfie sticks, deeming them a distraction.  [Read more…]

As my nana says, “nothing beats new life!”

These kids exude the whole “zero f**** give” mantra better than anyone I’ve ever met.

Hark! Do you see that?  It’s the hair of Catherine the Great, she who has set a new standard for fabulous locks.  Greys?  Yes, they pop up every now and then, but one has to show one’s subjects that one is a woman of the people and that greys do exist, even for the great and the good.

Catherine made famous the “Chelsea blowdry,” described as a “big, bouncy, glossy hairstyle” that looks expensive (Think shine! Think Volume!), and now everyone wants what she’s having.

Let’s look at that bounce!  [Read more…]

9 Kids Who Had No Regard For Royal Protocol

This is why I love walkabouts. Kids are hoping for a Disney princess in a glittering gown, but instead they get a regular — albeit lovely — woman with beautiful hair wearing a nice-looking coat.

12 Times The Duchess Of York Made Us Roll Our Eyes

If there’s one person I don’t want to hear from, especially regarding Prince Andrew‘s character, it’s the Duchess of York.  Even after their divorce in 1996, the Duke and Duchess of York remain close.  So close that Sarah still lives at Royal Lodge with Andrew (formerly the Queen Mother‘s home).

In the wake of underage sex allegations against the Queen’s third child, Sarah has decided to kill two birds with one stone and do some damage control via the press.  Coincidentally, she’s down 55 pounds and recently launched a new endeavor, so the timing couldn’t have been better for Fergie to tell Matt Lauer how thin she is, and how wonderfully her ex-husband is handling these rather serious reports.

During her Today appearance on Monday, Fergie called Andrew a “humongously good man,” adding that she “will have not one word said about him on any level, any level.”  [Read more…]

Kate Middleton: How Great Thou (Hair) Art

During a marathon session of Friends today and noticed the loveliness of Monica’s ex-boyfriend, Fun Bobby’s hair.  So wavy, so luscious.  Even when he was a total bummer off the bottle, Fun Bobby’s hair was run-your-fingers-through-it nice.

On a related note, let’s one-up Fun Bobby by showing him an even better head of hair.  Despite remarks to the contrary, the Duchess of Cambridge‘s follicles are gorgeous without being too showy.  Save for the “fringe” incident, Catherine’s hair has managed to mind its Ps & Qs while still remaining the envy of every salon-goer who points to a glossy and says, “I want that.”  [Read more…]

No one understand what it’s like to live under a microscope more than the Duchess of Cambridge (except for Princess Charlene of Monaco), so we totally understand when the cameras capture Catherine at inopportune times.

Sister’s got a lively toddler and a spare chewing on anything and everything, so she deserves to relax those facial muscles every once in awhile.
