Topless Drama


Well London was in an uproar while I was visiting over the topless photos of Princess Kate that a French magazine was threatening to publish.  The general public was incensed, the papers covered it on the front page every day, the news ran it as a leading story.

I googled it out of curiosity and saw a very grainy photo of Kate putting sunscreen on William's back.

Some stories I heard there claimed that Kate is not a celebrity, but a political figure  and therefore should not fall victim to the same media coverage as a celebrity.

Some other stories I heard when back in America claimed it was Kate's fault for being topless outside in the first place and she IS a celebrity and signed up for this.

It's Feedback Friday...

What do you think about the photos in question?  Gross invasion of privacy or a natural result of sunbathing topless outside? Or maybe a security breach from her team?

How would you feel if a French magazine threatened to publish topless photos of our First Lady?

Do you think of Kate as a political figure or a celebrity?

Home From London!



I looked at the London Eye...with no intention of getting on!

Saw beautiful architecture - can you believe this is an aquarium?  Pittsburgh needs to step it up!

 
I spent an afternoon shopping in Portobello with the girls and bought a dress from Princess Kate's fave designer, L.K. Bennett. The girl at the counter told me they just shipped the black and white version of this dress to Kate last week as she was wrapping my purchase.



I quoted Chevy Chase in European Vacation and said "Look kids! It's Big Ben... Parliament."  every time we saw the clock or Trafalgar Square...which was a lot.  I thought it was funny every time.




I floated along the Thames at night and saw the Tower Bridge alight.


I saw the changing of the guard at Windsor Castle, and thought it seemed really uncomfortable for those guards to stand at attention for 2 hours! I should write a letter to the Queen...or maybe Kate since we are now "dress sisters".


And I saw a Red Arrows fly over directly over my head while visiting Buckingham Palace to signify the closing of the Paralympic Games!  It took my breath away!


So that's my trip in a nut shell!  I'm glad to be home but so lucky to have seen such beautiful sights in London!
