Well, I'm sure the WHOLE WORLD was aware that Kate and William got hitched in April, and a couple million people watched the wedding and dresses, and Kate, and fascinators, and blah blah blah. I'm also sure everyone is tired of hearing about it too. I'm sorry to bother you even more.
I was kind of uninterested in it, except the dresses. God I love the dresses. I did absolutely adore Kate Middleton's Alexander McQueen wedding dress designed by Sarah Burton. I thought it was very tastefully done. It was a modern take on a classic wedding dress. Love the lace and the simplicity of it.
Jealous.
But beyond the fact that it was an extremely expensive wedding (I heard about $10 million dollar cost?), and the world is weirdly fascinated with Pippa Middleton's ass, I've garnered some respect for Kate as the time has passed.
First of all, she dresses pretty classy, and I'm really enjoying her picks (I wonder if she has someone pick them out herself, or has someone who does). But beyond that, she has a decent head on her shoulders.
Again, jealous. Gown by Jenny Packham.
The news has been going around that she won't accept free dresses from designers. I applaud her. I know almost every designer is falling over themselves to give her dresses, and she's made Reiss a ton of revenue by wearing two dresses she's purchased, so that would have more than covered a few free dresses.
One of the Reiss dresses in question.
That dress sold out in 24 hours. 24. And Reiss's site crashed. This woman is obviously a cash cow for fashion, more so than Michelle Obama. Sorry Michelle.
I digress some. Most celebs receive free things all the time and often you hear of the celebs not returning those pricey items and being sued and whatnot. I really think that Kate has done the right thing by paying for the dresses. By NO means is she in want for money, it's probably no skin off her back, but it still seems like a goodwill move on her part. They, of course, won't discuss prices of clothing items, but that's silly considering once Kate wears something it's immediately researched, sold out, and copied by others.
I'm intrigued to see what else comes from her or the royal family.
Besides talking about Pippa's ass. Seriously, it's flat, and they're both a liiiiitttle too thin.
