Whoa.

Well, it’s been a week since that quiet affair in England but the photos and stories just keep comin’. I was looking at some of them and noticed that first, there is pretty much nothing said about Prince Harry. Is it because he is better looking than William? Or is it because there are no words for the uniform he wore? Really, I don’t even know where to begin. It’s just so…much. Then again, if there’s anyone in the world who is allowed to wear over the top Disney-inspired ensembles, I guess it is the prince of Wales.

Pippa Middleton (Kate's sister) and Prince Harry.

 Safe to say both in this photo and in the media in general, Harry has been completely upstaged by the bride’s younger sister and maid of honor Pippa Middleton. Britain is totally in love with her, her clothes, and that impossibly small waist.  I’m sure there won’t be any tabloid gossip about these two.

Recap.

I have sort of been really really out of the fashion/style/ everything else loop due to some school projects and related deadlines etc. I haven’t even read The Sartorialist in like 3 days, that’s how disconnected I am. Don’t even get me started on my blogs stats- they are so bad I could weep. Yep, weeping.

I did however  hear that there was a great big magical wedding.

Wrong wedding. But look at the differences in gown choices/style...

I think Kate makes a stunning Dutchess.

And, on a completely different note, a couple nights ago while standing in the cold around 1:30 am during an apartment fire alarm (no it was not a drill. Thanks for not emptying your dryer lint neighbors), I learned that Osama Bin Laden had been assassinated.  Not sure if it’s worth noting but during this time I had a massive allergy fit which  always makes me a real princess to be around. Yeah, that probably didn’t add anything to the story.

Anyway, it has been both interesting  and disturbing to hear everyone’s reactions on Twitter etc. I find a lot of the reaction pretty annoying and people who are otherwise kind, civil, and compassionate (well, as far as I can tell on Facebook) sound like bloodthirsty guerrillas. Fascinating. And really disturbing.  I want to add that I certainly understand that this is a complicated issue. I don’t pretend to have the perfect reaction. I  can imagine it  brings many people a certain amount of relief knowing he is gone. I wonder if some of the victims and families of victims wish he could have been brought to justice and tried for his crimes…

did I just blog about the royal wedding and OBL’s death in the same post?
