Fugger: Wills and Kate

Royal Shenanigans: The Queen’s Jubilee


Are you ready to take a gander at bunch of royals we haven’t seen around these parts since Wills put a ring on it? Welcome to the very beginning of the Queen’s Jubilee celebration — which I suspect will lend itself to many many many a post, because everyone is rolling in for Liz II’s big bash and bringing their finest and waving their arms around and taking camera pics. It’s very entertaining. With bonus Prince Harry, because DUH.

Well Played, Kate Middleton PLUS PRINCE HARRY


And the Olympics/Queen’s Jubilee Year Shenanigans have truly begun, since Kate and Wills here are at some kind of Olympic Yada Yada Go England! Concert Thingie (the official title). I am, as you know, REALLY EXCITED about the Olympics, because I love the Olympics A LOT and also I am an Anglophile (among other -philes, including X-) so…you know, yay. Also: three recent events, three pairs of open-toed shoes. Things are good. But enough about that. I must inform you that this post also involves Prince Harry kissing a dog and snuggling a baby and riding a horse and being hot. HAPPY MONDAY.

Well Played, Kate Middleton


We’re taking a VERY BRIEF BREAK in the middle of MET BALL FEVER to bring you BREAKING NEWS about Kate Middleton: OPEN TOED SHOES. Also, she looks amazing.

Elegant But Sort of Boringly Played, Kate Middleton


I mean, I love me some Middleton, but can we get a pattern up in here, girl? Or are you saving it all for the Olympics? Or, as we call it at GFY HQ, Awesometime. (We love the Olympics. I bonus love the Summer Olympics because Speedos.)

Well Played, Kate Middleton (She’ll Always Be Kate Middleton To Me)


Hey, remember the Royal Wedding? It was a year ago on Sunday. If you’re looking to procrastinate, may I suggest revisiting our live-blog of the ceremony (which is the most-read post on this site, ever, actually)? When you read it, please bear in mind it was THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT and we didn’t sleep at all. And yet that was one of the most fun things Heather and I have done, I think. It was an EVENT. I wore my caftan and everything (I really did). Let’s check in with Kate.

Well Played, Madame Tussauds


It’s no secret that I’m not an admirer of the Tussauds work, in general — I mean, LOOK AT WHAT THEY DID TO ELI MANNING. Tell me they didn’t want to take THAT back after he went and won the Super Bowl. Maybe that’s WHY they won it. Either the universe was apologizing, or he was just fueled by rage.

So I was pleasantly shocked to see that they did not botch this one:

Fine, Wills looks a little wonkus, but it’s not terrible. Kate, though, is SPOT-ON. Seriously, if someone told you she’d donned that dress again to unveil a waxwork of William alone, you might believe them. And when you consider how other people have mangled their efforts at replicating her face or them as a unit, I have to give a pat on the back to the candlemonkeys. I imagine QEII’s helpful recommendation was something along the lines of, “We suggest you not err” (although I prefer Baldrick’s saucier “We’re not at home to Mr. Cock-Up”), and indeed, they did not. You will neither be barred from Her Majesty’s glorious land, nor beheaded and plonked on a spike on Tower Bridge. Congrats.
