Well Played, Kate Middleton

61Listen, I’m sorry:
But she is sincerely just the cutest. I don’t think we’re ever going to see her wearing something “directional” — it’s not in her job description — but the fact that she manages to look charming and appropriate without looking dowdy seems like a miracle to me sometimes. Bonus points because this is a dress by a store that’s now out of business, so it’s something she’s had in her closet for a while. (Although I’m sure said store is kind of like, “SERIOUSLY? Now? When we can’t SELL IT?”) I guess I just really love a coat dress.

Happy Birthday, Fug or Fab: Kate Middleton
3 photos in galleryToday is Kate “Duchess of Cambridge” Middleton’s 30th birthday! And happy birthday to her. I had the (national) news on in the background while I was making dinner last night, and I overheard the newscaster say the following (which I have paraphrased, but only slightly): “Since marrying Prince William, Kate Middleton hasn’t taken a step wrong…EXCEPT SHE HASN’T HAD A BABY YET.” DUM DUM DUM DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN. To which I say: a) dude, they haven’t even been married a year! b) her husband is in the military! c) she is not the ONLY PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR KNOCKING HERSELF UP, and d) she has to host the OLYMPICS in August. She has STUFF ON HER PLATE. GIVE A SISTER A BREAK. I’m sure she is well aware of the fact that gestating an heir to the throne is a big part of her job description, given how she is a sentient being who grew up being taught basic British history. Let’s give those kids at least a year to be married before we all start flinging ourselves off the Tower of London, wailing “BUT WHAT OF HER BARREEEEEENNN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOMB” on the way down. It’s all going to be fine. But is her outfit?

Fug the Cover: Kate Middleton
So, Tatler is just accepting the fact that they’re NEVER going to get a Middleton to sit for them and has totally and shameless resorted to using photos from events — first the terrible cover where Pippa is being buried alive by flowers, and now this one, which I think is lifted from this outing. If I were the Duchess, that would really cheese me off, and not only because the headline implies that she’s knocked up, or that the article within is, like, “Dear Kate, when you get pregnant, here’s how CRAZY we members of the press are going to act! Don’t say we didn’t warn you!” Because worse than that, arguably, is how terribly Photoshopped this looks. They’ve done something to her face, especially the middle-distance-y eyes, that makes this entire thing remind me of an amateur portrait of Jesus (in attention to the Kind-Yet-Unfocused Eyes, He does have, in much of Western art, similarly luxurious and long brown hair). And listen, I get that Kate Middleton has been a boon to tabloids and proper magazines alike, but she’s not actually the Second Coming.

Holiday Hats and Coats Well Played: The Royal Family
Is there a better way to slide back into a new year than admiring people’s hats? The answer is yes, but it involves gin. Let’s START with hats and ratchet up to booze if we still need it. We’ll be back posting as usual tomorrow, January 3rd. So put on your chapeau and enjoy the last day of the holidays!

Typically Well Played: Kate Middleton
“You know, no big.”
“Just hanging out. Wearing booties. Sporting another cute coat dress. Bouncy hair. Kissing babies. Business as usual. Just wait until you see what I’m going to wear to the Olympics. Two words: unitard.”
