Flower Power at the 400th Anniversary of the King James Bible

The Queen never gets tired of getting flowers!

Read the Daily Mail's article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2062543/King-James-Bible-400th-anniversary-Queen-looks-delighted-shes-handed-flowers.html

I thought that the comments were really nice. It just goes to show that the monarchy represents something special.

Here are some pictures:



The Duchess of Cornwall Can't Handle the Henna!

The Daily Mail has reported that the Duchess of Cornwall's Henna tattoo (a temporary tattoo she got on her trip to South Africa last week), will not fade fast enough!

According to the report this kind of tattoo takes a while to fade, because it penetrates multiple layers of the skin, and this poses a problem for Camilla who must continue to attend her public works and different formal functions.

Two Peas in a Pod: The Duchess of Cambridge and Crown Princess of Denmark

The Daily Mail seems to think that the Duchess of Cambridge and the Crown Princess of Denmark are very similar, and in ways that go beyond just their outward appearences.

"With their matching chestnut hair and elegant poise, they could be sisters. Instead, they share a bond as future queens.


The marriage between Frederik, 42, and his glamorous Australian-born wife Mary, 39, was portrayed in Denmark as the culmination of a modern fairytale romance between a prince and a commoner – much like with William and Kate."

UNICEF: William and Kate's Official Photograph

Nadine Jolie reported on her blog that "another official portrait of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge has just been released to mark their November 2nd visit to Copenhagen on behalf of UNICEF. The trip is designed to “help put the global spotlight back on the humanitarian crisis in East Africa,” particularly Somalia, where over 320,000 children are malnourished to the point of death."



How to Ask for Kate's Hairstyle

According to the UK's Yahoo Lifestyle site, Richard Ward, who styles Kate's hair said that: “This is the single most requested look of the season for us. It’s a simple, yet classic look to recreate, but a good blow-dry is really key to show off the style to its true potential.”


But how do you ask your hairdresser for Kate’s look? Richard says “ask for a long cut with plenty of long layers to add texture and definition to the style. Avoid a blunt finish which can make the cut look too structured.”

Richard also offers a styling tip: “The most important thing about this style is the condition of your hair. Make sure that you go for regular trims to remove any split ends, and use a good hair masque, like my Couture Hair Intensive Masques (£23) weekly for a really healthy, glossy finish.”

And there you go! Now head off to your nearest salon!
