The really interesting part of this article is the location of Doria’s penthouse.
I’m going to drop into conspiracy theory here, so #conspiracywarning. This new pad, which is suspiciously far away from their main home in the Cotswolds is NOT for Doria. Meghan is buying herself a bolthole in the city far away from palace staff. Also, it’s going to end up being a Soho House property.
Oh, really?! Brexit is going terribly and is going to affect the entire UK, but Megsy needs to decorate an expensive flat for her mom, who let us remember did not stay longer than a week after the cookbook photo op.
Warner Bros. has made their decision on the roles of Huntress and Black Canary in their next anticipated DC movie Birds of Prey, coming out on Feb. 7, 2020: Fargo and 10 Cloverfield Lane actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead has won the role of Huntress while Underground actress Jurnee Smollett-Bell will play Black Canary. They join Margot Robbie who reprises her Suicide Squad role of Harley Quinn in a Gotham that isn’t protected by Batman.
Goat peach dress (second most iconic look based on how much it’s been lampooned)
Carolina Herrera peach dress she wore to Trooping (I think this is her most “iconic look” based on that Modern Family sketch)
Best looks:
Blue Roland Mouret worn at BP
Black Halo dress worn at Commonwealth Meeting reception
Banana yellow dress worn at Commonwealth Youth reception
Black Emilia Wickstead she wore in Ireland
Gray Roland Mouret (sadly spoiled by visible bra) she wore in Ireland
I think a lot of people would add the black/navy Dior she wore to the RAF anniversary to this list, but I think that looked way to dark and fake. Ditto the cream Givenchy she wore to Chester. I think the dress looked good, but couture was the wrong choice for the engagement and the hair just killed the look.
Illustrator Tom Stults imagines what the posters of popular movies would look like in an alternate universe…if they’d been made earlier or later or in a different setting. He’s done dozens of these…the latest “What If…” set is here with links you can follow to his past sets. I could caption these but they’re pretty self-explanatory.
I’m very amused by the coverage though. The bar is set so low at this point that they praise her for closing the car door. Even I am sitting here typing “well, at least the dress was ironed and the hair was kind of combed.”
This video? I do think she looks very confident, but, to be fair, Kate was an art history major so this was kind of her thing. I’m sure she was very excited about the exhibition.
►Film Facts ➛ Star Wars: A New Hope ღ ⁃ Stunt doubles were not used for the scene where Luke and Leia swing to safety. Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill performed the stunt themselves, shooting it in just one take.
“The opening prologue to the film is very important for me because this shows how mom and dad meet. And why I think it’s important is because… the love story of Arthur and Mera is important, but the love story of mom and dad, and how they meet, and fall in love, is just as important, if not more important. The emotion that we have with those two characters is the sort of the emotional backbone for the whole film.
And my whole movie is sort of built around how Arthur feels because of how Atlantis has kind of has basically … He has a chip on his shoulder with Atlantis because of what he blames Atlantis did to his mother. And so, that is like the backbone for the whole film. And I think, it’s an important thing to kind of lay out, because it sets up the whole movie.” James Wan on the opening scene of Aquaman (2018)
I agree. it will be up into a big “will she go or won’t she go” frenzy during the tour and then she’ll show up in Tonga and everyone will be told that “her uterus is no one’s business.”
Pffft, Harry barely gets coverage now. A solo trip to Fiji and Tonga will barely cause a publicity ripple. Heck, if Meghan stays in Australia because she’s pregnant, it may be that most of the press core stays in Sydney hoping to see her attend the Games. The coverage will be all about her pregnancy and Fiji and Tonga will be an afterthought.
Fiji and Tonga have spent tons of money in the hopes of a tourism boost, and it will all have been for naught. Sweden didn’t need the tourism press and they didn’t spend much (if anything) on Will and Kate’s Brexit visit, which, in any case, was only postponed until later (and Kate’s pregnancy gave it even more coverage then). Fiji and Tonga will have thrown a lot of money down the drain.
Actually, it’s even worse. If she skips the islands because of Zika, it will be worldwide news and it will actually HARM their tourism. Can you imagine the headlines? It will be wall-to-wall coverage in Australia, which is probably their main tourism market. The cancellation will cost them tons of tourism money and the effect could very well last years.
Puerto Rico lost $28 million in tourism money due to a Zika scare.
If Ms. “OMG, I love the Commonwealth and all of their pretty flowers and I’m now totes in charge of it” cancels her tour because of freaking Zika, it will have huge negative repercussions. No one thought “oh, I better cancel my fjords cruise because of Kate,” but tons of people will go “oh, I didn’t know Zika was still a problem I better go to Hawaii or Bali instead.” Sweden didn’t lose squat because Kate cancelled. These islands can potentially lose a ton of money.
So I don’t understand why people are being so blasé about this. If Meghan is pregnant, then Fiji and Tonga are royally (literally) screwed. Their choices are “Meghan braves Zika and risks her baby’s health for royal duty” headlines, or “Duchess is heartbroken about having to cancel due to the Zika warning but she can’t possibly put her baby’s health at risk.” Either way THEY ARE TOAST.
This isn’t a small matter. These are millions of dollars in tourism revenue.
If she’s pregnant, the only alternative is to continue the tour and claim that the risk is minimal and she’s dousing herself with bug spray, but then you have royals going around telling people that they can ignore government warnings because the government is a hysterical nanny.
It’s a lose-lose-lose situation for everyone. That’s why I don’t think she’s pregnant.
