I'll be away from my desk today, but for those of you who would like to discuss Meg and Kate's appearance at Wimbledon today, here's a place to do that!
Not much appears to be going on. Living Legends came and went without fanfare ... what's the next event? Super Bowl - Sunday February 11th? Oscar's - March 10th? In the mean time, some things are still rolling along in various starts and stops like Samantha's law suit. Or tax season is about to begin in the US. The IRS just never goes away. Nor do bills (utility, cable, mortgage, food, cars, security, landscape people, cleaning people, koi person and so on). There's always another one. Elsewhere others just continue to glide forward without a real hint of being disrupted by some news out of California. That would be the new King and Queen or the Prince/Princess of Wales. Yes there are health risks which seemed to come out of nowhere. But. The difference is that these people are calmly living their lives with minimal drama.

As the expression goes, buy for the body that you have and not the body that you wish to have.
For the love of god, why do these $5000 dresses never fit her?
In the end, it was a Strong Businesswoman look that she went for. White shirt, patterned skirt, hair scraped back into a penitential ponytail. The Duchess of Sussex paid her second visit to Wimbledon in just over a week yesterday, only this time she had the correct look — not jeans. But as she made her chastened way to her seat in her sub-Gilead straitjacket, I felt for all the world that the life had gone out of her. She’s not a tennis fan; she clearly doesn’t like or understand the game; it’s been the worst week of her royalling life. So why did Meghan even want to come back?
Officially, she was there to watch as her friend Serena Williams fought in the ladies’ final. Unofficially, she was there as part of a PR mission to salvage her reputation, after an appalling week of broken optics in which she’d revealed what she thought of the pesky, snappy, panting, royal-sniffing plebs at the tennis tournament. Arriving 10 days ago as part of a spontaneous “private” visit — alarm bells already — she’d thrown on the wrong clothes and brought the wrong people. She started giving the wrong orders: getting her protection officers to tell everyone to BACK RIGHT OFF and stop taking pictures. It was a diva fit reminiscent of the time she seemed to tell her minders to get her away from the throng at that market in Fiji — only this time no one even knew she was there.
One woman, a former Wimbledon player, said she hadn’t even been trying to get a snap of Meghan when someone tapped on her shoulder and told her to stop taking pictures. Another tennis fan, an Azerbaijani oil engineer, said he had “no idea” she was there when a minder asked him to “please give them privacy”. Even if they had been photographing the duchess, didn’t she know it was a public place surrounded by cameras?
---Who is vetting these important decisions? Surely it's not just a signature on the dotted line. Yikes.
You are right - there appears to be two holes in the sheer fabric- one on her left shoulder and one on her left upper arm. They did not appear to be pulls - I hope it is just the photography. $3K for the dress - it had better fit!
Aside from nit picking, honestly - MM looks great. yes, the dress is tight across the upper chest, otherwise it looks like it was made to fit a post partum woman. EVerything looks good - her shoes fit! MM looks better than Beyonce. Even Harry looks happy.
It is a mystery to me why the designers team could not have altered the dress 5 or 6 days ago. Unless Schmuckle was too vain to have another fitting.
My thoughts are she seems to think if she misbehaves enough she will either be "exiled" or taken off the high profile tier and be able to just enjoy the wealth and status without the responsibility - it wont work that way, she is a minor royal and everything she is enjoying is tied to the realm.
No excuses for her wearing clothes that don't fit properly ... we all come in different shapes and sizes and I can think of several larger women who always look beautifully turned out. She's a disgrace.

And I still want to know what happened at Wimbledon yesterday. The photos the DM threw in later show something was going down between the BFF SILs
Oh, and don't miss the photos from the match yesterday afternoon. Kate took her sunglasses off and looked quite testy. I posted the link somewhere above.
Of course, in her defense, can she find a glamour team that won't loathe her soon enough?
MM looked put together, but the dress looked tight. She didnt look comfortable. I have to wonder if she just has no idea how to dress this new body of hers. She's always been slim and now she's not. I think she's still trying to wear the same type of clothes that she wore when she was super thin and it doesn't work for her. She had some very nice outfits during her first few engagements after marriage, so she's not a total loser in the fashion department.
Everything MM does is calculated. The too small black dress bodice may have been to make her look more well endowed and reveal more bust - just like her idol Bouncy always has everything hanging out. But my question is how an allegedly nursing new mother can smash and push up her breasts like that for a several hours long series of events without pads, and discomfort? From door to carpet, meet & greet, watch film, after party, as rep. of the Royal Foundation. Opinion: Not nursing.
Sorry, I'll take Bey's questionable but well-earned-thru-talent taste over Markle's delusional multi-thousand-pound-sausage-roll-funded-by-taxpayers faux pas any day.

“Though the new dad smiled at his eight-week-old son while taking some time out off the field, “[he] appeared uptight and looked upon his wife with disdain”, an onlooker noted.”
