What do you think of Meg's dress for Misha Noonoo's wedding?
It has been identified as being from Valentino. Price: 9000 pounds, or $11,200 in US currency.
So far I've heard: "Malificent", "I Dream of Jeannie at a Funeral" "Endora from Bewitched" and "Fredericks of Hollywood Catalogue 1987."
(British readers, I'm sure you have something similar in your entertainment history. Could we say that it looks like something Diana Dors sold off at a jumble sale?)
At any rate, the dress also reminds me of some fancy perfume bottles my mother used to have back in the day.
High-end, bedazzled mosquito net for her trip to South Africa?

Thanks. Etsy's trying to compete with Amazon. Which is all sorts of crazy because Amazon sells mass-produced stuff.
It would be interesting to watch how this particular royal family would cope with being "demonetised" (LOL, you know, like a YouTube channel).
Would they start selling land to the government? The government bought off some of the land my mother inherited (but she didn't really have a choice, they were going to build a road over it).
I'm now sitting back and waiting for the Africa trip, which promises to be a complete car crash. It seems more like a taxpayer funded holiday for Megz than anything else, and given the violence in South Africa at the moment, you'd wonder why any of them, let alone little Archie, is going at all. Haz claimed they had to take private jets 4 times in 2 weeks for his family's 'security', yet he thinks nothing of dragging him around a country which is dangerous at the best of times, but is now in the grip of xenophobic violence? Yes, I know they'll have the best of security - paid for by the British and South African taxpayer - but that's also true on a plane journey. They really are such grotesque fools.
I also think the Smartworks 'capsule' launch was deliberately timed to coincide with this wedding, and thus gain maximum publicity for Meghan's latest bestest friend (Serena having served her purpose last week). I'm reasonably familiar with the fashion world and I can't say I had ever heard of this 'designer' before. And now she's everywhere. All this for one boring, overpriced white shirt? Not a bad deal for a minor designer.
Any bets on who next month's 'best friend' will be?
Anyway, I think it's insane how Harry and William are so famous I know who they are and everything about their lives without ever needing to know their last names (I still don't).
It's like how my older classmates always came to me fix their IT problems only to be shocked to learn I didn't know how to operate a simple one-button coffee machine. LOL.
With most plebs, the last name is one of the most basic pieces of info you'd like to know from another human being after their first name. But suddenly when someone has "Prince" in front of their names, you can get by with never learning their last names. But then I know all these intimate details about their mother's private life. Isn't that just absurd?
Usually a designer will go with 1 - 3 of these to make a garment stand out and memorable. the last one is not the designer's fault, although some designers have been known not to sell certain merchandise to certain people because they did not represent the desired clientele.
Less is more, Valentino and Meghan.
Can't even imagine what antics she will pull. It would be a whole new chapter in our understanding about her character and motivations. I'm bracing myself for Monday because I have a sneaking suspicion that we would have no downtime once the tour begins.
I also think all this talk about no official welcome at the airport is very carefully orchestrated so because they don't want to be photographed coming down the plane with Archie. If they aren't never photographed, we will never know how the baby behaved on the flight. And they will keep feeding the public back of the bald head shots of him for the entirety of the tour.
Ava, I don't know about the story with Elvis, but the woman of 20 marrying a 42 year old is not necessarily wrong.
Trafficking is wrong, but age difference doesn't necessarily mean anything bad is happening. Women and men take advantage of the power/money/looks/sex discrepancies all the time. It's the way humans interact with each other. As long as there is no abuse, what can be done about it apart from tsking?
I saw that stupid quiz and my first thought was somebody doing their homework on 'BRF in Africa' accessed their Instagram in the middle of revision.
The quiz was probably taken down because MM got a bad score on that lame quiz and lost her shit. Lol..
I'm also wondering how they would manage flying back to England on Sunday, packing, coordinating, and flying out on Monday. It's such a narrow window. Plus they are taking the baby, why would they do this to themselves.
As for the hideous dress,big she had looked nice I'm sure she would find a way to secretly be photographed and then leak it. If she would just say bye-bye to that unflattering hairstyle she would look.so.much better in most of her fashion disasters. I have a mini shih tzu and I swear my dog has better style and hair accessories than her!
I really think they should leave Archie out of this tour altogether. It's just going to make things worse, it's not safe and people are going to go crazy trying to get the tiniest peep at him to settle all the doubts that have been allowed to build up. After all, if he's real and with them, he's used to being without one or both of them already. It's not as if they've been nesting with him out-of-sight in their own little bubble, like every other family I've known with a young baby.
More recently, the Paul Whatshisname guy that was in those car movies and who died in the car crash, can't remember his name and I'm not stopping to look it up. Paul something. But he was having a relationship with a teen, too. Not a peep. But there's a 28 yo woman teacher in jail for 20 years for sex with a 13 yo boy while a 26 yo male bus driver actually raped a 14 yo girl -- raped -- and got no prison in NY. The societal shift hasn't quite covered all of these scenarios and case law has yet to evolve completely or consistently, but it seems to me that the very lowest bar of decency should be set to "adults don't get to have sex with teens or young adults if there's a big age gap", seems like a pretty low bar.
He knows that Meghan will jump at the opportunity to wear a Valentino because it's priced at 12k. She really doesn't seem to care what she looks like, as long as the brand is expensive.
So, the designer gets the publicity and gets rid of the non-saleable item in one shot. He knows that some people (nouveau riche) will think that Meghan is not a mannequin, but since she wears Valentino, maybe I should have a look at their collection.

I keep thinking of how wonderful the collaboration was between Hubert de Givenchy and the young Audrey Hepburn. Must have been a joy to witness. I'd love to have been around then, instead of witnessing this.
Either that, or she bought the dress because it was the most expensive one available.
I know the dress doesn't seem to have much hope as far it's practical wearablity, but then there is such a thing as bespoke couture. Catherine usually wears McQueen, and many of his pieces on the runway seem so out of this world whacky. But Kate gets hers customized and they seem to get a while new life on her. Meg's style is becoming such a sorry embarrassing mess that I feel bad for her. I really wish she would get an in-house tailor, or even a sewing machine. But then again, she could just as well get a new brain and most of her problems would solve themselves.

I am shocked, shocked, I tell ya!

I called it a long time ago. Vanna White's contract ends 2022 and markle can be on scene, suitcase in hand, to spend that wheel.
The internet is forever.
@Nutty, suggested question for your next post:
"Will Meghan wear her grifted duchess booty when she spins the Wheel of Fortune?" lol
I was going to say it's like a Halloween costume for the hookers in the windows in Amsterdam.
Btw, this has been bugging me for a while so I have to get this out ... I saw MMs pics from the Rome airport and she has her jacket swung over her shoulders (yet again). How the hell does she manage to keep it their without it slipping off??! For hours on end too? What's her problem with putting her arms through the sleeves?? At the US Open she had her cardi slung iver her shoulders the whole time ... she even stood up, clapped like a monkey, did those silly bouncy cheers, simpered at Serena's husband, out-smugged Anna Wintour and the whole time that jacket did not move an inch! Does she use safety pins?! Did normal folks like me did not get our how-to-wear-an-overcoat manuals??
And I'm willing to bet they took a private jet to Rome as well as back. And that she flew privately to NY 2 weeks ago. And that they will fly privately to South Africa. They really have no shame. Then again, seeing as there appear to be zero consequences for anything they do, why should they?
There were some rumours that she might have stayed with Nono at her flat, there were even pictures of the supposed flat in some mag. Plus the blind item about the drug dealer and crazy girls night. Maybe she was there for a bachelorette party...! That at least would make some sense, and is probably the one sound logic behind leaving a baby back home (still not justified IMO).
"That said, in many cultures men like a thicker woman. Isn't Rihanna's Saudi billionaire boyfriend supposedly trying to fatten her up?"
Well, that's true about different cultures, but thicker generally means curvier, not boxier, and Rihanna is only 30 years old. That said, IDK. I haven't been a yacht girl lol, but my point was that by the time the former duchess would be hitting the deck and getting rocked with the motion of the ocean, she'll be 40+ and while many 40+ yo women are hot, not sure markle will be one of them. Besides, for the yachting crowd, wouldn't she be a BTDT? I just don't see her having any awesome appeal but then again, maybe she was a really, really good escort and has skills royal skills not possessed by the more common ho-to-go types?
Comments are getting wonky again.
What is less likely, however, that there weren't any 'sneaked' pics of Meghan on the plane. Given all the bad PR about the private jets, I'm sure she'd have found a way to arrange a few pap shots of her on the plane, had she flown on it. So I'm still betting that she flew by private jet.
I also reckon that she was in NY for longer than the official story says. I don't for one second buy the line that she booked a flight for herself and all her entourage at a few hours notice on hearing Serena had qualified for the final. I think that's just her excuse. I reckon she was there with her new bestest buddy finalising the details for the 'capsule' launch and that they both flew back to London by private jet together.
Also, the fact that she could spend at least a few days in NY entirely incognito, the tennis match aside, makes the whole baby shower nonsense even more absurd. It was so obviously a product placement deal and she was paid to be pose outside the hotel. Do they think we are complete fools?
To load your design with so many features is considered to be very bad taste. I suppose he wanted to distract from the semi-exposed flesh, but he went overboard. Versace designs usually do go overboard. Valentino isn't known for that.

It is just another example of her poor manners, and it makes me inclined to believe some of the stories of her temper tantrums.
I think with Murky, it has to be ‘the’ most expensive no matter what. I mean, who in their right mind would have flung on some of the stuff she’s trotted out in? Ill fitting and almost always inappropriate for the occasion. Does she simply ignore ‘all’ advice?
I just read an article on CNN (probably ran by Harry and Meghan’s PR) saying something about royalty and celebs flying commercial that no passengers or paparazzi can take photos of them coz their flight is top secret. They leak info to paparazzis if they want to have their photos taken. Are they throwing a shade at William and Kate and trying to defend themselves why there are no pap photos or others passenger photos of Harry and Meghan when they claim they’re flying commercial?
OMG LOL. I am so sorry about your father's Google search situation. I had something similar happen to me too (it took me a while to finally get which works I wanted to appear on my first page instead of the #MeToo stuff).
All the more reason to latch on to someone super famous, huh? Now when anyone searches "Harry" (and Google does go directly to results for Diana's son, although it also suggest Harry Potter, The Chosen One), you also pop-up in the search results. How very convenient... All without even having to work on a significant body-of-work (which to be fair, Harry doesn't exactly have a "body-of-work", either).
He lives in Paris with his gay BF Best Friend/Boy Friend the notorious photographer François-Marie Banier of the Lilian Bettencourt billion euro fraud scandal. They co-own the posh French apartment which they share.
David Cholmondeley (Marqess of Calmondley) married Rose simply to produce an heir and a spare, he only turns up in the UK when he has Royal Duties to Perform, he spends 9mths of the year away from her in Europe. That's the way these people roll and no one bats an eyelid in the upper echelons.
Not to say that this applies to Nonoo's latest marriage but it does happen, and individuals with lots of money to pass on as an inheritance are more likely to go a route that satisfies the demands of their families while still allowing them to lead their own life
Sparkle Farkle looks like one of Dracula's brides in that expensive negligee-cum-evening dress. Perhaps, if there is another umpteenth Dracula remake, she could get a minor role.
