Kate puts on brave face amid tacky spectacle
New York Post ^ | April 30, 2011 | Andrea Peyser

Off with their hats! It was bigger than the Super Bowl and as tacky as a legion of Elvis impersonators. Most of all, it was disturbingly white. Yesterday's little wedding of William and Kate, a worldwide showcase of dreadful hats, fad diets and an unusually sour, lemon-yellow-clad queen, was designed to prove to the common man that the royals, finally, were down with the people. But from the moment a triumphant Kate tiptoed with her dad onto the red carpet -- yes, she walked an actual red carpet to and from the altar -- I saw not a potential queen. Kate bore the look of a lithe human sacrifice. Or was she ready to faint from her starvation diet? Her mouth smiled. But in her eyes -- terror. Who can blame her? Kate waited eight years for this moment, outlasting an endless parade of bimbos and stunning babes, most of them blond, at least five of them wedding guests (go figure, Brits), to win the hand of the badly balding heir to the throne. "You look beautiful!" William said, sounding a trifle too surprised, as she sailed into his orbit. These had to be the second-most dorky words ever to emerge from the mouth of a prince, after Wills' dad's unfortunate musings on becoming Camilla's feminine hygiene product. Kate did her best to paint on a smile, as the claustrophobically reserved royal mob made asses of themselves, craning their necks to give Kate the once-over, like a hunk of meat. It was showtime! Perhaps it was a bad omen. Or a sign of water retention. But when it came time to be Mr. and Mrs. Or Duke and Duchess. Or whatever the heck this pair will call each other in the

Angry? No, not at all.

Sad that you are so ignorant, frustrated that you refuse to learn anything, but most I've taken to laughing my socks of at you, which I know is kinda cruel, but you have to admit that everyone usually winds up laughing at the poor fool who keeps on repeating the same dumb thing, no matter how silly it is,like a parrot.

By calling the Queen of England all the rest of the royal wimps and coward, YOU passed judgment on them......from the first. You, yes YOU, cast the first stone ( judgment ), which you kept up; including in your last reply to me, judging me. LOL

But there are far more serious, not to mention interesting, things happening, so bye bye, ta ta, fair-the-well, all the best.............................

Kate and William shacked up before their marriage.

William’s dad Charles professed a desire to be the tampon for illicit lover (later wife) Camilla.

3 of the queen’s 4 kids had failed marriages.

These people have no class.

That they wore fancy clothes to a cathedral wedding and departed in a fairy tale carriage is an entertaining variation of putting lipstick on a pig.

I don't like ads for tampons on TV and I don't need to see it constantly repeated here by you. Constantly referring to something that is inserted into a woman's vagina certainly lacks the class that you repeatedly state that others lack.

If you don’t like those words, then stop typing them into the thread, or better yet, leave the thread. You just described how a tampon is used, which is far more graphic than the word itself.

By the way, the family being praised on this thread as classy are the ones who talked about tampons during phone sex.
