Geez, what a contrast. Wonder if Hil’s washed her hair this summer.

Alright, the votes are in and the results is:

3 or 3

The lovely Duchess of Cambridge wins!

Congrats for having a sense of style, elegance, charm, and poise. All the things a Princess should.

And to you Hilda-beast, here's to your pantsuit and your tyrannical politburo fantasies.

Enjoy!

I'd say dress beats pants any day of the week.

You've got my vote on that.

It's not that I'm against women ever wearing pants. I just hate to see many of them preferring that, to the exclusion of all other feminine attire.

I think it's created somewhat of an unnatural homogenization between the sexes.

Vive la différence!

I got my wedding dress at an outlet store. The hem was slightly imperfect, but no one noticed. It was a magnificent dress and cost me $17.

I wear a dress or suit every day that I work. Sometimes I work in a building of over 200 people and I am the only woman in a dress or skirt. I am appalled at the limited unattractive wardrobes of most women. Cheesy and tasteless.

It's disheartening to see. In my view, it's just another sign of the erosion of our culture.

I know that styles change over time, but this is something different. It's like a wholesale, agreed-upon rejection of femininity, and a forced homogenization of the sexes through social conditioning.

I'll bet you get a lot of approving glances from the men in your building, though. Good on ya.
