"the" Mrs. Astor

Saturday, June 24, 2006



With the most dangerous terrorist group since Spanky and Our Gang now in custody, it is important that we don't become complacent. Terror never sleeps and by its very nature catches us off guard.

That said, would someone tell Princess Maxima of The Netherlands that pink and orange has never, and will never, work! The mere thought of this strikes terror into the most hardened troops fighting on the front lines of fashion. The former Máxima Zorreguieta is from a wealthy Argentine family and married (some would say snagged) Crown Prince Willem-Alexander. The Dutch royals are not, as a rule, glamorous or even vaguely exciting, but they ARE industrious and honest and obviously don't know about the walking time bomb in the form of Maxima. (The other Latina in the European royal playing field is Maria Teresa Mestre Batista, who was born in Havana.)

Memo to Queen Beatrix: The most dangerous terror is "Home Sewn".

Just last week, this Witch strut about in her pink w/dash of orange pumps. In my vintage little black dress and black satin clutch, I looked the widow until I donned the technicolor shoes. Sometimes, a little pink & o is useful.

I stand corrected, Witch; but you did say "little". This is Maxima.

Agreed. One wonders what she thought upon seeing her reflection in the mirror when trying that ensemble....

What is wrong with me? I have impeccable taste and I happen to LOVE this outfit and the marriage of orange & pink in general!!! :)

Dear lord. She looks like she survived an explosion in an ice cream factory.

Well, the Dutch royals are industrious. Willem-Alexander is thought of as a "nice boy", his Mother's brains went to his younger brother. The Queen brought in Alexandra to run the firm (ex-Investment Banker). It was much more a merger than a marriage.

Given those hats, what more need one say?
