Oh. We had fun! We looked at faces and tiaras! RajahMD showed us a tour of Fergie’s Fashion Finds. Best of times, worst of times. And we discovered QEII's worst dress ever! Should I post it here for those who missed it in the big thread? I still see it everytime I close my eyes

Anyone lambasting the BRF for daring to smile a whole 20+ days after the Queen died, after an absolutely insanely overdone 10 day mourning parade…for a 96 year old woman…sincerely fuck off. I mean I don’t like any of them but good lord.

But yes I still agree. Again, the lady was 96 mf years old! My great grandmas funeral was mostly smiles and joking around because she was 99 and it was a life well lived.

They let Kate photographed Camillla for a magazine so obviously her pics aren't terrible. It's probably mostly for the "good/positive press" though. "How nice, the Duchess took photos of her MIL" and all that.

"How nice, the Duchess took photos of her MIL" and all that. They’re not terrible at all. They’re like in 2010 or so when all the mom bloggers got into having a fancy camera and took pictures. The magazine has really great editors too that can take the raw material and make it look professional. And it’s not a slam on Kate. She’s a fine amateur photographer. But the press is ridiculous to prop her up the way they do. It’s like the Early Years project- she’s interested in this. She uses her name and fame to get attention for it. That’s great. She’s not single-handedly doing groundbreaking research to change the conversation like her people and the sycophant rota like to project.

The night before my FIL’s funeral, I stayed up to 1am helping my DH write his eulogy. My BIL and SIL were with us, sharing stories and reminiscing. I never laughed so hard in my life. I think people smiling at or around a funeral is a sign that the deceased had a life well lived. I hope people smile when they remember me, too.

My sister is one of those "moms with a fancy camera" and I definitely take better pictures with my phone than she does with her $$$ camera. The extent of her "photography training" was taking a class in HS 🤣

Things look like they're off to a bumpy start. I have a feeling both are going to be pretty unpopular.

Is Twitter mad about them smiling too or… 👀 One gossip blog in particular is calling them smug, tacky, hyenas, etc. But I expect nothing less. Were they supposed to just stare blankly at the camera?

Amazing tweet response: “Absolutely wild that the leader of the party elected to govern is less in tune with the public on one of the biggest issues we face than a hereditary monarch who has reached his mid seventies without having had to put toothpaste on his own tooth brush.“

And thank the fucking queen for a new month thread. I haven't been in the other cluster fuck since her death. Oh. We had fun! We looked at faces and tiaras! RajahMD showed us a tour of Fergie’s Fashion Finds. Best of times, worst of times. I missed tiaras?? I got busy for a bit and didn't have time for the Sept thread. Came back to 2k new replies, said f-it and came to the Oct one instead. Anything worth scrolling back for?

Is anyone watching The Empress on Netflix? We’ve talked about Sisi here before, right?
ETA, I saw it compared to Bridgerton and The Crown, but it’s starting off much more intense than both of those.
