I Am Tiramisu

Must it really come down to this?

Diana, Princess of the people, will be turning 50 soon and Newsweek comes out with this Little Photoshop of Horror of a cover to commemorate the occasion.

Don't get me wrong. I am a big big big fan of British royalty. But must we subject them to this? Especially Diana. And now Kate. Must be weird looking at herself on a widely respected magazine cover looking at a non-existent mother-in-law. Hey, clearly she adores her, but wouldn't it more proper if let her publicly adore her in her own terms? And not throw her into some kind of... THIS?

"Diana at 50: If She Were Here Now", by, ehem, who else, Tina Brown (journalist, magazine editor, columnist, talk-show host and author of the biography The Diana Chronicles).

So ok, let's just look past the ridiculous-ness of this circus and stick with the facts here. Hmm...would that be how Diana dress these days? With her sons grown up now she would not have been more hesitant to spend more time abroad, thereby, even more "experimental" and less conservative with her wardrobe. In these modern changing times where celebrity-designer collaboration has taken a very interesting route, the Lady wouldn't been stuck with J.Crew and Galliano alone, altho, with their cool designs, she would, no doubt be a big fan of theirs. Ahihi, Im no fashion expert, but that's how I feel. Contrary to what Tina Brown has written, no, I don't believe she would have taken the Michelle Obama route in terms of fashion. I think.

But definitely she wouldn't have worn that hat. Her hair would have been a little more stylishly elegant. Before her death her hair went thru a more modern change, inspite of it still being short.

Anyhow...if you really want to celebrate Diana being 50, give her the cover to herself. Get those beautiful photos from the archives. Let me help you:

There is such a saying as 'too much photoshopping is a bad thing.' I believe we just should curb our enthusiasm just a little with this one regardless of how big a fan we are. Ahihihi

Here's hoping for other publications to commemorate her life and beauty with style, respect and simple elegance.
