Today I'm having a not much to write about blog day. This happens to me from time to time. If I was writing about just one thing, like let's say the life of geese, I would probably be able to come up with some fun fact most days of the week.
Since I don't write about anyone thing, but rather what comes to mind when I sit down ready to reveal my "pearls" of wisdom to all of you, my brain can cramp up!
I saw on the Internet that Princess Diana's wedding dress was "touring" the country. Between March and June this year 105,000 visitors bought tickets to the exhibition in Kansas City. People paid approximately $24.00, or 15.50 in pounds for their tickets, which meant that the "take" if you will was nearly 1.63 million pounds. This is in Kansas City folks! The dress is apparently even going to a casino where it will sit among slot machines and gambling tables. Oh how far this dress has fallen.
Multiply that number by the dozen venues the exhibition has visited in the past few years and it comes to roughly 19 million pounds.
Diana's wedding dress on her wedding day, whether you say it in person (not likely) or watched it on television (like me) was really a very overdone type of dress. Bows on the sleeves and the train was so long that it took about 5 minutes for her to get to the front of the church.
Compare that dress to what Kate wore to her wedding, a dress that was both elegant and regal. As I did when Diana got married, I watched Kate's wedding on television also. Why? Because what woman doesn't love a fairy tale and that fantasy doesn't get any better than watching a royal wedding!
