Yes, I will be getting up at 3 am to watch the royal wedding

And I hope her dress is fantabulous. I hope it has gorgeous sleeves and every bride in the world copies it and it totally transforms bridal fashion so maybe all these brides will stop wearing the same goddamn strapless dress they’re all wearing even though they LOOK LIKE SHIT.

Sleeves. Sleeves are good.

P.S. In the meantime, this narrated slideshow about past royal wedding gowns is cool.

    Will you blog about it? ’cause there is no way I’m getting up at 3am unless the old insomnia kicks in.

    PS: I’m sure you’ve heard of Tivo. Why do you want to watch it live?

    YES!! I’m not particularly interested in the wedding, since I got up at 2 am to watch Charles and Di and once is enough for a lifetime.

    But the dress. I’m definitely interested in that. And please oh please oh let it have sleeves. The strapless nightmares everyone’s wearing right now need to die.

    I’m kinda thinking it will have sleeves, since I’m betting that Her Majesty Grandma had to ok the design. And neither she nor anyone else would want anything that might look, well, sexy. Or that would have a chance of a wardrobe malfunction.

    I have the dvr set to record ABC’s coverage (Diane Sawyer & Barbara Walters) that’s listed from 1am-7am PST.

    Do you have a point of view on which network is best?

    Promised to burn dvds for a friend who’s quite over the moon in anticipation. I’m out of town Fri/Sat, so won’t get a look at it myself before Sun.

    Yes, totally for sleeves. I had sleeves. Big, poofy things.

    I don’t think there’s a chance it will be strapless, but they leaked yesterday that it will be “modern,” meaning sexy. So I’m guessing it will be a fitted gown with straps instead of sleeves.
