          Actually I was quite sure it was that Kate; I was pointing out that due to the “quality” of the painting it seemed rather presumptuous for the seller to refer only to “kate” without providing further information.

      Agreed. Her artistic interpretation of the future princess is quite wrinkly. “Very realistic. Very beautiful. Very surprising that the canvas wasn’t wadded up and then re-stretched upon completion.”

      Definitely Thomas Kincade-inspired, but none of his “work” can be part of a blue heron collection, unlike her Realistic Blue Heron Highly Detailed Artwor (“a wonderful edition to anyones Blue heron collection”)

    Ok, I’ve been wondering this since the fridge post: Why the ridiculous, crap-buying hysteria over royal British weddings? I mean, I get that it is a big deal to bring someone new into the royal family, but why the tea towels? Or the commemorative garden gnomes? Or the mugs? Or the t-shirts? Or the fridges, for crissakes? What’s next, commemorative condoms? Is there a Brit in the house who can explain this to me? Because I. Just. Don’t. Get. It.

      The royal family is a symbol of the nation, so it’s encouraging to see the next generation continuing the line.

    This lady didn’t paint it; she found it in an attic somewhere, aging as Kate Middleton should be, and if Kate ever sees it she’ll DIE. But at least we know the future Princess will be young and pretty forever. Oscar Wilde totally predicted this sort of shit would happen.

    It still looks nothing like Kate, but at least the proportions and perspective no longer make my brain hurt.
