Let me begin by saying that, yes, Carole Middleton is super-hot for her age (56). Yes, she is gym-toned and can certainly get away with shorter skirts and youthful style. But let me also say this - please, just not with her daughters by her side. I am pretty laissez faire about what people choose to wear - commenting usually only on what I absolutely love. It leads to a happier life. And who says people have to follow stinky rules? No. Express yourselves and have fun with clothes and fashion.
But when one is about to marry into the royal family, I do think dignity is required. And I really, really want to shout at dear old Carole, "have some dignity, woman!"
When you consistently look IDENTICAL to your daughters in their twenties, something is definitely amiss. And it is clear from that rather unsightly sheen on these legs, where Catherine (and Pippa's) rather middle-class, dated and unfortunate penchant for pantihose comes from. Sies, man. Stop it.
And just look at these sweet pics of William's parentals. Sure, much older. Sure, not as fit and hip as Kate's. But don't they look like the kind of folks you want to hang out with? Simplicity, style - yes a little fusty - but fun and totes appropres. Camilla beats Carole in my style stakes today. Boom.
