Yes it is, so it must be terribly exciting for him - doing such a big and far away trip as his first major overseas tour together with only his older sister. Victoria has done so many official overseas tour by now that she knows the drill, so I guess Carl Philip has good support in her.

Now I only hope to see Princess Madeleine doing this kind of thing in the future.

Not to ruffle any feathers here, but does anybody else think that Victoria needs a haircut? I think if she went shoulder-length or a little longer, it would make her look younger and she wouldn't always have to put it in a ponytail. She's beautiful but sometimes it seems like Victoria is purposely trying to cover it up!

I like the idea of a shoulder-length cut with layers! Maybe even some sideswept bangs?? The fact that they actually took a full length photo of her ponytail says something, that she needs a change. Her hair is beautiful and she could really do a lot with it.

Ehm, soCal, Janos, do you have so long hair as Victoria?
I have, and (in my opinion) I can say two things
1. I have long hair as she and now I know, that if I will cut it down, I will be very unhappy, because they are part of me, and they grew with me so long.
2. I'm wearing two or three hairstyles, because make something with long hair is very hard. And when I need go somewhere, I make ponytail

because it's simple and it holds hair together.
So if you have so long hair, I just wanna see your hairstyles for every day.

Ms Griffin · #31 08-31-2006, 01:48 AM

*raises hand* I had. Up until a few weeks ago. Then I was visiting my parents and my mom who is a former hairstylist cut it. Now my hair is a bit longer than shoulder length. While I loved and love just making a ponytail I can say that I equally often had my hair loose or swept up (in different ways). It is just a thing of 1-2 minutes, no more. And I'm a tomboy! I don't give much of a damn how I look on campus or when going to the city. My clothes, my hair- do and my non- existing make- up just need to be practical.

Yes, I do have long hair and I do sport a ponytail at times. Even brushing her hair and just leaving it down would be a nice change of pace. I know a person's hair is different for each person but we've seen Victoria in lovely, casual, every-day styles that doesn't include a ponytail. I don't except her to have some extravagant styles everyday just some change of pace now and then.

As much as this personal hair-styles' discussion is interesting, can we please stay on topic?

Thanks,

I think the visit went well! In all of the pictures, Victoria and Carl Phillip look very happy and they really seem close. All of her outfits very gorgeous as always.

rosalyn · #35 08-31-2006, 12:38 PM

Quite agree....must be very comfortable shoes!

Let's hope they do more state visits like that. I think that's cute. Pretend it was Westling instead of Carl P...

Victoria's worn two of her Australia outfits in China

. It's a good thing because her style was fabulous in Australia. Shame that the visit is coming to a close so soon.

I wish we had more pictures of Carl Philip. *sigh*
