:) Michelle, the pictures from the Gala evening 2003 are so beautiful--I love the scenes with Stephanie's children and their grandfather.The deep family love is so apparent and timeless. Stephanie should have the pictures framed..

I'm sure she has. BTW I heard that Steph paid for this years xmas lights at the Casino place herself. She had to fight for it and wanted it as an hommage to her father.

That's Steph:) ...it's a wonderful gesture of hers and I think it's a pitty that she had to pay for it all by herself ... the city should have done it !
Bravo Stephie ...

Actually I thougt the SBM paid for it, since it is on their premisses ( their president was there for the inauguration btw). The city only pays for public xmas lights. Everything around the Casino, including its gardens are property of the SBM.

Oh ok... that's what I meant. If the Societé de Bains de Mer did it with Steph ...then it is great...

Well, they did let her do it on their premisses, but apparently they didn't pay for it. Very strange though, since they would have done something anyways and they most certainly have plenty of money to pay for it too. So I am not 100% certain that they did't at least take a share of some of the bills. Unless they consider it is to do with the Circus Festival and should be paid from their pockets. On the other hand the SBM also gains from the Festival, so maybe they split the bill by 3. But the person who told me, was very insistent that it was her who paid for it.

Ok I see... I'll try to find out more. I'll ask my cousin, he could ask Steph ... but finally I'm not sure if he will 'cause this would be talk about money and we normall don't do that ;):)

But anyhow , the lighst are very nice and if Steph paid for it all by herself this makes her even more darling.
As she said on 'Hit Machine' : She doesn't like things to be shut off or stopped half the way cross... she goes for something a 100% or she doesn't go for it at all...

oh, I wouldn't bother about it if it doesn't come up naturally in a conversation. It is not important and besides I don't like money talk either, except maybe at the bank which is where it belongs IMO.

Very cute, Ianna :)

Only a few days left - next Festival starting this thursday !!!
 
Great findings Ianna and only a few days left till we'll get new circus pics, that's great! :)
 
Wonderful pics Ianna! I once saw like 5 years, a pic of Stephanie dressed as a clown in the late 70s at the festival and she was watching Franco Knie perform.
 
Beautiful photos! Thanx Fanletizia and Iceflower!;)

I also like new design of Circus scarf..During Prince Rainier's time scarves were white/red with logo of ICF so new one it's maybe related to the fact that now Princess Stephanie is in charge for circus events in Monaco, and gives an idea of new "era" of circus performances..:)

One funny photo of sweet clown Stephanie..:p

These are avatars I made for the 25th, 29th and 30th circus. For the other years, I want to make avatars too but only if I find good 'scarf' pics. I'd like to be able to have the year legible.

Hey, the circus scarves are yellow this year instead of the usual Monaco colors! What's the deal with yellow? Any particular reason for it or did they just want something different?

I think the reason is that this is a special edition of the Festival, I suppose they might go back to red-and-white next year . :)
 
I hope not. Everyone said how great they look and that they prefer them to the other ones (maybe too much resemblance to the ASM scarf). People were talking about it on the bus and when picking up the kids from school and I heard everyone say how much they like the new design and colour.
 
How come Charlotte, Pierre, Andrea and Alexandra dont attend the Festival anymore?
