I agree with the noble Magnik, Letizia does look wonderful but needs a different hairdo and overall setting. As for Princess Mary wearing the Desiree Clary paurure, I go into orbit. I agree that her other tiara is just too understated. But in that DC parure contraption it dion't git no better
Bubba. After all with a tiara you want something there and I mean SOMETHING THERE. That is why I love all these big, gaudy flashy but wonderful goodies on the tops of these most noble ladies. I just cannot help but wondering how it really feels to wear a real honest to God diamond, etc contraption worth millions on the top on your lovely little or maybe not so little head.
Do they take headache powders or aspirin as a form of preventive medicine I wonder. is there such a thing as tiara shock or some such?? After all the exhualted Queen Mary herself complained to the Duchess of Devonshire (of all people) about her tiara being so heavy and having to wear it so long it was giving her a headache. Ah the sacrifices that one must make for public duty.
I have always wondered why they did not just use aluminum or some such and cover it with leaf of gold or some such. After all how much do all those diamonds etc weigh in the first place. There are I believe 132 carats in an ounce. just how difficult or painful would it be to wear a pound or so of quality diamonds, emeralds, sapphires or other gorgeous delights on your head. My goodness, a bicycle helmet must weigh as much and if I had such a contraption of diamonds and say sapphires to parade about in public a headache would be the fartherest thing from my feeble mind. Cheeers.
