Gloria is very nice, wearing in these clothers, the combination of the colours pleasant to the eye!

Thanks for posting this, A Friend! Lilly looks nice in this slightly blue Dirndl. I have always liked her a lot.

They are beautiful pictures. Can't believe Lilly is 25.

 

[Patra]

OMG-you wont believe THIS HAIR!

Imageshack - preview156av.jpg

She looks like a ostrich in royal jewels-or maybe a peacock- Im cracking up over here!!!!!

 

[Dierna23]

This was a normal day in the life of Gloria during the 80ies.

 

[A Friend]

Hello, Lumutqueen,

LILLY is NOT 25, she is 37. The number 25 refers to the date of her birthday. (She was born on 25th September 1972).
GLORIA is 49. (She was born on 23th February 1960).

Many greetings,

A Friend

[Dierna23]

Thanks for posting this, I missed it. Say what you want, but german comedian Harald Schmidt is just priceless.

 

[Patra]

What is up with her HAIR in the photo, does she own a BRUSH (maybe it was auctioned off at Christies or Sotherbys)???

Sometimes I am sad that Gloria's style is not so crazy anymore today.

[Patra]

Valentino's expression says it all, doesn't it? Too funny. To me he's saying, "I can't believe they sat me next to this crazy woman, and I'm supposed to smile as if she's not looking like hideous fashion train wreck!"

 

[Dierna23]

Yes, he indeed looks a bit suspicious.

Here a few more pics of quite different looks of Gloria:

This first pic here is actually a nice one of Gloria (check out those baubles)
But in this second one, how in the world did she get her hair to do that?!

 

[Dierna23]

I really don't know. As I remember right most of those "crazy" hairdo's were "creations" of the famous munich hairdresser Gerhard Meir and she was called the "Punk-Princess" in those days.

 

[Opal]

She must have used hair extensions and LOTS of hair spray! She really did have some extreme looks back in her day. She wasn't boring that's for sure!

Hello,

[Opal]

I know who Gloria von Thurn und Taxis is but who is this Lilly person??

 

[Dierna23]

It is Princess Marie Louise "Lilly" zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, the former wife of Alexander, Prince of Schaumburg-Lippe.

 

[Opal]

ok thank you Dierna23.

 

[Dierna23]

You're more than welcome, Opal!

Here's another pic of Princess Lily from September 2009:

Princess Marie Loiuse is still fond of daring gowns. She does have a nice figure to pull them off.

Hello,

Here is a new photo of LILLY:

Opal, in former times, GLORIA and LILLY were known as the two "Punk Princesses" because of their crazy outfits (LILLY is a professional dressmaker, so she created her crazy outfits herself ). This purpose of this Thread is to collect links to photos and videos of their crazy outfits. Unfortunately, GLORIA has become very conservative now, and it seems LILLY is no longer as crazy as she used to be either, but she is still quite attractive.

Many greetings,

A Friend

Thanks for the explanation A Friend. Since neither of the ladies dress "crazy" anymore perhaps you could start posting pics of them in current outfits from now on like the other fashion threads do. Just a suggestion.

 

[A Friend]

Unfortunately, new pictures of LILLY seem to be rare nowadays, and most of GLORIA's current outfits are--in my personal opinion--not interesting enough for posting in a Thread that is to show the Princesses' crazy past (some current, "quite acceptable" outfits can be found here). Of course, Forum members, feel encouraged to post pictures and videos of current outfits. If I find pictures/videos I think they are worth posting, I will post them.
