I just noticed these photos. Thanks for posting them Lena and GrandDuchess. Hmm, where do I begin? Blue is a very nice colour on Victoria. She should wear it more often, but as everyone has said, that jacket is far too big on her. This photo is the worst angle of her jacket http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...hmentid=150111 Look at the back of it. Too bad I can't see her shoes. I'm sure I could have had a field-day. :P
More pics from the ALMA from Clasos, part 2
Extra for Danielle they have made a picture of her shoes I think those white shoes are better than THE white shoes and this time white shoes really fitted to the colours of the outfit, but I donīt get, why the Bernadotte-girls stick still on pointed shoes...arenīt those times over (well, maybe I say this just out of jealousy...my big feet, which are according to GrandDuchess not a big problem, but of course they are a BIG problem , wouldnīt fit into such shoes)
BTW isnīt amazing to "see" her eyes again...after the many photos, in which they were hidden behind glasses. Her eyes are so beautiful, she really shouldnīt "hide" them.
Crown Princess Victoria and the Pink Ribbon Campaign
Yesterday evening, the Crown Princess attended the Breast Gala benefiting the Pink Ribbon, hosted on live television by the Swedish channel TV3.
Summary of an Expressen article:
To Expressen she said that she shared many womens anxiety for getting breast cancer, and said that she will get examined more often, and thinks that more women should do that. She also Expressen anxiety for other forms of cancer that comes into our daily lives in our time.
- I think that we all think about it, in the same way that we all think that it cant happen to me. It is so unreal.
The women affected by breast cancer, who told their stories about their anxiety and treatments in the programme, made a strong impression in Victoria. - When one is the most hurt, to come out and tell others about it and make it into public support to others, that is so strong and unselfish.
She also drew a parallel to the time when she herself was affected by eating disorders. - I have felt very bad on my part, not to compare, but what affects one personally when one is feeling the worst, that is very hard to share.
About getting examined more often, she said: - I must admit that Im very bad at that, therefore its especially important to get an eye opener, that its something that everyone should do.

Being member of the secret organisation "Ponytail off for crown princess Victoria", I agree. But I can also see, that itīs more comfy to wear your hair in a ponytail, when you perform sports. Besides we donīt want her to get the Basketball into the face, because she doesnīt see it, donīt we?
