Dutch State Visit to Argentina: March 30-April 1, 2006 - Page 8

fanletizia · #**141** 03-30-2006, 06:37 PM

President Néstor Kirchner received in the Pink House to Queen Beatrix of Holland and Princes Guillermo of Orange and Maxima Zorreguieta, within the framework of the visit of State that the real family makes as of today to Argentina.
It was a strictly protocolic reception, although the gestures of calidez of the president and their wife did not need Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner with queen Beatriz and the princess Maxima, whom attention of the press monopolized to the Maxima because it was born in the country.
The deprived hearing, that was developed in the presidential office, extended during 50 minutes and was used for the interchange as gifts and decorations, but there was no company/signature in bilateral agreements nor agreements to its term. .
........
Kirchner and the first lady gave to queen Beatriz tulipán to him carved in gold and silver and to prince Guillermo kills with silver light bulb, both made by the goldsmith Juan Carlos Pallarols. To Maxima they flattered a work carved in rodocrocita and onix to him. Queen Beatrix gave to the presidential marriage two old pictures of America of the South DyN Source

Bad taste? Oh well, no! We just like hats that other people don't understand! (That's what art is about, understanding things that can't be understood, isn't it? :)) In my opinion it has something to do with having keen and interesting insights when it comes to find out what hats are really about. Most people don't come to such a mature stage of consiousness... :p

How about that?

(Yeah, I know. Most people would just call it bad taste, but you have to come up with something in case they do...)

Well done Maxie!!

Thanks for giving me my biggest laugh for the day!

Yes, we are just on a higher level of consciousness than most - that's why we like Trix's hats.

And of course we are! What about Maxi's hats? They're nice too, aren't they?

I like Maxima's hats too - she seems to be able to pull off anything. She has great taste. But I still like the Queen's hats a bit better - they just seem a little bit more original, or "one of a kind" to me. But I'm 100% positive that I am in the minority opinion by believing this.:o

Wait wait wait. i live in Argentina and I haven´t heard anything about bad press (really i only heard they were here today, the media only showed some pics of the glazier on monday i guess). Not even about Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo and K rudeness. The media seems quite bussy with another things and only care about Maxima not about the Queen (some of them talk about her like 'maxima mother in law') and hardly mention WA. On Clarin´s cover there was a pic of a soccer player and i could just find a publicity space (payed for ducth embassy perhaps?) about the Queen visit.
Well right now the tv is doing a report about them

Maxima looks nice. Love her hat

The reception is for the dutch community, so if you don´t have dutch passport you can´t go. You don´t need to read and write perfect dutch to go. At least I don´t do it, but I am invited because my husband is dutch.

By the way, cameras and cell phones are not allowed in the reception :(
