A technicolor dreamcoat for the fairytales of Alladdin,but she can pull that off if anyone can...:)
Nearly everything. ;)
Now, my love or respect for the Queen didn't diminish in any way because of her yesterday's choice of outfit (and today's too, for that matter), but even Queen Beatrix can't pull that off.

Great description, by the way. :D

The ANP & PPE Gallery shows the reception after the performance on the roof terrace of the Swissotel,Istanbul where HM met with several representatives of Dutch activities in Istanbul and Turkey.It was a surprise that the Turkish president and Mrs.Gül attended the reception at the Swissotel as they flew out from Ankara especially for that.Planned at the last moment,sort of,but a warm gesture towards HM
