Are you referring to the wording "pay a visit"? It simply means "visit" or "do a visit", nothing to do with pay = money. That's just the expression.
So I guess the taxpayer will pay the money, as always

Not too sure what to think of Máxima's outfit - it looks like one of her leopard print dresses with a jacket worn over it. Her hat is great though

Hehe

Mhhhhhhhhhh.....

I think the outfit is okay, but i don´t like beige on her.

ZandraRae · #16 10-02-2007, 07:56 AM

Funny JessRulz. I think Maxima looks good, but she's looked better. I too like the hat. Hope she wears more vibrant colors though.

Don´t worry, she definately will

susan alicia · #18 10-02-2007, 08:49 AM

I do not like what she is wearing, some sort of jacket with a bow/knot tied in front and I always have considered animalprints rather tacky/common even on a princess.

I loved Maxima's outfit, it looks very elegent and appropriate for the state visit. I love the hat. Maxima tends to always have a lovely smile on her face. What a great suprise to see W-A from the airplane window in the pilots place.
