if they continue at this rate you may just get your wish granted. I have been away only since August and the change for the worse was amazing. I was here few weeks ago, I have to say I didn't find too much change. then you didn't notice the closing of banks and shops? The xmas lights at the casino were extremely downsized to previous years, the xmas market at the port practically empty and from what I hear residents leave the country asap as they can on weekends and holidays. The orchestra will soon be only about half size plus they are not finding a new chef.

Construction that used to be solely financed by the state is now going to be financed privately, hence things will be decided by private investors and that is where the majority of the money will go. With the judgement of Albert and his lot, they will do major money laundering via public construction projects. ASM has been sold to a suspected murderer (there is no smoke without fire, especially in Russia). The economic strategy is to cater to rich Russians and that is their only strategy.

Is it my imagination or has Trampolina not worn any Armani since the wedding? i think once Armani met her, saw her, experienced her true trashy persona and was probably horrified and said NO more clothes for the trashy tranny. she doesn't sell the the clothes, she makes thousand $$$ outfits look like walmart and when you don't sell you don't get the perks. if she wanted to she could just buy them (and who doesn't like Armani?) but she goes with the free stuff or the stuff her "sylists" (gawd what an awful job) tells her to wear. Akris jumped her bandwagon and thought they'd ride her to fame (pun intended) i can't say it looks to be working out for them. everything Kate wears sells out in hours, i imagine everything trashy wears goes to the sale rack WE ALL KNOW she doesn't even have taste in her mouth much less her style. she puts on what someone tells her to put on and still looks like an ugly tranny, while trying to imitate grace (wonder how long she practices in the mirror.....heck wonder if she even recognizes herself in the mirror) and sleep walk her way through life (i really, really suspect JMO she has some major issues>>> all the other chemistry she seems to put into herself ) trashy doesn't sell covers on magazines and aside from the lower media that takes FatAl's payola she's a nobody and the couple are a joke, the marriage a fake and it's all been a big PR FAIL. abcnews.go.com/Health/Cosmetic/story?id=4111256&page=1i found this interesting, someone said she'd had new work done, i can't find any photos and i even tried the sugah board. of course she's so arrogant i'm sure she'll do what she wants but if i were trying to get pregnant, i sure wouldn't be doing plastic work. (but if it keeps the non dynamic duo from breeding>>you go gurl ) ITA! She doesn't sell... at all. Armani is obviously very high-end and the women who can afford it don't look up to Charlene as some kind of elegant fashionista. She could never be in their league. There's nothing that Charlene has that they would/could ever envy. So, not a good fit for Armani brand. Now with Akris, they get more notoriety and coverage from being worn by a princess-- coverage that they haven't had in the past.

And yes, some shops were closed, you are right. But Ladurée was not.

So, paca & others confirm that Monaco is going to dogs, it has been actually going down for some time. But in country without freedom of speech, Albert & Co can still brag how economy improved because of the wedding of century.

My expectations of her is that she will appear to the Oscars and the Rose Ball after the Circus Festival. By this way she will be working once a month in the events. Did somebody sent her to SA or to school?

I wish CW would learn that just because a dress or coat has a designer label on it doesn't make it stylish, wonderful, or even wearable. She just doesn't seem to have any instinct forget about taste for great fashion. The latest Akris dress she's photographed in it just ridiculous. The entire dress from the bust down is comprised of what looks like people at a party or something. It's really hideous -IMO. If it's a statement she's trying to make - like her panda dress - it's doesn't work.

Here's our trashy princess in a few places the last week - well she didn't attend them (that would require a two week vacation in between) but was replicated. I'm not sure of the second one but I think it's her...the lips....she's had so many incarnations now.

In my opinion, the narcissistic Con artist is really upset that people are making fun of her awful Oscar appearance - so she is trying to change the subject. Just reported that she will host the south Africa Swim team during their training for the Olympics. This is actually her FIRST time offering them assistance. This assistance has come AFTER she fully sponsored Zimbabwe swimmer Kirsty to live and train in Monaco (by the way Kirsty has left Monaco and went to the U.S. to train).
Swim SA gets royal lifeline
by Jean Smyth 28 February 2012
The Princess of Monaco Charlene Wittstock has come to the aid of Swimming South Africa (Swim SA).
Eyewitness News Sport understands she has offered to host the South African Olympic Swimming team for free, ahead of the London 2012 Olympics.
Swim SA is in major financial strife following the exit of a major sponsor and problems with Lotto funding.
Recently, the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc) called for financial assistance.
Sascoc CEO Tubby Reddy said the former Olympian will allow Swim SA an opportunity to base operations in the principality from June 1.
He said, “We only have to cover travel expenses. She will take care of everything else. She’ll provide the facility, nutrition and accommodation.”

Not Charlene will host and pay. She lives off Monaco's and Alberts money herself. Since years - not even learning the local languages. Local people will organize everything and care for the team. The Princess only poses.

There are plenty of empty rooms in Monaco's hotels....nobody uses the pool either, as for the nutrition...her stupid husband will pay. It is so easy to be charitable with other people's money.

The South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc) wants to set the record straight about the timing of Charlene's offer to host the SA swim team. Charlene made the offer last July so the offer is not due to the team's current money problems. My question: Don't you find it rather convenient that the offer was publicly announced the day after Charlene is being ridiculed in the press even though she made it 8 months ago? I am assuming that the Swim Team would have NEVER publicize this without Charlene's permission. Never. This woman was a big fat flop at what she believed was going to garner her international press as the best dressed lady at the Oscars and instead she was a laughing stock. So, now she wants to try to turn the press into another of her manufactured persona - the great humanitarian. I hope this team has a back up plan come June 1st because every time Charlene does something to garner attention to herself - it backfires big time. Why couldn't the hosting of the team just have been a personal selfish and PRIVATE gesture. Albert has hosted tons of athletes and they never did a press release to let everyone know. Charlene has even hosted the swimmers in her apartment before and no one did a press release. But, after the Oscar's ridicule, I guess she need a positive attention fix real soon. From the Daily News:
Princess’s offer not due to money trouble March 1 2012 By Barbara Cole and Simone Samuels
Princess Charlene of Monaco’s offer to host the South African Olympic swimming team ahead of the 2012 Olympics had nothing to do with Swimming South Africa’s financial woes, the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc) has said.
Sascoc chief executive Tubby Reddy said SSA’s apparent financial woes were a “separate issue”.
Lotto had not allocated funding for the Olympic year and although Telkom had indicated that it would be continuing its sponsorship – with these major financial backers having “closed the tap”, this presented difficulties, he said.
However, Reddy said: “The princess’s decision to host the team was made sometime last year after discussions about where the team would have their base camp, and she has offered to provide facilities, meals and accommodation which has nothing to do with SSA’s finances.”
The princess had offered the team her support last year when Durban hosted the International Olympic Organising Committee.
“It has nothing to do with bailing them out. The princess was always going to host them,” said Mark Keohane, the spokesman for Sascoc, the multi-code body.
He was commenting on a report by Eyewitness News Sport which said that the princess, former South African Olympian swimming star Charlene Wittstock, had come to the aid of SSA by offering to host the country’s swimming team for free ahead of the London Olympics.
Swimming SA was in financial difficulties following the loss of a major sponsor and “problems” with Lotto funding, the report said, adding that Sascoc had recently called for financial assistance.
“This is old news. Someone has mistakenly connected the two issues (the offer and the financial situation). The team was always going to go there.”
Sascoc chief executive Tubby Reddy said that the princess will allow the team the chance to base operations in the principality from June 1.
“We only have to cover travel expenses… She’ll provide the facility, nutrition and accommodation,” Reddy said.
Keohane said that the Olympic swimming squad had not been chosen yet. The team could number anything from 15-30 swimmers, he said.
The SSA office was unable to comment as reaction had to come from the chief executive, Shaun Adriaanse, and the president, Jace Naidoo, who were unavailable.
Team SA hope to win 12 medals at the Olympic Games in London in July and August.
“The medals would come from swimming, athletics and maybe cycling, canoeing and rowing,” Tubby Reddy said.
He was speaking after the Sascoc leadership had briefed Parliament’s portfolio committee on sport and recreation on Thursday. This was after they had spent R34 million on preparations for the Olympics and R15m more to “deliver the team”. He expected between 12 and 14 sport codes of 26 to qualify for the games. They would send a team of more than 100 to the games, he said.
Sascoc president Gideon Sam told the committee that it was R50m short for incentives to athletes in London.

I think she caught on to Kim Kardashian's methods to her popularity. Case in point, Eringer's Q&A was flooded with unsolicited info about Kim K right after the NYC Incident, as if they were chasing an ambulance to get in the shot. CC is going to plant her name on Twitter as much as possible. It's the next step after flooding royalty blogs. It's the budget way of famewhoring - use social media!

I don't know where to post this, so MyAdia please move it where you fell would be more appropriate. The moniker is familiar from suga-board. Do you suppose this is WC flunkey's fantasy or is "our Charlene" herself becoming more bold or I should say more desperate? www.tumblr.com"thtregoddess11:The Serene Diaries: Back in Monaco
7:42 Le Roc. Monac is lying at my feet. Mila has her head on Albie’s pillow. Mama’s asleep in the room next door.
Albie DID call me last night. He misses me terribly, but knows he has his duties to attend to in West Africa. We talked on the phone on Valentine’s Day. I hate it when he is away. Especially on Valentine’s Day. He did, however, have my favorite flowers and chocolates sent to me at the office today. Cecile brought them in around lunchtime. I left them on my desk at the palace. A few minutes after she left me alone in my office again, I got a SMS from Albie: “Happy Valentine’s Day, sweetie. Won’t You be My Valentine? Love and miss you! Talk later tonight? Left one of my shirts for you by the way.”. I smiled, and sent him one back right away: “Only if you’re planning on being mine, honey! You’d better call me! Thank you. I love you too!”
Our conversation that night:
Me: hey, baby.
Albie: Hey, I’m lookin’ for this pretty blonde lady that lives at this address with her husband and two dogs? And her mother is presently visiting her and her hubby’s out of town…know her?
Me: I just might. Do you know where I can find my prince of a husband?
Albie: I sure do!
Me: You’re so modest, honey. I miss you.
Albie: I love and Miss you. How’s mom?
Me: I love you too. Mama’s great. She’s playing with our children right now….and trying to talk me into letting her revamp our whole garden!
Albie: I don’t see why not. Tell her I said go ahead.
Me: Will do. Everything’s fine here, honey. Our kids are doing well. Mama’s going to take Mila for some obedience training at CIERA in La Turbie tomorrow, and stay with her at Mama and Dad’s place there that evening. So tomorrow, it’s a Mommy-and-Monac-Night.
Albie: That’s fine. How’s the weather?
Me: Cold. But not bad. It was only got up to like 9* today. I could’ve used a cuddle buddy at lunch. How’s Mali?
Albie: I’m sorry I wasn’t there to cuddle. Next time, promise. Mali’s good. I inaugurated the honorary consulate yesterday. It got up to 17* here.
Me: Please bring some of that back home with you, if nothing else?
Albie: I can try. How’s the training going with Liney?
Me: Good…Mama’s a slave driver as usual (Mama in the background: I heard that!!). I love you Mama! Albie gave you the go-head with the garden, by the way. (Mama: I love you too. Say hello to that husband of yours for me.) Will do. Albie, Mama says hi.
Albie: Hi Mama. Well, babes, I love chatting with you, but it’s getting kinda late here, and I need to be up really early for that thing tomorrow…I love you.
Me: I love you too, honey. Good night. Thank you for the flowers and chocolates, by the way.
Albie: You’re welcome. Sweet dreams, my princess.
After we hung up, I washed my face, brushed my teeth, splashed on a dab of his cologne, slipped into one of his dirty shirts, took care of Mila & Monac, made some tea, and said goodnight to Mama, then crawled in bed with my Ipad and read for a bit while drinking tea. I found this great new book of South African poetry! I love it! I decided to fly home to travel with Mama and Liney for the last couple of days of training and the “show” in London. I’m excited for her! First the circus, now the Olympics!
To Do:
Dentist Appointment 09:45 French Lesson at 1:30 Meeting of Monaco’s Red Cross Call Albie Grocery shopping Clean refrigerator Call Liney!!!! Call Stephie!
Oh no, Mama’s coming in. Oh Good. She has tea. Yay. Quality Mother-daughter time! More later!"
