I'll be Owen and Myadia can be Jackie: www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3xUmCMQ0gY&feature=youtube_gdata_playerI think it's the Brazilians who do meat the best. You go to a steakhouse and they come around with meats on skewers at your table. It's an orgy of meat. I personally cook meat more for my dog than ever for myself. I also make tourtieres for my neighbours who go crazy for a meat pie or sometimes a cipâte which i've only ever made for my cute gay couple of friends across the street. In fact, I'm trying to customize them a Jubilee cipâte by switching wine for sherry (or something, I'll figure it out). I consider myself 95% vegetarian. Only when I get iron deficient, I have to indulge. It's the price of having been raised by a carnivore mother who served meat daily except on Fridays (thank God!), your body is conditioned to ingest meat. Again too, if I'm invited somewhere and they serve meat, I eat it without making a stink and atone for it later. No biggie.

I'm a bit familiar with the region and indeed, I've never seen anyone fire up a BBQ anywhere on the Cote d'Azur. She may want to transfer that menu for the soccer events where most players are foreigners and carnivores. What an insult to French cuisine! A BBQ!?! You can take the girl out of the backwater but you can't take it out of the girl. You don't see it because there is no space to do so. And even if you have your own garden, you might not be allowed to due to the danger of flying sparks....villas do have a cuisine d'ete in the region, and they are used, but there is no major grilling like i;e in Germany. There used to be a be a beach in Antibes where you could grill at the beach, but I think they wanted to close that down. Though local people were pretty outraged at the time, so not sure if you can still do it.

Hey, I love BBQs! I don't find anything wrong with having a BBQ fundraiser. depending on the items grilled, it can be quite refreshing. Ther are many more things to grill than a slab of cow. I guess I am one of those girls you "can take the girl out of the backwater but you can't take it out of the girl." I love BBQ too. But as a fundraiser all by themselves, I just don't see it. Not in MC. People want to show off and you can't show off at a BBQ. That's more the kind of thing you could expect at a casual summer party. If you did sth else, like some kids summer party, you could integrate BBQ. But you don't wear Haute couture to a barbie....

This is really weird. This woman - who I quite haven't figured what exactly is her product - sent Charlene one of her products and the letter below is Charlene's response stating that she would place it at her Foundation. What exactly is a Diamond Composition? Please read the rest of her article and please can someone describe what exactly she is, what she does and what is her product. She lives in Germany, so Paca perhaps you can interpret for us (even though it is written in English. ;D
Diamonds found by HSH Princess Charlène of Monaco
Global Ambassador for "Special Olympics", HSH Princess Charlène is planning to start her new Foundation's office for which she picked a diamond composition.
[/b] The Global Ambassador for "Special Olympics", Her Serene Highness Princess Charlène of Monaco is planning to start her new Foundation's office for which she picked Dodo Newman's diamond composition. Dodo Newman is known by the Titanic Commemorative Project made with Swarovski Crystals, which triggered the connection with the South African Swimming Champion Princess. HSH Princess Charlène already owns a Titanic Commemorative Memorabilia (Nr. 153) and she fell in love with the unique resin compositions experimented by the artist Newman. I believe in the Good. My Soul is guided by my inner energies that have to manifest themselves through my art and will never fade. The word I gave to describe Myself and my Life Inspirationaliste was born after I decided not to be called an Artist anymore. It was a way for me to express my detachment from all that is usual and my aim to be different. I am able to visualize things that are unique, and I want You to see and feel them as well - I want You to be inspired. My vocation is to make You participate in the eternal beauty of life. I am the Inspirationaliste. ... ... read the rest here[/blockquote]

Apparently she does some kind of art using swarovski crystals and plexiglas/raisin. Obviously trashy loves it seeing that it glitters. The artist sent her the pic for free, surely hoping it would get attention and sell for a better price.

Well, she's got the right name . Dodo artist to team with Dodo princess....how fitting? ;D ....and in a place where REAL princesses have gone extinct. ....a celebration of synthetics? I only see synthetic resins in the pieces? I didn't check them all out, but I don't really see where she used diamonds and gold, as she claimed? Perhaps she does...somewhere? There is also a "brand name" Diamond Resin (?), but it's a synthetic composition too. I'm not sure how she incorporates the other elements that she claims are part of her pieces--they pretty much looked just like any other resin paintings to me ? Her personality seemed very Charlene....another person who see's herself "more special" than anyone else calling themself an Artist. I know she is trying to promote her work, but there are echo's of Charlene's own grandiosity there--no wonder they hit it off. In spite of the obvious reference ;D, Charlene also has some of the same physical attributes as the Dodo bird (before her "beak" rhinoplasty ) the large beak style nose, and there is also the feet, awkward clumsy body, and most of all.....wait for it ......her complete lack of ability to get off the ground! ;D (come on Albert ;D even you know I'm right! )

It is rumoured that the Foundation is temporarily stopped...
Because Charls do not speak French.

Seriously? And that comes as a surprise? It's not as if she spoke fluent French and forgot everything overnight...

LOL! I think an idiot thought she would speak it...

what does her lack of speaking the language have to do with stopping the foundation? It wasn't as if she intended to be doing anything in MC or France. Remember she wanted to go to 5 continents or sth...unless Albert presented her with the divorce papers the night of their first anniversary as soon as he heard of his nephews engagement ;D

I think the same.
The timing and she’s over the top dressed up in Paris (desperate for attention?). She better save money.. she has to pay a lawyer.

Very odd but not surprising - her foundation seems useless anyway she doesn't do anything.

Charlene, girl you truly struck gold. Truly! No other princess what ever get away with what Charlene does (and doesn't do). NO ONE - EVER! Paca, you get the gold star for predicting that Charlene's foundation would just be one big checkbook for her discretion - and the photo fix to feed her narcissism. Don't you just love how they are trying to make it seem that the SA Olympic Swim team is filled with CHILDREN. I love the photo that they decided to use for the story - the photo that Charlene took for her photo opp with the rent-a-children at the South African pool. Good lawd this girl is good! I could look up the swimmers on the Olympic team and their ages - but does it really matter. We all know they are not children she is helping. I actually do not have a problem with Charlene helping out the SA Swim team. As a former struggling swimmer, she definitely understands how hard these underfunded teams have it. But, didn't all the news make it seem that Charlene was personally financing their stay? If Charlene was willing to pay almost $90,000 for a diamond necklace for herself at auction and spend tens of thousands of dollars for a bottle of wine at another auction, why couldn't she use her own money to support the SA Swim team? Why use the Princess Charlene Foundation's money - which was touted is to help CHILDREN and WOMEN in need? I'M SORRY, BUT I JUST HAVE TO SAY IT AGAIN, SOME DAYS IT MUST BE REALLY GOOD TO BE THE FORMER CHARLENE WITTSTOCK. This woman has a bunch of fools who are willing to donate money to her foundation so she can use it as her own personal checkbook. You struck gold girl, with a sucker like Al! From the Sucker's Palace:
July 9, 2012 HSH Princess Charlene invited the South African swimmers selected for the London Olympics to train in the Principality.
The Princess would like these very promising young athletes to benefit from the best possible conditions before the Games.
With the support of Her Foundation, the Princess made certain the swimmers would follow a rigorous physical preparation programme perfectly adapted to the Olympic Games.
The Princess said she would be extremely attentive to the proper organisation of their stay, which should last from 8 to 22 July in Monaco.
