OMG - this ball is so low class looking! What's even worse is that it hardly got any media coverage. Seriously, the lack of any serious press is really bad for Monaco. I did a search and there are hardly any articles or photos about the ball. Honestly, what you are seeing is the Charlenificaiton of Monaco - low class, cheap and extremely vulgar. Charlene's kindergarten antics to play to the media that she and Caroline are really best friends and she and Albert are just so much in love backfired - as all her schemes do. Charlene walking in with Caroline only adds to the separate lives rumors and her attempt to show how lovey dovey she and Albert are actually shows the opposite. It shows a desperate woman trying to hard by hanging over her husband like a cheap suit - Charlene's the initiator not Albert. Good lawd this woman is so low class and vulgar looking! Those boobs and that plastic face just look absolutely gross. Strapless gowns really are not her friends because she looks like a man in drag. Here she looks like a desperate floozy trying to hang onto a man who isn't the least bit interested in her. The irony is that Charlene has probably spent more than anyone in that room to look as cheap as she does. But, check out all the guests surrounding them on the dance floor - so cheap looking. In most of the photos, Albert's body is turned away from Charlene who is always the aggressor and always playing for the cameras. I just cannot get over how much Charlene looks like a man in these photos! It seems that someone purposely did not halo/soften her features on these photos as they normally have to.

Someone just pointed out to me that the sleazy brother is not there with his girlfriend. Also there are no photos of the parents attending either. Wonder where the brother is these days? they probably were told that locals were not at all impressed with her family and his bragging, so I guess he was stashed away somewhere. Didn't he say sth about London? Mom apparently didn't find a suitable wallet for herself yet, and since dad so obviously doesn't fit,they probably spent the evening in a bar..

Seriously, compared to all the years that i have been following this ball, this is the lowest amount of press that I have seen about the Rose ball. actually, they should be happy because I think the media is following the adage that if you don't have anything nice to say - then "don't say nothing at all. This ball looks trashy and the media is being polite and just not saying it! Don't be surprised if there are some articles about how less glamours Monaco has become (instead of saying how trashy it looks).
Seriously, this is the Charlenification of Monaco. There is a handful of flunkie bloggers that sing her praises no matter what and this woman really believes them. It is a known fact that I do not like Charlene - I just do not like Con artists - just do nt. Trust me, there are a lot of people in the media who find this woman vulgar, but they will never publish those exact words. They just remain quiet. Charlene has surrounded herself with a flunkie bubble who praise worships her telling her how perfect. elegant, classy and if course stunning she looks - NO MATTER WHAT SHE WEARS.
There was NOTHING special about Charlene's Akris gown nor her hairstyle (which actually made her face look harsher) - NOTHING SPECIAL - just plain and drab. Charlene knows the power of a photo setup, but most in the media does also, so her hanging all over Albert as proof of their love is NOT convincing - but to those already in Charlene's flunkie bubble. Yet, Charlene's flunkies are worshiping her as the best dressed woman in the room including calling her a genius for her hairdo AND showing Charlene's desperate setup photos as proof of how happy and in love she and Albert are. Thus, this woman will always look vulgar in both her actions and manners AND the runaway bride stories will never go away!

You have to notice though that she is trying harder to look happier there then in previous photo ops. I suspect that someone told them that her pretend demure is generating negative press. So now she is trying hard to smile more. Not sure if its the botox or because she doesn't feel it, but the smile doesn't reach the eyes in most cases and thus she comes across like a calculating bad actress. Also fatal doesn't seem to have gotten the pretend to be happy memo. He is his usual self: happy to be partying, but couldn't be bothered with his company. So far I have only seen one article in MC matin, often they have more follow up then that, publishing who was seated on which table. And then there was one on German Yahoo, but that one was mostly about Pete and how out of place he was de.omg.yahoo.com/blogs/-royal-girl/royal-r%C3%BCpel-rocker-pete-doherty-st%C3%BCrmt-den-rosenball-130620229.html

Also fatal doesn't seem to have gotten the pretend to be happy memo. He is his usual self: happy to be partying, but couldn't be bothered with his company. Of course it is very noticeable that Charlene has dumped the stupid demure look. She finally realized that unlike what her stupid flunkies kept telling her, her semi-smile DID NOT look elegant, serene and demure - it made her look childish and sulky. Only an idiot would think that a woman who looks like a linebacker can pretend to be demure. With all of Charlene's efforts to change, she still comes across as Paca stated a "calculating bad actress." The terrible paradox that is Charlene's life is that she cannot be her natural self - which is a trashy demeanor, trashy behavior, trashy attitude and trashy dress - so she has to fake being someone else - which comes across a a trashy looking calculating bad actress." Monaco Matin states in he photo captions that 800 people showed up so we should realize that if they are admitting to 800 - much less than 800 attended! This ball has gone way down - seriously we are watching the Charlenification of Monaco. The Daily Mail did two article about the ball - focusing purely on the British performers Pete Doherty and Imelda. Of the two articles, there was NOT ONE SINGLE mention of Charlene the supposedly flagship of Monaco - NOT ONE! Albert was only mentioned one in passing - "Pete was seen spectating and chatting in the bar before he took to the stage with his guitar to play some tracks for the audience, which onsisted of stars including Sir Roger Moore, Karl Lagerfeld and Prince Albert of Monaco." There was NOT one single photo of anyone else at the ball. The Daily Mail even referred to these two performing at a "Monaco gig."

I just saw the two new covers that Grimnir posted in the Media Depiction of the Marriage thread - "Separate ways: why does one always see them alone?" and the other "Princess Charlene: So happy - without Albert."[/color] (see this post). Charlene's over the top bad acting is in response to those latest tabloids. Doesn't this silly pea-brain woman realize that the ONLY people she ever convinces with these fake poses are those who already believed in this trashy non-existent love story. To sane people, she looks like a calculating floozy just playing to the cameras.

if Roger moore and KL were there, why didn't we see any pics? I am sure that KL would have been seated near Caro, but instead she was seated next to the creator of Diesel. Not really her alley, when it comes to clothes, but apparently he likes art. Wonder where the mother of his 5 kids was.... Moore used to always attend as did SHirley Bassey. But we saw pics of neither. IMO some of the rags are making up guests who used to always be there and they assumed that they were there this time too, just managed to escape the photographers. IMO it really shows what those people who did not miss a single ball think of the new MC. Maybe Pete was an attempt to attract a different crowd. But instead they scared the regulars away, which they can not efford. They need to find a way to attract a younger crowd without scaring away the oldies. Only once they have established a fixed set of new regulars, they can start to do without the remnants from the Grace and Rainier time. But at present they still need names that ring a bell with someone. Even at the tabloids they have younger people working now, who might not know the oldies, though Moore and Bassey still ring a bell. And as long as they haven't established a new worth mentioning crowd, they will need those to get any press at all. ANd without press, people with a name won't come. I also have to say that Caros kids do not draw the new stars. They are not mixing with them. They are keeping within their superrich clique, but they do not mingle and form friendships with those that are in public view. That is ok for them, if that makes them feel safe and secure and to protect their privacy, but they don't seem to have the talent to attach artistic people to themselves without letting them get too close.What works well for them as private people, is not good if they are supposed to benefit MC. And since they are drawing on MC for what they do, then they need to change their approach to people. Trashy is too common to attract people and Caros kids are too elitist.

Paca, I think the stint in NYC for Andrea was supposed to mix him in with the NYC young elite crowd like Ivanka Trump or Aerin Lauder, whose grandmother used to have a villa in Cap Ferrat, and was quite close to Grace. None of this seemed to have happened. Who knows why Pierre was in NYC when he got bashed in the face (there are those who think it was Charlene's family who set this up?), and then there is Charlotte the face of Gucci who should also be mingling with the elite doers and shakers, but this too does not seem to be happening (and she should have been wearing Gucci at the ball not Chanel). Perhaps it's because Uncle Albie has thrown a selfish monkey wrench into things and they see no reason to step up to the plate. Why bother if they are no longer really heirs to the throne? Albert has basically ruined Monaco completely. I think the boys absence spoke volumes about the future of Monaco. Now they don't have the older crowd either, but as paca pointed out the new face of the crowd was the Arab Sheik. While Rainier prevented Onassis from owning Monaco, Albert has left the door open to all the wolves. Perhaps Caroline is smart in moving her trio out of this toxic orbit. JMO.

Hey guys, I went over to Eringer this morning just to view and some troll has been taking shots at me over there. I have challenged the troll to pay us a visit here. Game on!! The loonie thinks I'm Nadia LaCoste and that I think Thierry is Rainier's bastard son. OMG hilarious!

From what I gather about the bashing up press, I suspect that what I put as eltist is probably perceived by bystanders as snobbish. Especially with the boys I can imagine that they are a bit full of themselves, thinking they own the world. I do believe that they lacked being put in their place whilst growing up, possibly out of the reflex to overindulge them due to the loss of their father. Admittedly it isn't easy to raise kids and especially not in the limelight. A lot of them end up with one or the other problem, with boys mostly an attitude problem. Caro seems to have at least succeeded in having a good relationship with all of them. But already she is being perceived by a lot of people as being snobbish and sticking mostly to her own crowd. Only her personal interests took her where she could meet with people of her time. Obviously she met KL due to being his client and KL knew that he could use her well for his own publicity. He is after all a master in generating media attention fo himself and his purposes. Now an aging Caro probably does not appeal to him, especially with all the young and fresh faces he is surrounded by on a daily basis. That meks her appear even older. And even though CHarlotted does have the looks, she does lack IT. She attracts media the way Steph did, solely by her connection to the family. Luckily she hasn't chosen the scandalous side...yet. Caro would have attracted attention without being a Grimaldi. Charlotte draws attention because she is her mothers daughter. She has yet to show or grow a personality of her own, interesting enough for people to want to know her or know about her. As I said mixingwith your own set is fine when you are a private person, but they aren't. Too often have they benefitted of their family name and as adults have chosen to court the media. Had they continued as they did growing up and never spoken to the press, there would not be expectations on them. But now that they have decided for themselves to use their family for their own benefits, they need to work on giving back, if they do not want gain the attributes selfish, snob or playboy, which is probably the way Andrea will soon be referred to mostly, as no one ever sees him at work or do anything other then going out. I don't think it is all Alberts fault, but he needs to sit down and figure out what he wants to achieve and how to get there. He needs to get them all together and figure out which part they want to play and how they should go about. At this stage it is all pretty unorganized and there is no clear profile what each one of them wants to stand for. The trio is approaching their 30s. That is high time to know who you are are what you want to do. And then do it.

excellent points but we're talking faTal>>>path of least resistance and no confrontations, let the flying monkey flunkies worry about it, he's got green footprints to stomp, ideals to mock and a party to attend.
i don't blame caro or her kids, moronaco is doomed, WE all know that,why be anywhere or do anything that the stain could would fall on them, FaTal and the non dynamic duo are a failure, i wouldn't do anything that would give him power to point the finger with blame (and we all know he's such an emotional cripple he never take responsibility for anything......any more being said about that land scheme he was involved in?).
Caro is smart, doing what she has too, smiling, getting along but the boat is sinking, until a coup, she needs to keep her and the kids feet dry. they have their own money why should they help the non dynamic duo from going bankrupt or out of the world court for corruption?
i'd be an awful example, much like them I'd only do what i had to do, i'm not much for associating with strangers, i don't trust easily, i'm sure they've been burned by false friends more than once and do live in their own glamourous bubble (sigh wouldn't that be lovely)
the sheik as the main one in that pic, just sealed it for me, FaTal has NO idea and doesn't want to know how the money is rolling in, just as long as his lear jet is gassed, there's liquor and whores. as for trashlene, i'm quite sure she's made herself at home and surrounded herself with some minions, (she more than anyone should beware the flying monkey flunkies, they'll tear her down and destroy her just as they're trying to build her up now ;D (not that it's working) or maybe as i've always thought their kinky tastes fit perfectly and the tranny is blissful with his prince.....ignorance is bliss and we all now he's an 8th gradedrop out, so i'm pretty sure that applies.
perhaps trashy family is missing because they're all off having group plastic surgery, so there will be a hint of family ties to trashlene. she's looking more and more like a tranny alien.....hey that might make a great movie!

I knew it! I knew these type of articles will appear after this ball. Charlene is so ignorant that she really truly believes that people are as ignorant as she and her team of loonie flunkies. My first reaction upon seeing the photos was how desperate Charlene looked trying to fake a lovey dovey relationship - all for the purpose of the cameras. It is so OBVIOUS to anyone with more than three brain cells. Charlene girl, when you want to set up photos like this - you need a willing partner! Albert played along with you doing your first media stunt in 2006 at the Turin Olympics because he was desperate to distract the media's attention from his second hidden child. Albert is no longer desperate - just miserable! Look at this man - he is almost pushing Charlene away from him in these photos (especially pic #3) - yet Charlene still clings and poses for the cameras: Pic1 *** Pic2 *** Pic3

the funny thing is that fatal looks like everyone else where sth is happening, whereas trashy looks into the camera and tries to strike a pose for the camera. unlike all the other princesses who had to get used to the cameras, she still poses. She either freezes into her sulk or tries too hard and poses. She never ever moves natural when there is a camera nearby.

Interesting remark about Pete.. According to this he was drunk and his performance accordingly. guess people did not get what they paid for.
