In have read 800, but considering how they decorated the orchids, I think they were a lot less. look at the pic without people. Also the way they placed the tables they are taking up a lot more space then usual. It's as if they are trying to fill a room without people. /photo/1/large
I read somewhere that the dress is supposed to be Dior, but it reminds me of the outfit the Brit team wore for the Olympics opening and that got so terribly dissed by the media and people for being tacky, reminding people of Elvis impersonators, that Stella Mc Cartney rushed to state that she did only design the competition/active gear and not the opening outfit. I think everything that was said about that outfit can be said about this one too. I guess she picked it with the discoball outfit she chose for the Vuiton opening, which was supposedly Dior too. I didn't like that one either. Dior does have some really great outfits, but apparently they have also a collection for tacky newly rich who would never chose their classy wear... btw one of their recent collections seems inspired by Grace. ;D

I can't help but think of the comment Princess Di said about dresses with open backs like Charlene's. She said she always made the designers put some fabric there, even if it was a thin mesh because she didn't like people putting their hands directly on her back. In Charlene's case, it's the only thing she's got to flaunt, well except Albert. Speaking of which he looks totally wasted in quite a few shots. Either he's got a sunburn or high blood pressure. Either way he doesn't look healthy, and his weight is ballooning again. His pants are way too long. I think he tried last minute to squeeze into his usually tux pants and they didn't fit so someone had to run out and buy the next larger size with no time to tailor them. JMO. well it clearly shows that she is once again not wearing a bra, so her plastic loopsided boobs are swinging free. I do agree with Di to put mesh there. It is more appropriate and as a public person you might have to dance with people you'd rather not want to feel you up. Also IMO it would keep the dress better in shape on your body, especially when you move. As to Albert IMO he is looking the worst he has looked to date. I have said when I first posted the links that he looks wasted. You may expect that later during the evening, but have a look at the close ups from the arrival. He must have been at it before they even started the evening. Obviously he is tired too from all the partying at the Olympics too and sitting poolside all day with trashy so she could get her Photo ops. Usually at the Olympics he used to watch many different sports. Now he only got to watch swimming. Wonder how long it will take him to realize and acknowledge that she is keeping him from everyone and everything he loves...

Hilarious & Spot On Analysis of Charlene's fashion choice at the Red Cross Ball: www.celebitchy.com/243977/princess_charlene_in_gold_sequins_in_monaco_lovely_or_unflattering/Princess Charlene in gold sequins in Monaco: lovely or unflattering? Princess Charlene has been so much perkier lately. “Perkier” being a relative term, I suppose . Considering two weeks ago she seemed awkward, depressed, druggy and unhappy during an interview with CBS News, Charlene has greatly improved. These are photos of Charlene and Albert back in Monaco, at Monaco’s annual Red Cross Ball, one of the biggest events of the year for the tiny principality. I still can’t find the designer ID on Charlene’s gold-sequined and white-skirted dress. My top guess is Akris. Just because Charlene wears a lot of Akris, and while this is giving me some Chanel vibes, I don’t think it is. Anyway, I really dislike the dress. Charlene’s proportions are difficult, I think, for most eveningwear. She has swimmer’s shoulders and slender hips. Designers should make sure that she doesn’t look so top heavy – which is exactly the problem here. There’s too much going on up top. Too much sparkle, too many sequins. But look… she’s actually touching Albert! Without needing to excuse herself to throw up! They’re showing affection to each other. Amazing.I tend to think Charlene is probably pretty happy right now. It probably helped that she was at the Olympics – she loves the Olympics. And I think it was kind of nice of Prince Albert to really “let” Charlene stay for a week to attend so many of the swimming events. Remember, Charlene was an Olympic swimmer. And she’s from South Africa, and South African swimmer (and HOTTIE) Chad Le Cleos had a really great Olympics, scoring a Gold Medal and a Silver Medal in head-to-head matches against Michael Phelps. Chad and Charlene are friends – and Charlene had invited the South African swim team to Monaco to prepare for the Olympics too. I think Albert gave his wife what she wanted and needed: some time to enjoy one of her greatest pleasures. The Olympics, spending time with her countrymen, hanging out with swimmers. It was Charlene’s Best Week Ever. Sigh… she has to wait another four years to have that much fun again. And much like Duchess Kate and Prince William, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Charlene and Albert were able to produce an Olympic baby.

I have to laugh when everyone pities her because Albert is such an ugly ass and she is so beautiful and deserves someone better. Oh please....

oh well, someone really bought her me me me show.... I just keep thinking of those comments by Ester a few years back. I keeping wondering if any of it was true. Eringer seemed to imply some of it really was. Also Charlene has had a major media fix with her attendance at the Olympics. Naturally with the swimming finished, she's not interested in returning with Albert. This of course also leaves him free to do as he wishes. I agree with whom ever it was that said she's starting to look like Michael Jackson. JMO.

Hi! I'm back after my weekend trip. So, Trampolina wore a lifeless dress that I swear I saw hanging on a rack in the King of Prussia Mall! Really ... I wonder how much a designer over-charged her for that lifeless sack of ...
And, once again, no earrings! BTW, I also saw the video of them dancing. It's almost as painful as hearing Fat Al speak in public. When he was twirling her around I swear that I though it was a Tranny! Her back is just HUGE!
And, there was no one of any importance in attendance.
The Sugahs are just as wacky as ever ... "... they look happpier than I've ever seen them ..." "... they look so content and happy ..."
Dear Lawd ... they are all insane!

hibou I already posted Alberts pics in the Olympic thread. Yeah he is good enough to give her her photo op by the pool, but she doesn't have to make an effort to interest herself in what he is interested in. She only interested herself in any other sport whilst she didn't have the ring, but now it's only the pool or sth that involves travel to an English speaking country far away from MC. Albert thinks that they share an interest in sports, but he is wrong. He shares her interest in swimming. when was the last time you saw her on skies or a skiing event? When did she last attend a footfall match??? Did she go to the figure skating in Nice? Did she watch the divers since she wanted to spend her time poolside? IN MC matin they said she was watching the rower and the judoka at some point. funny though that there was not a single pic of her at any other event then swimming. No tennis, no nothing. Only were she knew people and knew she was known. by the journalists.....

She'll get a pay check no matter what. The only question will be the amount.

Yes but the question is when as well. Take a look at todays pics with the Dutch Royals and the way he enjoys himself now. If you compare the pics from today with those from the red cross, then you would think those are entirely different people. Friday wasted, barely there, pretending to be happy and then today alive and genuinely happy and enjoying himself.

Thinking back to when he was younger, he was always, reserved, quiet, polite. Then we find out he's not at all what he seems - stories of too many women, the kids and the yacht girl photos. etc. Sad really. You are right, he looks like he's genuinely enjoying himself. No faking. JMO.

Albert will be one lonely man without the Grimaldis and Casiraghis. It may send him back in the arms of Nicole, when he starts longing to feel connected. She's always been a fighter to make sure her son has access to his father. They are family. Being estranged by his siblings will just create the gap needed for him to fall back on his role of parent. I mean, Albert must feel so weird when people speculate about his impending fatherhood with CC, when he already is a father and it won't be anything new to him after all. I don't see CC having the same resilience or passion as Nicole has, to fight for Albert. Let's just not say anything and see what happens. My money is on Nicole's comeback. At this point, seeing that I've hung up my flying knickers, I wish him the woman who'll fight for him. I've grown too spoiled in my own situation, but Nicole, she's all fire. Go Nicole, save our boy from a life of emptiness!

I don´t think MyAdia will like this idea xD But at least Nicole can speak French! I think Nicole has more depth of feeling for Albert even if she is a hen who'd like to see her son become a prince. She's not mercenary, to my eyes anyways. What she has is conviction of her purpose, which CC doesn't have or even wants to embrace in her role. CC's the sleazy Kristin Stewart of wannabe princesses whereas Nicole is a wild card of zaniness and femininity. I'm prepared to indulge Nicole's character most out of all the love interests. She doesn't play dirty. If she took Albert away, he'd find some happiness of heart and would learn something entirely new. Anyways, it's my hunch. I've been wrong before. (Go Nicole!)

Albert has pretty much ignored being a father most of their lives. I think you overestimate fathers. A man does not develop feelings for a child by being told his DNA has made it. There might be some sense of responsibility which makes them provide financially, but in most cases, if there isn't an emotional bond to the mother, there is no bond to the child. Albert has considered both women as a nuisance to him when he was done with them. he did not want anything to do with them, so obviously not with the kids either. Eventually he provided for them, but basically Albert has done what the majority of men do when faced with an unwanted or unplanned child. It is not sth to be proud of, but in our society this kind ofbehaviour is still socially acceptable. As long as you do not become a socially outcast by not caring for your child as a man, this will remain. Also the fact that Albert never lived under the same roof with his kids proabably never made him emotionally a father. Both his children are practically strangers to him and will most likely stay so. He may establish a friendly relationship with them, if he does see them frequently, but it will never be comarable to the relationship he could develop to a child who share his life from day one. What Nicole has been doing was irrational. Same with Tamara. It is understandable from their pov, but none the less irrational. They are demanding sth that does not exist and with their behaviour they achieved the opposite of what they wanted. If they had looked less for public acknowledgement of their status as mothers, things might have worked out differently. Had they not cornered him, there might have been a more naturaldevelopment in the matter. Obviously Albetr would have had to financially support both moms from the beginning, which he apparently didn't with Tamara. But once he did that, there was no need to push it. Their problem was that neither ever moved on, which IMO is not to the benefit of their kids. IMO it would have been more likely that Albert would have taken an interest, if the mothers would have been more relaxed about him and accepted that there would not be any relationship or their children being heirs to the throne. They still recive their due share of their inheritance and the rest is not that desirable. neither mother had the best interest of their kid at heart. It would have been better for them to be kept private, not because they are being denied, but because it would have allowed them to grow up without public scrutiny or stigma. Their situation is difficult enough as it is. And their mothers added on to it. That does not mean that Albert is excused. Not at all. He is a lousy father at present. maybe a legal child would make him realize that and seek to get to know his other kids more, but I think karma is getting him back by having provided him with a wife who is worse then any he could have married before her and not giving him a legitimate child....and I think Albert believes in karma....

Ok. That's one way to look at it. However, I think many will agree that the best laid plans, the best case scenarios and the real-life fairy tales...often derail miserably. So there isn't a perfect formula, when you have to plow through with a dead weight where your heart used to be, but I believe that's when miracles will happen, when the universe remembers you and responds. Nothing is so ever set in stone. That aside, Albert has always had to be corralled apparently otherwise he would have made visible choices and so far, I can't think of one choice he's made wholly and without doubt. He clearly prefers awkward crazy situations. He has a taste for the burlesque, let's not kid ourselves. It's not that I overestimate fathers or men, but it's classic to see them mess up then fall back on what's theirs. Why else did God put the original sin before heaven? Because you have to falter before you truly understand anything. Albert has faltered IMO. The best is yet to come.
