the MOST important question we will address all day!

The date is growing near. I am sure all of you have just been wondering why for the most part the k+b has been so darn silent on the upcoming Royal Wedding. No real reason at all, and Neil and I will be glued to the set there for days, there will be LOTS of live blogging!
This was Wills and Kate's LAST public appearance before the big day, seen here in Blackburn, England.. to do the things that the Royals do. Now, there has been all kinds of comparing the upcoming wedding to THE Royal wedding back in 1980, it's not exactly the same. Williams father, Prince Charles' wedding was a STATE occasion, because he is the Prince of Wales, the next in line for the throne. William is just , still, as of right now, your run of the mill Prince.

So, what to compare it too....Unlike so many gay bloggers who are all " I don't have the wedding OR royal gene " I have them both, in SPADES, THIS is the shit I am really really good at. So, racking my brain to get back to a time when the third in line was married, which would be comparable. You think Andrew and Fergie.. but Charles and Diana had already had a baby. HM the Queen was already next in line when she got married, so no next, next there....
SO! One generation back and we get the Queens on parents back in 1921, and that would be the same. The gallivanting Prince of Wales ( soon to be the short lived Edward VIII ) had not downloaded any legit kiddies, so Bertie and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-lyon were next next in line.  <----- some great photos of past royal weddings.

BUT!
None of that is the question : 
IS KATE's SKIRT TOO SHORT  ???
Now, as a royal watcher your first response is YES, just two inches, maybe one and a half inches longer would be more appropriate for the next Queen of England ( AS OF right now, Camilla will NOT become the full out Queen... but most folks think that will change )
BUT, on second thought and looking longer at the suit,  our first response was just wrong. She is a young beautiful accomplished woman and there is nothing at all wrong with this. She does NOT have to buy into the overall dowdiness of the Windsor women. Ya'll have to think back and remember that at this point in the Diana fashion story, she was a MESS...The frog closures really give a basic blue suit a fashion forward slant, love the high heel as well...Let's do hope the upcoming question is not : is she too thin?

Much much more to come about the coming wedding....

Is there really such a thing as too thin--well OK there is, but she ain't there. This is a modern woman--not an innocent virgin marrying a kinda hot balding rich guy with whom she's been living for some time.

Hell no, the skirt is not too short. I agree with TLo that she might have a modern business like attitude toward her future position. Her outfit screams "I'm young, thin, and hot, but I have some business to do." She works it.
