Sarah Burton Royal Designer of Kate Middleton Gown

Posted by Nina Robinson at Friday, April 29, 2011 0 comments
The most kept secret of who the actually designer would be for Kate Middleton gown.
 Well, the designer name is Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. Ms Burton said creating the royal wedding dress had been the "experience of a lifetime".

The gown had a lace appliqué bodice and skirt, and veil. The bride wore her hair down, with a tiara.
The lace on the bride's dress details a rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock, and was hand-made by the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace.

The bridal train measures 2m 70cm, and along with the lace, all other fabrics used in the creation of the dress were sourced from and supplied by British companies.
The lace motifs were pinned, "framed up" and applied with stab stitching every 2mm to 3mm around each lace motif.

Workers washed their hands every 30 minutes to keep the lace and threads pristine, and the needles were renewed every three hours, to keep them sharp and clean.

The veil was held in place by a Cartier "halo" tiara, lent to Miss Middleton by the Queen.

Royal Wedding Disembark

Royal Wedding Home

We will watch the most talked about royal event of all time since the death of Princess Diana. I know this is breath of fresh air for residents of London, England to have something exciting to share with the world.
Kate Middelton  the fiance' of Prince William of Wales marriage will take place on April 29, 2011 at the Westminger Abbey. Her gown will be designed by Sophie Cranston and the Prince will wear a military uniform.
I wonder if Kate's train will be longer than Star Jones train on her wedding gown.. Hmmmmm Just a thought !

The volunteers from the National Association of Flower Arrangement Society has donated their time in creating the beautiful flowers for the Royal Wedding.
Music for the wedding service was hand selected by the bride and groom. British theme music, which I'm hoping they have secretly hired the "Blackeyed Peas".. Yes, now this would be a youthful real wedding for all their friends and family their age can get up and have a Party !!!
The best part of a wedding, the food ! Will it be pheasants, duck, lamb, lobster and mini pastries for the royal guest?

Will many watch the Royal Wedding because they are interested and intrigued by the royalty and press coverage of the entire wedding? Can we even get in to see the actual wedding? I believe there will be a million viewers watching the entire process right up to the closed door and hope that they can get a sneak peek of the gown, flowers, rings,star studded guest and not have to wait for the pictures to hit the newstand a week later.

Happy Royal Wedding Watching ! Seek times to watch , click the link.

Origin of Valentine's Day

Posted by Nina Robinson at Sunday, January 30, 2011 0 comments
Valentine's Day is coming soon. Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14, every year. I researched the origin of Valentine's Day and why we celebrate it today.
 The day was originally named Saint Valentine's Day, to celebrate love and companionship through gift giving, flowers,greeting cards, chocolate, dinner for two and special time alone with their significant other.  The actual day chosen to celebrate really doesn't  have a significance to the story and no one knows why the day was chosen to be celebrated every year. Some believe that the day is celebrated in the middle of February as a reminder of Valentine's death. The special commerative day was named after a Christian man named Valentine, who was executed because he wouldn't convert from Christianity to Catholicism. He was jailed and right before his execution, he had written his first love letter and it was signed, "From your Valentine."

What does Valentine's Day mean to you and your significant other ?

Disneyland Self-Esteem Booster

Posted by Nina Robinson at Saturday, January 08, 2011 0 comments
  No, everyone can not afford to take their children to Disneyland and receive special services Disney offers. We as a community need to pull together to start an outreach or join outreaches throughout the world. Such as, Girls Rule! , Black Girls Rock, Big Brother and Big Sister, or the Salvation Army where there are many children who come to the Organization everyday for social service needs. We have children who need self-esteem reassurance and purpose embedded deep inside of them. It just takes someone special to take the lead and create a Disneyland in their community.
 Disney has a fan page that many can share stories about their self-esteem boost experience at Disneyland. I enjoyed reading this story because many young girls today are feeling like they're not beautiful, which creates low self esteem and lack hope. I would like to give Disney kudos for celebrating our young girls and giving them a sense of hope with their makeover boutiques at Disneyland. Disneyland makes girls dream of being or becoming Princesses for the rest of their lives. That's why it's not uncommon for many to wed at Disneyland because of their dreams of becoming a true princess for a day.
