CORONATION WEEKEND
What is real and what is fake is something I love to question. The rain last weekend for the Coronation was real but with the joy and happiness the British shared we could only be merry. There was so much to see and talk about. Weddings along the King's Road continued and I was lucky enough to be included in the wedding of Opera Singer Melinda Hughes who pulled out all the stops and found Chitty Chitty Bang Bang the wonderful car from the film that her Father Ken Hughes had directed. I loved her dress make-up and hair. There were a few minutes of sunshine between King Charles's Spaniels parading down the King's Road and the Oathes taken by King Charles to uphold our constitution and then we all sang Zadok the Priest by Handel with gusto. Street Parties were the most amusing I dashed in and dashed out. The Royal women wore white wreaths of flowers around their heads and Princess Charlotte shone out from the crowd. It was a Coronation of "Do gooders" everybody trying to do the right thing.

OSCARS AND MORE IN HOLLYWOOD
I have been smiling since this morning because of the 'kindness of strangers'. One lovely person sent me a photograph from Ancestry.co.uk of my Grandmother who I had never met, Valda Foreman. She was persona non grata and had three children under 23. She ran away from home and never saw her children again. In the 1930's this was shocking and clearly, she had post-natal depression. In her photograph, she looked like a radiant bride with a Gatsby look. Very fashionable.

STOP THE DEVIL WORSHIP
What is it about Devil Worship? Must fashion and the film World be interested in the underworld? It is why I am becoming increasingly political as I get older. I am not fascinated by the nefarious.
