Just Because...A Royal Wedding Portrait

What A Feeling!
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle

Just Because I love black and white photography, Just Because the magic still lingers & Just Because they make such a great pair - here is the official portrait of Prince Harry & Meghan Markle brought to you by the words Royal & Wedding.

You know I really don't have much to say about posting this, since I am probably one of the last individuals covering and commenting on pop culture to do so. 

This beautiful image speaks for itself. You don't need me to tell you my impressions of it, because I am betting mine are simpatico with yours.

Plain and simple this image evokes positive energy. That's something everyone needs right here, right now. So let's go with it - what a feeling!

Just Because...George & Amal Clooney

One Word: Wow!
Amal & George Clooney
Just Because it's the day after the Royal Wedding, Just Because it's Sunday Funday & Just Because they looked so amazing here are, IMHO the best dressed couple who attended the wedding of the century George & Amal Clooney.

"Wow" was the word that came to mind when Amal showed up in this stunning yellow number that complimented her to perfection. It was a bold choice of color and hot damn, she worked it!

She also had a great accessory by her side, her husband George, ya know that Clooney guy. Who wisely ditched traditional black formal wear and went with a tailored gray number that completed his wife's out of the box color choice to perfection.

What's that you say?! "Yes" I did see the actual wedding, it was lovely. Honestly, we all need someone to look at us the way Harry looks at Meghan, the love those two have for  one another is obvious. It was the perfect anecdote to all the hate going on in the world around us to be reminded that love can, and will conquer all.

On that note, Michael has left the building...

Fairy Tales Do Come True!

Have To Believe We Are Magic
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle
With all the heinous things happening in the world around us, it's nice to witness a real life Fairy Tale - Once upon a time....

Thus let's pop open a bottle of our finest bubbly and toast to the union or Prince Harry & Meghan Markle on this May 19th 2018!

For those of you who think this event is frivolous, you may want to re-think that position. For better of for worse this Royal Wedding matters on so many levels, politically and psychologically.

How so? Let me break it down for you.

On the political front you have two philanthropists getting hitched who, in lieu of wedding gifts gave a list of charities they would like their guests give donations to. Meghan Markle is biracial, while I am at loathe to make this a point since it is 2018 - sadly it is still significant. It's the uniting of two different countries, think about it, but not too hard.

Psychologically with what seems like weekly mass shootings happening and the general state of the planet,this reminds us the magic of love really does exist. We need the escapism and pageantry right here, right now. There hasn't been a Cinderella story like this since Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier of Monaco.

"Yes" people today we are reminded that their is hope in the world and that Fairy Tales have the power to still come true when we choose love over hate. 

Congratulations to the happy couple.Let love rule!!!

The Home Stretch

Fairy Tale
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle
Last week was a reminder to "save the date" as it was two weeks away. Well this week we are hitting the home stretch. That's correct peeps, the Royal Wedding is now officially one week away, seven days and counting, the home stretch.

The thing is, this event couldn't come at a better time in the history of the world. What the world needs now is love, sweet love. Yeah, I cribbed that phrase from a song, but no truer words could be spoken presently.

Harry & Meghan are the fairy tale people need right here, right now. This is going to be one off the hook wedding and promises to deliver that happily ever after ending we all deserve. 

I'm sucker for magical moments and this will not disappoint. 

RSVP for Saturday May 19th Windsor Castle - I already have!

Save The Date



The countdown that had begun months ago now draws even closer. "Yes" two weeks from today the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and one Meghan Markle is happening.

With countless viewing parties at various entities in every state & city, as well as stay at home get together's in place this is going to be one of the biggest events of 2018.

Am I going to watch? Unless I have a commitment that prevents me from doing so, computer says "Yes."

These two can't stop the feeling of the power of love when you see them together. Which in this day and age is something rare and beautiful to witness.

Yeah, sometimes I can crossover into the sappy zone.

Forget your troubles come on get sappy...

Mic Drop!

Just Because...Giving

We Crave a Different Kind of Buzz...
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle
I stumbled upon this gem today about Prince Harry & Meghan Markle asking those who wish them well to go to...Ha! Kidding. They have actually asked them to make Charitable Donations in lieu of Wedding Gifts.

Personally I love these two, there I said it. Not since Princess Diana has anything "Royal" really grabbed my attention. 

Their obvious happiness is infectious. But what I adore most about them is how philanthropic they are. They hand picked seven charities they would like people to give to in honor of their special day, they are as follows:

CHIVA (Children's HIV Association), Crisis, the Myna Mahila Foundation, Scotty's Little Soldiers, StreetGames, Surfers Against Sewage and The Wilderness Foundation UK.

Giving is something that is important whether it be money, food or time. 

I feel one should give back any way you can. Do I give? For the record "yes" I practice what I preach.

Silver Bells?

Not!

Mark your calendars the date has been set for Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's wedding, May 19, 2018, "yes" the nuptials will be televised.

The betrothed will tie the knot at St. George's Chapel @ Windsor Castle, say that three times fast. Funny a few scant weeks ago I snapped a shot in the supermarket of the tabloid headline above and sent it to my Royal Fan Girl Shani Bayne

She doesn't believe the headline and frankly neither do I. These two don't seem like the irresponsible type. For sure they will have children, but they are getting married for one reason and one reason only - love. Baby being on board has nada to do with it. Trust me, I'm not a tabloid.

Now to the important part are the wedding bells that will ring at St. George's Chapel silver? One can dream...!
