Fascinating Fascinators

Of course there were some interesting hats and hair accessories when the Duchess of Cambridge was in Calgary. Lots of cowboy hats and mini cowboy hats on a hairband to create a fascinator cowboy hat. They were cute but I wouldnt be caught sporting one if my luck were to cross Kate Middleton! A few creative fans crafted a fascinator and boy were some beautiful and others.... Well kitchy to say the least. Here is a picture of my ultimate favorite one.

Thank you for a wonderful tour!




The Duke of Cambridge inspecting the guards




This is as close as I could get with the purple wristbands! And they past by wayyyy too quickly. But they sure look good in cowboy hats!

This is it! This is the last chance that I have to see Prince William and his Duchess of Cambridge! We are all crowded at the Rotary Center where there will be the inspection of the guards done by Will of course as well as the official farewell from Canada. I believe I have quite a great seat and really hope to shake the hand of the future King or the commoner turned Queen! The media is getting ready and the band is playing as I am trying to keep my cool (literally the sun isnt as hot as yesterday - 27 degrees! But 16 shinning is toasty as well!). I believe I have an ok view. Check it out yourself!

I forgot to update yesterday but you will have to forgive me, I was border lined sunstroked, a little burnt and majorly blistered feet!!!! BUT I got to see Will and Kate in person. I had to line up with my purple wristband at around 330 in the afternnon in order to see them at 730 or 8 I kind of lost track of the time. They arrived on a old school horse drawn carriage sitting uptop for everyone to see them. Waiting for the moment was definitely painful having 50 year old women pushing me and pulling my hair just cause I kind of snuck in front of them. Oh and thewy complained that I was rude!!!
But that was the worst of it (although my blisters were AWFUL!!!!). I will upload pictures once I get on my computer. William looked dashing in a green plaid shirt jeans cowboy boots and the official white cowboy hat he fit right into the Calgary Stampede and looked like your typical country Albertan boy! Kate was also wearing a similar outfit and looked beautiful just as usual but I have to admit that for once I think William stole the show! They looked a bit awkward on the carriage but then again I also felt funny wearing a cowboy hat yesterday. If you know me well you know that this is a very rare affair! But I needed a hat and go figure it was the only type to buy at a Stampede!!!!

The lineups to get ready to receive wristbands!

Chronicles of a desperate Kate fan continues

So here I am waiting in line since 6 am to get these so called access wristbands with my dear cousin whose pretty much just here to keep me company (thank you J!) There have been people camping out here for what looks like a better part of the evening and this is just the people we can see from this part of the building. We were quoted that there was 31,000 people here but clearly that lady was not good at the estimation part of math. But theres for sure a few thousand people which if they give 2 tickets per person like they've been announcing then we are probably already too late. But at least were here willing to give it a try! The morning has been nice with the sun shinning in my back - anything is better then rain! Fingers crossed that we each get a wristband.
To be continued in a few hours....
