A Right Royal Celebration

Darlings,

I'm here, I'm here .... how fabulous it all is, i've been up half the night getting my hair done, but it is all worth it.

Miss Mannequin (and all at proportion london) wish Prince William and the newly named Duchess of Cambridge a marvellous day.

Enjoy the celebrations wherever you are ... i know i shall!

Royal wedding fever

Hello my dear readers!

Since the Palace have now issued the official seating plan, there is something I feel I simply must share with you …. As I am sure you’re aware, my fabulous friend William is getting married on Friday. The wedding is THE event of the decade (to which of course I am invited, I mean I haven’t actually received my invitation yet… one can only assume that there’s a delay in the post)?!

William and I go way back, having first met through proportion>london’s sister company GEMS STUDIO in 2008. The Gems team created a marvellous bespoke sculpt of the prince for Canada’s premier wax museum: The Royal London Wax Museum, for show alongside a sculpt of his mother princess Diana. We struck up a huge friendship whilst working on this project, the story of which is on the Gems Studio website: Prince William sculpt story and it surely can’t be long before Kate and I are also good buddies!

The anticipation of scouring the seating plan to find out who I shall be seated beside is just too exciting. Elton John, Guy Ritchie (if only you’d hung in there longer Madge!) Mario Testino, Rowan Atkinson or maybe even the Beckham’s; the possibilities are endless and oh so tantalising! Guess I’ll just have to wait and see… the official guest list 

 

Anyway more to the point… what should one wear to such a distinguished affair?? With this dilemma firmly on my mind, I popped off on a whirlwind spree to Regent St yesterday with my Mark, my darling driver. Regent St really does set a regal scene lined with union flags and there is a distinct feeling of romance in the air. Like a moth drawn to a flame Miss Mannequin was pulled towards all things shiny in my search for the perfect diamond accessories (after all it is a Royal wedding so I simply must wear diamonds). In the final mix, I will be wearing … Tiara (check); long gloves (check); slinky dress (check); vintage fur stole (check). Which leads me to the other great debate of the day … who shall I take as my guest? My new man METROpolitan is my dreamy choice to accompany me to the Abbey. Perhaps he will turn out to be my very own Prince Charming …..

recovering, redecorating, relaunching!!!

It's all go over at the showroom this week! A hive of busy bees ..... painting, glueing, lighting and generally remaking over my apartment ready for the relaunch on Tuesday.
I'm having my fair share of make-over too dear readers. Along with all my fibre-glass chums, I've had a spray over (well I was away in Germany a while and one does get so dusty travelling!). My new skin tone is glowing and dewy, I'm eyeing up the wig box next to me (which i know will contain a treat from those fabulous wigmakers the Darvills) and I'm waiting for my make up artist Georgie to pop in this weekend to touch up my new lashes!

Apparently, we will all be on show from Tuesday. Three open-days (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 10am-5pm each day) of meeting and greeting the clients with something sparkly in my hand! I love it. Do pop in and catch up with me ... there is so much to see, I don't know where to start myself.

Oh well .... back to work with the duster - lots to do before you all get here for breakfast on Tuesday
Do hope you can make it ... I'll look out for you!
