Fact o’ the day: The Queen took eight tonnes of luggage on her first official trip. Honey, you is our kinda girl.
Tis a true story, and this weekend our Queen, as in Queenie Liz the second, as in not Dame Helen Mirren flings open the doors to Buckingham Palace and hollers ‘We’re open for business, boys’. Yes, it’s the beginning of the Summer Opening and, this year visitors and stalkers alike get to have a peek in Her Maj’s drawers (hello) to mark the 60th anniversary of the Royal Tour.
To mark the occasion QEII will be showing off (read ‘digging out’) some of the fabulous outfits she’s worn, trinkets she’s picked up and gifts (read ‘any old shit’) she’s been given in her 60 years of globe trotting. We’re hoping there will be a bit of mouldy Blackpool rock in there and perhaps a novelty fridge magnet or a tat snow globe or an ‘I heart *insert country of choice*’ t-shirt, or the best holiday memento of all; a tea towel. Whatever she’s rooted out, we’re sure tis wonderful.
Be sure to get your HRHeiney holes down to London’s glittering Buckingham Palace from 26th July – 30th September.
Good morrow.

- We’re actually still trying to work out who Kim Kardashian is. In the meantime, let’s look at this magazine cover.
- Horrible door.
- Which English actor who we already have a major crush on has a bottom like this?
- Cheryl and Ashley are finally divorced. The world stops moving, like in that show FlashForward that was on Channel Five, ergo, nobody watched it.
- And the Marc Jacobs award for Never Knowingly Appearing in a Photograph With a Shirt On Goes To… (rustle, rustle of envelope being opened) Jake Shears!
I heart a bit of Queen
My favourite woman in the whole wide world. Except maybe Dame Joanna Lumley.
I love her more than my own fucking mother.
