    2025–26 Canadian Men: News and Updates

    I watched the practices when the men were here in Winnipeg for the qualifying event and Grayson was so impressive. I didn't notice quads (not saying there weren't any) but his axel seemed quite consistent. He is a gorgeous skater live and really stood out to me.

    2025–26 Canadian Women: News and Updates

    I recall last year there being some talk of Maddie working with specialists aimed at improving her scores on her footwork sequences and perhaps even spins. Anyway, my impression was that she and her team were not opposed to seeking outside help.

    Keeping Track of Criminal Cases & SafeSport Suspensions in Skating

    I thought I heard he had retired. He was a technical specialist but I haven't seen his name associated with that for quite some time. "Three month suspension and education" really? He is not some new young coach just getting the lay of the land and what is inappropriate. I can't see who ever...

    Royalty Thread #16: the best of times, the worst of times

    Some royal watchers are quite concerned that Prince William is not a huge fan of some of the more traditional ceremonial clothing worn by royal men. He doesn't always wear the stockings/leggings (when they would be appropriate) and is apparently not a fan of the big plummy hat for the Order of...

    Next year, 2026, marks 100 years since the birth of Queen Elizabeth, and the royal trust is going to put on display at Buckingham Palace 200 or so clothing items worn by the Queen. Apparently, it is to include items from her childhood such as a bridesmaid dress she wore at her uncles wedding...

    As the Page Turns (the Book Thread)

    I will admit I stopped reading any Oprah recommendations years ago but I had read so much about her latest recommendation "Culpability" by Bruce Holsinger that I purchased it from audible. It is billed as a "riverting family drama about moral responsibility in the age of artificial...

    I am not familiar with that one but it is gorgeous.

    I just love the "Lover's Knot" tiara that Princess Catherine wore to the reception with the Macrons. I know it belonged to Queen Elizabeth but was a favourite of Princess Diana and now Catherine. It is apparently very heavy but such a beauty.

    I agree with all of you and I especially appreciate that she looks like a 10 year old, a confident happy girl, but not a teenager yet - even with her pretty painted nails. No need to grow up too fast.

    Natasha "Tash" Archer, who has been a close confidant to Princess Catherine for 15 years, and also her stylist, is leaving the royal employment to run her own business. i believe she is responsible for the blue polka dot, yellow, and red Jenny Pacham dresses she wore following the birth of her...

    It must be a challenge to get the temperature right when you have men attired in suits with jackets and ties and then women with light evening dresses and often bare arms. I guess I am assuming those old castles and wonderful historic buildings are a special test in having everyone somewhat...

    The evening dresses worn by both Catherine and Mrs. Macron have short sleeves but then the sort of cape from the shoulder that drapes over the arms and can be pulled forward to cover them or pushed back to expose the lower arm and hand (I think). I know this is not entirely new and others have...

    Princess Catherine's hair looks wonderful as she stands with Prince William holding a new born Prince George outside the hospital. One thing I was so impressed about was the little blue dress she chose to wear did not hide the fact that her belly was still prominent. It is unfair and not...

    Kate is blessed with glorious hair and those curls bouncing down her back really set off the lovely pink jacket and hat.
