I devour those mags in the nail parlor and at the Chinese take-out, though I realize I'm getting really old when I have to keep wondering "Who are most of these people?" They prove you can be young, gorgeous, thin, rich, and famous, and be even more miserable and fucked up than I am.

Following the Royals is almost as much fun as Downton Abbey. And if you think we Americans are harsh, you should read what some of the British press says! Did you know Elizabeth is supposed to have some cousins locked up in a comfy padded room in a remote asylum? Well, neither did I, and I probably still don't, but many English are convinced of this.

It's the last stand of a hereditary class system that's being reduced to tokenism by the Monarchs of Capitalism, and like an episode of Masterpiece Theatre, the actions women can take are limited by their upbringing and social expectations.

I expect it sucks to be a Princess, Disney fantasies aside.
