Royal Wedding Kitsch

The Royal Wedding is still very much taking place over here. And tomorrow I (M) am going to tour Buckingham Palace, while the Queen is still on holiday in Scotland and K is out saving lives. As part of this tour, I will even get to see the Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding dress on display. I considered wearing nude pantyhose in her honour, but I just can’t do it. Anyway, all this—combined with my love for souvenir kitsch and our need to buy mugs for the flat—has led me on the search for the perfect Royal Wedding souvenir mug. There are too many from which to choose! Some with royal colours, some where William has more hair, some with varying shapes or additional coasters (see fig. 2.1 & 2.2). Cast your vote in the comment section, voting ends EOD PST on 04/10 and then we’ll buy the winning mug; I know K is just dying to have one! I really want one with their photograph, just sayin’.

      I feel like it should really be a wedding photo, and that one has “the kiss”.

    2 is what the royal family would want you to have, maddy. I’m sure of it.

    Tough call, the simple & striped! #9 is nice, but for max kitsch……
    The kiss can’t be beat
    2.2 over 4 because of the really nice decorative pattern around the rim

    So mad I missed the cutoff to vote. I thought the deadline was April 10th. I must learn proper date formatting.
