Betty invited some neglected pals over for a bit of tea and some finger sandwiches yesterday… just an intimate group of THE SOVEREIGN MONARCHS OF THE WORLD!*
Let’s get a better look at a few of them, shall we? And we’ll see what old queens are wearing these days. Some of you need to know.
The queen on the left is Anne Marie of Greece, having a little tete a turban with the luxuriantly flawless Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser Al-Missned (pronounced “Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser Al-Missned”). Bint asked Marie if she got her necklace at Target.
Princess Lalla Meryem of Morocco rolled out of bed at the Buckingham Holiday Inn and just came in her bathrobe. Princesses can get away with that shit, as this queen well knows.
The wax figures of Prince Harry, Duchess Catherine and Duke Willie were trucked in from Madame Tussauds for the event. Don’t they look real?!
A confused Princess Alexandra (whose royal lineage is a mile long) tells Emperor Akihito of Japan and Empress Michiko about her fortune cookie from last night’s takeout.
Arabs.

Can you guess who this hatted and gloved goddess is? No?
Surprise! It’s Betty Deuce, as seen on a visit to Chester Zoo today in, where else, Chester!
Her Majesty is wearing the Frosted Sunflower Brooch, which she does when she wears pastels.
An ancient orangutan reached for the flower on Betty’s hat… oh, never mind, it was just Phil and his eyebrows.

Get ready to crack open ya books, or crack sumpin’, because here comes a whole lotta fun — with the new professors of RuPaul’s Drag U” set for summer school, hunty!
This year’s Superstar (for-evah!) Sharon Needles will be on the faculty, scaring up new looks for schlubs who want a change! Prof. Needles will be joined by Mama Chad Michaels, who will undoubtedly give lessons in poise and general ladylike behavior and decorum.
Sharon has your shot!
Rounding out the edumacatrixes will be bad gurl “slut” Willam, who will no doubt lose her tenure before summer school is OUT!
Other drag hags joining include giantess Raven (“It’s only tinted moisturizer”), the deliciously witty Pandora Boxx, Boston’s own Jujubee, the luscious (sarap!) Manila Luzon… (below).
Big gurls Delta Work and “MF’n” Latrice Royale also have some learnin’ for ya, plus Shannel, Mariah, Alexis Mateo, marvelous Morgan McMichaels and last year’s glamah queen, Raja!
VP of Drag Lady Bunny and her giant hair will also return, along with guest judges Donna Mills, Brittany Snow, Holly Robinson-Peete, Joely Fisher and others.
Monday, June 18th is the big premiere on Logo!

in gorgeousness, hooray, reality tv, stuff I like, ya gotta love it
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, did the weather forecast in Scotland late last week, and I’ve just gotten the video. Well, I’ve had it, but I’ve been watching it at home, quietly, at night.
Wearing a maternity trenchcoat with varicose vein blue piping, Cam did a rather unspritely jaunt through the forecast, but I had trouble listening to anything she was saying, being so distracted by her gorgeousness!
She’s a game ol’ bird!

Camilla, Duchess of Rothesay (as she’s known in Scotland), visited the Rosslyn Chapel on Tuesday, where she praised the restoration work.
Her Exquisiteness is holding a stonemason’s hammer, which had just been used to touch up her hair.
Cam chose one of her new outfits for the Scotland visit, showing a bit of plaid on a large collar that frames her face beautifully… like a painting you’d find at the Salvation Army.

And below, “Drag Race” bad girl Willam Belli, without and with makeup.
One is still pretty without the paint.

Audrey Hepburn was born on this day in 1929, making her today’s Friday Face.
Born in Ixelles, Brussels, Hepburn spent her childhood between Belgium, England and the Netherlands, including German-occupied Arnhem during WWII.
She studied ballet after the war, and moved to London in 1948, where she was a chorus girl in various West End productions.
She appeared in a few British films and starred in the play “Gigi.” She burst onto the film scene as a wayward princess opposite Gregory Peck in “Roman Holiday.”
She went on to star as “Sabrina” with Humphrey Bogart, as a disenchanted sister in “The Nun’s Story” and as the bubbly Holly Golightly in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” She played opposite Cary Grant in “Charade,” in the behemoth “My Fair Lady,” and the edgy “Wait Until Dark.”
She numbers among the 11 people who have won an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and a Tony.
Audrey dedicated much of her later life to UNICEF, working in Africa, South America and Asia in the 1980s and ’90s.
In 1992, she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work as Goodwill Ambassador.
Audrey died of appendiceal cancer at her home in Switzerland in 1993. She was just 63.
For her grace, beauty, talent and generosity, Audrey Hepburn is today’s Friday Face.
