Investiture in NL: Gala Dinner at Rijksmuseum for Queen Beatrix and the Prince of Orange: Uptight, Little Mary Boganson Shows Her Insecurity Card - Again.

Madam's Indian name is Stick-Up-Arse 
 
Get out yer sunnies! The blingy brightness volume has been turned to eleven! Tonight in Amsterdam's newly renovated Rijksmuseum, a gala dinner was held in honour of the abdication of Queen Beatrix in favour of her son, Prince Willem-Alexander. Tomorrow, there will be a formal stepping down of the queen back to her moniker of Princess Beatrix, and the investiture of her son to King of the Netherlands, their first male monarch since 1890.
 
But the fun part starts tonight with the dinner to which all foreign royal heirs and high-ranking guests were invited. Dress code was black tie with tiaras, an unusual mix, but thoroughly Dutch, the country that brings you hats and long dresses and decorations for Prinsjesdag (Opening of Parliament). Oh brother, does future Queen Maxima bring it, or what? Nice tone set by wearing a dress already seen (at Charles' 60th birthday) with a dazzling set of gobstopper diamonds, including a tiara Maxima's worn many times before and mirror-image necklace, but with her hair down in a Veronica Lake style, the whole effect is less successful than jools that glittery should be. This combo worked better on her in Sweden for Victoria's wedding, but she makes up for it in spunk and spirit!
 
Gosh, there were a plethora of gorgeous ladies, mostly Mathilde and Letizia who just looked fantastic, and their husbands were rightly very proud to be on their arms. It's noticeable that the highly Catholic and très BCBG Mathilde and Philippe are very touchy feely with each other. The Spanish couple is more professional in their official appearance, but the smoldering looks they give each other tell a different story. Haakon and Mette-Marit are always affectionate, holding hands and seeming in sync. But then there's Derf and Yrma. And Yrma is making a strange statement.
 
Giving off a vibe akin to a figure skater's ode to the mother-of-the-bride, Madam's dress was a nod to the presque-zizi! In the colour of its foreskin, with a neckline in flesh-coloured mesh to imitate the prepuce (and partially disguise the chestal area sun damage), the embroidered circles recollect the staphylococcus of a venereal disease that affects the shaft - acquired by either a used car salesman or in the back of a ute, or both - Madam, much like the fabric of the dress, was as stiff as can be, with her head exploding out of her own presque-zizi, acting as her own jiz in a golden shower turned chestnut for her new hair rinse. In fact, Madam was so erect in character in her penis dress that she seems to STRAIN to talk to the Spanish crown princely couple. It's as if she is far too aroused by all the diamonds, the international paparazzi and the thoughts of her photograph making its way all around the world to Australia, to manage to talk to a man she believes is in love with her and his gorgeous, intelligent wife. Even the men in the painting are looking down on Mary as if to say, "Bitch, please. Lene told Oprah you weren't available because she knows what an embarrassment you are!" 
 
Another difficult moment must have come for MoreMore when she was seated next to the Prince of Wales, a man Mary's "bestie" Amber Petty believes should never be King of Australia. Perhaps they could talk about how Mary abandoned Charles and Camilla when they had official duties in Copenhagen last year, once dumping them on her Slurppppppppppson parents and Step-Dumpling. Or they could talk about how Mary really believes she deserves to be godparent to Charles' soon to be born grandchild. Or they could talk about how Charles invited Mary and Fred specifically to his wedding - an invitation that not all royal heirs received - and despite having nothing on her calendar, declined to attend. Such fun. And it will be capped off tomorrow with Mary having to curtesy to Maxima and Willem-Alexander. Wha hae! Just what she's been dreading!

FAIL: Yrma in NYC: Presents Remodeled Finn Juhl Chamber to Bored UN Audience, Makes Sure She's Noticed By the Assembly and Mr. Bach

Shiny! Name the "beauty" procedure!
 
 
So, four and a half days in New Yawk and Madam's time in the shops and at the myriad day spas and local society surgeons have yielded strange results. MoreMore certainly has that shiny post-facial sheen that should have been subdued with blotting paper or powder. But her appearance in a very autumnal outfit at the United Nations' rededication of the original Finn Juhl-designed Trusteeship Council Chamber next to Minister of Development and African travel partner Christian Friis Bach certainly leaves something to be desired. This is the room that was under construction when Daisy came through on her NYC visit a couple of years ago.
 
Madam was also accompanied by her private secretary Tanja, and interestingly, Derf's private secretary Christian Schønau. Derf is currently at an IOC event in Peru moderating a panel discussion at a breakout session at the exact same time Madam is inaugurating new interior design. No High Level Task Force here just an interior design unveiling, and yet Derf's secretary is with her. Ah, she must have needed him to help her with her intricate knowledge of the internationally-recognised master of classic Danish design Finn Juhl. Every design student in the world knows this man and the contributions that he gave to Denmark's reputation as a design centre. Ah, but no, MoreMore spent more time on pore-cleaning and waiting in Upper East Side doctors' reception rooms than practicing for her big debut. Her interview in the video below shows her lack of real connection to anything this Fin Yool funny named person ever did besides the boilerplate remarks she was given. Pathetic answers to the interviewers questions, and pathetic Danish language skills. And super ugly mouth when speaking.
 
Remind me why two secretaries, nearly five days in town, and the Minister of Development were needed for a five minute speech in which she acted as a mannequin spokesmodel were important?

Danish Design Recreated and Renewed at the UN Building in New York


Classic and modern Danish interior designs have been merged in the completed renovation of the Trusteeship Council Chamber in the United Nations building, giving the interior design in this iconic hall a fresh and original edge.
 
In 1950, the Danish furniture architect Finn Juhl was given a special and career-changing assignment. As part of a gift from Denmark to the United Nations, he was commissioned to design the Trusteeship Council Chamber in the new UN building, which at the time was under construction in New York. When the chamber was inaugurated in 1952, it was clear that Finn Juhl had completed one of his most innovative projects ranking among the most iconic contributions to the Danish cultural heritage of interior design abroad.

 
Every little detail and curve in the chamber had been analysed and designed by Finn Juhl – from the curved ceiling that makes the hall appear larger, to the wall sconces and unique FJ51 delegates’ chairs made of walnut. The curtains in the chamber were designed and tailor-made by Paula Trock and Spindergaarden in the Danish town of Askov and the sculpture on the wall of a woman releasing a bird was created by the Danish sculptor Henrik Starcke.

 
After many years of wear and tear, UN commissioned in 2007 to do a complete renovation of the entire complex and the Trusteeship Council Chamber. Along with Realdania, the Danish Ministries of Culture and Foreign Affairs accepted a request to co-fund and collaborate with the UN on the renovation of this Danish gift. Aside from recreating Finn Juhl’s interior by renovating the sunken floor in front of the podium, maintaining the horseshoe formation of delegates’ chairs and tables and reintroducing the FJ51 delegates’ chairs in a modified version, the Danish Arts Foundation also invited Danish interior designers to enter a competition for the design of additional furniture for the chamber.

 
In 2011, Kasper Salto and Thomas Sigsgaard were appointed winners with their creation of new delegates’ chairs designed from two parts in 3D veneer and curved tables for the delegates and the Secretariat. These new additions to Finn Juhl’s original plan, will introduce a touch of modern interior design to a classic and timeless setting of Danish cultural heritage. The refabricated curtains in the renovation project are provided by the successor of Paula Trock, Hanne Vedel, who secured the rights to the original design and fabric of the curtains in 1970.

 
The recreated and renewed Trusteeship Council Chamber will be re-inaugurated today at the United Nations complex in New York. Among those in attendance, who will mark this new beginning of Danish interior design showcased at the UN are H. E. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, HRH the Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, the Danish Minister for Development Cooperation Christian Friis Bach as well as the designers Kasper Salto and Thomas Sigsgaard.
