DIANA'S LEGACY...and the rest

Love this weather and seen little TV as have been out. But watched show tonight about Diana's dresses. She was so much more than what she wore but it was a neat way to show how she became a strong confident woman despite being hampered by a family who didn't want her to grow and a man she married who didn't want her to shine.  She blossomed when she left them.  She even tried to do the goodwill ambassador bit before Jolie had even thought of it, using her celebrity as the 'most famous woman in the world'.    Of course they still had her boys, and over the years they have tried inelegantly to belittle her and her memory.    The Royal Family treated her appallingly.    I doubt they will call the baby Diana (especially if it's a boy!) but if it's a girl it would be wonderful.   Charles is a little man and since her death he has become even smaller.

Talking of small, Posh Spice has been named Woman of the Decade by a magazine. Why?   Her ability to delegate well? Her ability to find someone who will manage her well?  Her ability to surround herself with genuinely talented designers and singers (well Mel C anyway)?   She was once famously quoted as saying she wanted to be the most famous person in the world.    Her husband has talent/had talent, whereas her ability seems to be surrounding herself with people who have talent, who are able to publicise her every move, so I suppose that in itself is a talent, but to be named Woman of the Decade.  How low can we go....
