Now first of all you are all (the ones who don't know about this obviously) think that you show up for the ceremony, pose with it and then go home waiting for it to arrive at your door. Much like the Academy Awards, Grammys etc. This is not the case, this one is for keeps! You get it, box and everything.
Kylie took a day out of touring and showed up at Buckingham Palace with her sister Dannii, mother Carol, dad Ron and her manager Terry Blamey. She wore a white (there is much debate about it being white or cream) satin dress with sparkly stars in different colours by Yves St. Laurent and gold high heeled sandals.

Sorry to interrupt here, but how do you get into Buckingham Palace when having an appointment, do you just go and knock on the door. Ask a guard to tell HRH the Queen that you have an appointment??
End of rant

To celebrate this special occasion I've decided to show you her day, as it would have been, in this little post. So here goes....
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF KYLIE MINOGUE
Ok. I skipped ahead of the brunch and meltdown over which couture dress to wear
Majordomos: Hello there, how do you do Miss Minogue
Kylie: Hello, I'm so pleased to meet you.
Carol: He's not HRH Prince Charles
Kylie: I know he isn't. I've met Charles more than 3 times already.
Ron: Look at how lovely the red carpet is.
Carol: Don't say a word!
Kylie: Oy! Hush you. It's my day.
Prince Charles: Here you go Miss Minogue. I've been begging ma'am to put you on the list for years.
Kylie: Thank you, I'm so chuffed and nervous.
Prince Charles: Don't be nervous dear, I'll tell you a secret. I get turned on by Camillas horsey features. You know how I like animals.
Kylie: Um....!?!
Kylie: Let's zoom in, everything is much better in closeup anyway and it'll end the awkward conversation.
Prince Charles: Good idea. Although my bald spot is more visible now. Let me just get this...
Kylie: Thank you so much. I'm so chuffed.
Kylie: Look at my OBE. HAH! all you naysayers didn't think I'd amount to anything. Look how far I've come since big hair and earrings.
Kylie: Ok, last photo I can't hold this smile forever you know.
Kylie: Come on everyone! "Your disco, your disco, your disco needs YOU!...."
Kylie: See, I can still smile, oh and look at my OBE dears.
Kylie: Yeah, you know what? I got an OBE today! See!
Kylie: I got an OBE today! *giggles*
Kylie: Love to you all.
Kylie: Ok Britney watch and learn deary.
Kylie: See how easy and graceful it can be.
Kylie: I like that song, turn it up! Oh and Britters, see how even in the car it's still possible to keep your knickers (or lack of) out of sight.
Congratulations on the OBE Kylie!
I bet Dannii was happy for her sister. Not that we'd ever know, seeing as her face is frozen in place.
ReplyDeleteI bet she'd love an OBE. I s'pose she can just look at Kylie's…
Wow, it's like you were right there with her! She looks so happy and cute.
ReplyDeleteI am not exactly sold on the Yves St Laurant dress. The cut is lovely, but those stars?
ReplyDeleteHumph. Well, she pulled it off.
Sparkly Tim: I'm sure Dannii is very happy for Kylie and would have loved an OBE of her own.
ReplyDeleteNot that there is a chance in hell for her to ever get one.
Dinah: I know, she looks adorable. She's smiling with her eyes.
T-Birdy: I like it. Granted I like the blue one better (had she taken the belt off) but I bet it was nice and cool in the heat.
Loved, loved, loved the gold shoes though
When I saw these pics I thought 'I know Kylie's small (same size as me) but that daft prince isn't a giant.
ReplyDeleteThen I saw he towered over the rugby player as well - he's standing on a platform to make him look important.
I have a belt like that on on the blue frock - Yay
KAZ: Are you 5'2 in heels?
ReplyDeleteI bet Prince Charles would be 5'5 in heels too and he borrows Camillas every chance he gets.
Regarding the belt, how very madonna of you ;)
Her back up singers look great in the red with medals frocks, and white neck collars and gloves, and black hats...they should give her mom some tips on not mixing plaid with polka dots...That being said, she looks great in that YSL dress. That smile is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAs for Chuck, he looks red, like he just got done riding a white horse...
Am I 5'2 in heels??
ReplyDeleteNot quite - but remember I wear Docs.
Bingowings: He does, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteBut then I suppose Camilla had been around earlier.
Kaz: She's fibbing though saying that. Sounds better than saying you're 5'0 barefoot.
Docs, that's a bit scary. Are you a closet lesbian?
She is.
ReplyDeleteI'm not! Well not much.
ReplyDeleteI've been wearing docs so long that they are back in fashion now.
Honest!
