Yaryna’s 10 Least Favorite Tiaras

10. The Aquamarine Pinecone Tiara

If I were to receive this as a gift, I’d politely thank whoever gave it to me and promptly break it apart.

9. The Burmese Ruby Tiara

I hate this tiara not only because it looks like Liz is wearing five crabs, but because the Nizam of Hyderabad was destroyed to make this. I will never forgive Liz for that.

8. The Four Button Tiara

At least it’s all diamond buttons? The extra diamond strand that sometimes appears on the bottom doesn’t help make this look any less like a jeep.

7. The Ruby and Diamond Aigrette

The positives about this are: the historic value (I’ll have a post up on this tiara as part of my Norway’s tiaras series in a few days) and the fact that Princess Astrid is its wearer and she can pull it off. And even then it still looks like a pair of antennae. 

6. The Norwegian Gold Bandeau

This tiara is just...special. Read more about it here.

5. Mikimoto Jeux de Rubans Tiara.

Note to all tiara designers and potential future tiara designers: please have a lesbian on your approvals team. Because if you don’t, you get a tiara that has a clitoris.

4. The Linley Beechwood Tiara

It looks like it was made from human skin. Buffalo Bill is exactly who I want to feel like when I’m wearing a tiara. No thank you.

3. Queen Margrethe’s Golden Poppies

I swear, Daisy was drunk when she commissioned this...uh, thing I refuse to call a tiara. It’s bad. It’s so bad.

2. Princess Madeleine’s 18th Birthday Tiara (The Swedish Aquamarine Bandeau)

Carl Gustaf and Silvia are ABSOLUTE CRAP at giving their daughters 18th birthday tiaras. The first example of this is Madeleine’s 18th birthday cyclops. It is literally an aquamarine in a silver/gold frame. THAT’S IT. But Madeleine got lucky compared to her sister...

1. Crown Princess Victoria’s 18th Birthday Tiara

Dear Carl Gustaf and Silvia: Why, of all the possible tiaras to give your oldest child and heir, the future Queen of Sweden, Godmother of Europe, beloved of everyone she meets, a set of poorly designed paperclips and sequins that’s masquerading as a tiara? Seriously. Victoria received a tiara that looks more at home on the head of a member of the homecoming court than on a future monarch. Victoria truly got the short end of the stick. Thank god she hasn’t worn it for 10 years. I hope this isn’t passed down to Estelle - or anyone.

He’s looking pretty happy about it, I won’t lie. Does he go trick or treating in his adorable little outfit?

The likelyhood of Andrew being friends with only one pedo sex trafficker seems slim to none to me…. but Williams facial expressions are the problem ��

Honestly.  Priorities, people

I don’t know if you saw, but the mail had this article a week or so ago about the audacity of H&M for getting pedicures that were like 60 usd. I wanted to comment that they got a super good deal at the fancy af hotel spa because when I was dating that guy with the foot fetish I got $65 pedicures every two weeks in my Georgia college town semi sketch nail salon. So really they’re being frugal 😂

I hope that guy reimbursed you. I’m one of those people who thinks I should be able to buy my entire beauty regime for less than £10. I don’t get it at all, it’s so expensive. But I am aware that I’m on my own there haha. I know these things are pretty expensive and in London especially that doesn’t surprise me as a price for a pedicure. The only royal whose feet should be a talking point is Sarah Ferguson

Where I lived in Indiana, the neighboring county didn't observe DST, so you could go in and out of the time change 3 or 4 times in 30 minutes if you kept crossing the county lines which is very doable because of gerrymandering

I used to mind daylight savings time way less before I had a kid and also before the US decided to extend DST three weeks in the spring and one week in the fall. I work in team with people from the UK, Canada and the US, and our meeting schedules get hopelessly bunged up. Tomorrow, I have a meeting set by someone in the UK, normally at 10:30amET, it’s now at 11:30. Except I already have a meeting from 11-12ET that was set by someone here. The name thing doesn’t bother me, TBH.

I live in Pennsylvania (USA) and we change our clocks 2 times a year. Daylight Saving Time starts on the second Sunday in March of every year and ends on the first Sunday in November. So in Nov. you gain 1 hour (set the clocks back on hour) and in the spring you loose an hour (set the clock forward an hour). Personally I think it’s all rather pointless tho.

Hi Jess ! I live in California, so we’re PST- Pacific Standard Time, and we change times in March and in November. We have a mnemonic “ Spring forward, fall back, as a reminder. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But last November the State passed a bill to get rid of Daylight Saving’s Time, so this might be the last time we need to do this!

A lot of people have opinions about DST it would seem haha. As I mentioned before, we do the clock changes but we just don’t call them different things and we also all use the same time zone so we don’t have that weird thing like Anna has in Indiana. It makes my brain hurt haha. I honestly thought you all changed the clocks and that was it so I thought you were just being big babies haha. This makes sense now and I sincerely apologise

Jess Jess Jess!!!! Look what I got to do on Monday?!?!?!?

I LOVE COWS. They’re so stupid and amazing and cute. Why were you chilling with cows?

This majestic beast is the late Bruce Springsteen. He was a very good boy

Submission from @anna8910

Excellent name choice, can I just say? I imagine you could cause some confusion by talking to people about when Bruce Springsteen passed away. He is so handsome. Cats are usually cute or adorable but he is handsome. I’ve never looked at a cat and seen such a resemblance to a big, wild cat in my life. He looks like he was meant to be the alpha in his own pride of lions and just got lost on the way
