A Royal Reader?

Given how many friends I have in the UK, I've always been a little surprised by how many hits this blog receives from the Brits.  I now have a working theory as to the source of the traffic.

A State-side reader points to this story about Kate Middleton and the dress Kate was wearing at what's been billed as her last solo public appearance before the upcoming birth:  shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/kate-middleton-christens-royal-princess-ship--starts-rumored-maternity-leave-133307133.html  Take a look at this dress!

Does it remind you of a canine breed we've been featuring on this blog?  I suspect that Kate has noticed too, and that our influence extends to her fashion choices -- even if only subconsciously.

BTW, click on the link in the first paragraph of the story when it refers to the "Dalmatian print coat dress."  You'll see that "festive Dalmatian is the print of the season!"  No surprise there.  More evidence of our influence.
