From Royal Blog News Summary

While perusing the delightful blog Royal Anecdotes, MM found a post about a story in the Daily Mail about members of the British royal family and how they look like their ancestors, like Queen Victoria and Princess Beatrice of York, Prince William of Wales and Albert the Prince Consort. MM particularly loved this side by side comparison of the young Princess May of Teck (later Queen Mary) and her great-great-grandson Prince Harry of Wales. Mary 'n Harry! Check it out!!!

Mr. Mickey loves bathroom talk, but today we're talking about toilet paper not po-po!! If you're a tree-hugger like Mr. M you wanna save as many trees as possible and buying paper products that are made of post-consumer recycled paper. The Natural Resources Defense Fund has a great website that lists which brands use the most recycled product and save the most trees. If every household in the USA replaced one roll of their stinky rotten Bounty of Viva paper towels (which are made with ZERO recycled paper) with one of the many cute brands made with 100 percent recycled paper we would save 544,000 trees! That's a lot!!! So MM says don't wipe your nose, your butt or your counter-top with anything but 100 percent recycled products!!!

Some of you fabulous friends who came out to see Mr. Mickey speak at the Save the Garment Center Rally a few weeks  have asked MM what you can do to support the cause. Well, SavetheGarmentCenter.org is your one-stop shopping spot for news about the cause. So log-on and spread the word!!!!

MM's favorite Russian royalty website Royal Russia has just published some fabulous pictures of the new palace of zillionaire businessman Sergey Vasileva, which is outside St. Petersburg. The palace is certainly not minimal and interestingly is dedicated to last Tsar Nicholas II. A statue of the Emperor is in the garden and a stained glass window in the palace church depicts the life of the martyred last royal family. Check out pics of the interior here.

Mr. Mickey has really been bustin' out the high-octane sparkle looks the past few weeks in a tragic attempt to finally land a spot on the International Best-Dressed List!!! Take a peek at two stellar looks from Halloween weekend. MM in a floor-length sparkle stunner with stylist Andrew Floyd and in a pageant mom special including wig with PAPER Executive Editor Alexis Swerdloff! The Best-Dressed Committee won't be able to resist!!

She also wanted you to know about Sri Lankan humanitarian organizations Sarvodaya and the Manitha Neyam Trust. You don't hear much about them abroad, but they're working in and around the camps and have solid reputations.
