Kate’s cousin Katrina did a ‘striptease’

Katrina Darling, the cousin of Prince William’s bride-to-be Kate Middleton, was the centre of attention when she performed her regal striptease in 2010, a media report said on Saturday. Her signature act, aptly titled “God save the Queen”, ends with her attired in nothing more than red nipple tassels and a barely-there thong, the Daily Mail reported. It is the royal family’s closest brush with “soft porn” since Prince Andrew’s love interest Koo Stark appeared naked in an erotic film, the newspaper said. Her role in the risque movie, Emily, famously ended the 18-month relationship after Buckingham Palace deemed her unsuitable. So one wonders what “the firm” would make of Miss Darling’s act which, although arguably patriotic, is unlikely to secure an invitation to the royal wedding, it said. The dancer had no idea she was related to Miss Middleton when she created her regal striptease in 2010.

New York: Britain’s premier auction house Christie’s auction house says it has reached an agreement with Elizabeth Taylor’s family to sell her prized jewellery collection, as well as some of her art, clothing and other memorabilia.
Christie’s says it is planning a series of auctions that will be announced later this spring.
Elizabeth Taylor died on March 23 at the age of 79. The screen star was known for her passion for opulent diamonds.
She published a book in 2003 titled, Elizabeth Taylor: My Love Affair with Jewellery, and her collection has included some of the world’s most expensive stones. —AP

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
