You know, because we didn''t have DL in 1981.- Charles and Diana look sooooo in love! This marriage will last a lifetime!
- I hear Diana has a thing for the Arabs.
- She''s a fucking CUNT for leaving out "obey" from her vows. Who does hell does she think she is? What a BITCH.

- Nancy Reagan looked so classy at the wedding. Her and the president are said to be very gay friendly!

- Who''s that woman in the back that looks like a horse? Camilla somethingorother?
- One day...that will be me.

- Once I get Charles alone I will make him forget all about Camilla.
- I''m waiting for Luke and Laura to get married on GH.\

THAT is going to be a wedding!\

I hope Scotty comes back for it!\
\
His gig on Texas turned out to be a bust. I read he might go to GL, but I really want him back in GH.\

They should have him catch the bouquet if L&L get married.

- If they have a baby they should call it Up. Then they can sign their Christmas cards - Up, Chuck and Di.

- Happy Birthday to me! She''s got to be somewhere under all those ruffles. God, my nuts hurt....
Will, 19 & recovering from surgery.

- She looks like she''s marrying her grandfather. I don''t think this bodes well. And the kiss - she was really into him, he was standoffish.\
\
Don''t even start on the horrible dress with the puffy sleeves!
- I''m sure the Queen makes a lovely mother-in-law. I bet within 5 years she steps down so Chuck can take over.

The minister said, Charles Phillip Arthur George and she repeats back Charles Arthur Phillip George.
- I rather be the tampon in Camilla''s cooch than stuck in this church with this neurtic drag.
Charles
- Nerves, R32. Certainly not an example of stupidity. You must be one of the petty grammar/spelling queens, correct?
- Diana was a very bright girl, did you see her interview before her death?
- I wonder how long until Edward comes out? I can''t seem him ever getting married and having kids. Can you imagine if Andrew ever marries Koo Stark? I hear he''s been screwing around with her and that the Queen doesn''t like it one bit! I bet the palace has her killed before THAT ever happens!

I''m sure they''ll have a lot in common.
- Imagine her going up to space in that dress! She could always use it as a parachute if she gets too scared. Seriously, I can''t be jealous. She''s headed for such a mundane, trivial existence I almost feel sorry for her. The wedding was so exciting, I could have burst! Not.
Christa McAuliffe

- I suppose by the time Charles and Di''s kids get married there won''t be any of this kind of pomp.

- R10, nothing. The only thing the found was her carcass.

- Why didn''t Lady Di wear a diamond encrusted headband? That would have looked gorgeous.
Olivia Newton-John
- My psychic says the marriage won''t last: Diana has a bad case of Car-Pole Tunnel syndrome (whatever that means)
- The wedding reflects a Buckingham Palace that's very archaic and traditional but I hear in the Queen's quarters, behind closed doors, she has all the latest technological amenities at her disposal - answering machines, garbage compactors, solar heaters, VHS VCR's, caller ID (she can dial a certain number and a recording will reveal who called her), and her very own personal telex. %0D
%0D
I also hear she has placed one of the first orders for what's called a compact disc player. Stereophonic recordings are now being made digitally on these indestructible shiny records called compact discs. They are about 1/4 the size of an album and can fit more tracks. The sound is played by a laser beam and it is always good - it will never scratch or skip, ever! %0D
%0D
They're paving the future with gold for the recording industry, as they will be able to mass-produce these rather inexpensively. Lucky bastards will dominate the air waves with these for decades to come. %0D
%0D
If I were a Wall Street investor, I'd put my money on the major recording labels, as they will never be ousted from profitability, thanks to advanced technology.

Fail, r32. The right for gay people to marry was barely a blip on gay people''s radar in 1981. It was an outrageous concept, even to many gay people. Most assumed they''d never get the chance, even if they did eventually settle down. Longterm monogamy was not a widespread goal in most gay people''s minds in 1981. Even for those who attained it, they no doubt felt the sting of inequality, but no one saw "Reagan" as the sole reason or even the embodiment of opposition to gay marriage, since not a single mainstream politician or political party was actually in favor of gay marriage. It was not a concept most people discussed seriously.\
\
So, um, no.
- Meant to address r47

Um ok...yes. That''s what I mean to tell you. \

Can I tell you with certainty that "NO ONE" (I assume you mean no gay people) applied for a marriage liscense anywhere, ever, prior to 1981? No. But as someone who was alive at that time I can tell you gay people didn''t complain that they couldn''t get married because of Ronald Reagan''s election. \
\
Besides the fact that "gay marriage" wasn''t really on a lot of people''s minds, most gay people were more concerned with more basic civil rights issues, like job and housing discrimination, and the numerous local and statewide efforts to deny us any form of legal protection. \

- Got up. On the news was the tragedy of the weekend, the hotel walkway that collapsed in Kansas City and a lot of people were killed. Oh and I’m reading in the Enquirer about Kate Jackson and Andrew Stevens. Kate was out with us at Halston’s in Montauk this past weekend. She was with Rock Brynner, Yul’s son. Kate will do things like look at the ocean and say how beautiful it is, or go out alone and stare at the moon or walk along the beach alone and pick up a rock and throw it. (laughs) I’m serious! That kind of corny thing. I don’t know. She’s from the South, but still...
I stopped at John Reinhold’s office to hear the news about the new diamond discovery in Australia, and diamond prices are down. Went to the office (cab $5).
I was really upset at Rupert because he’s gone away for weeks to Jamaica, and now half of his assistants are going on vacation, too, and I got really mad at one of them, Horst, because I was telling him that Rupert better watch out, and if they couldn’t help me that I was going to find myself another silkscreener. And Horst was laughing at me like a German—he said, “I should have brought you a rose, so you would be in a better mood.” And I said, “Look, don’t tell me about roses—Rupert got the job in the first place because Alex Heinrici went on a vacation—a long vacation just like this one that Rupert’s taking—and I just looked around and found somebody else. And I can do it again.”
And I blew my cool all day—I hung up on a few people, but it’ll be good for their memoirs.

On an unrelated note, I've started to notice that I'm having ... how do I put this? I'm having some odor issues ... down there. I just turned 16, and I'm admittedly a little heavy for my age and height, but the odor is just puberty, right? I'm sure it will go away soon!

- Diana Ross's "Endless Love" with that guy from the Commodores is a monster hit! She is UNSTOPPABLE! I think both she and Olivia Newton John (who's also continuing her mega stardom roll with "Physical") are the queens of Pop Music, bound to continue cranking those great number 1's till they can no longer sing.
Speaking of Diana, WHET to any of the other Supremes? Looks like we'll never hear a peep from any of them. I have it from a good source they are planning to reunite them for Motown's 25th Anniversary in a couple of years. That should be the event of the decade. Can't wait to hear them sing a whole bunch of their hits. It's gonna be such a cool and joyous reunion, to see them happily together again once more sharing the stage!
Diana fan - she is so loving!
- I sent an email to the webmaster on the eve of the wedding. I'm sure I'll hear back any day now!
- I cannot believe I got up in the middle of the might to watch this hot mess. That wedding dress looked like a bundle of laundry, and did you see her HAIR? For crapssakes, woman, use Aquanet, or a crimping iron, or SOMETHING.
Don't even get me started on the god-awful tangerine going-away outfit with the short sleeves and the feathered tricorne.
- Mary Tyler Moore is a real bitch in Ordinary People.
- I just ordered my Chrysler K car. These vechiles will save the American car industry, I just know it.

I guess I'll just drink a can of TAB and watch the royal wedding. Another thing I was wrong about- I could have sworn Charles was still in love with that ex girlfriend Camilla but here he is marrying that nice Diana.
My instincts suck.

Didn't know she was interviewed. Was this after the mastectomy? John has yet to recover from her dying in his arms. Poor thing, I see him at the spa all the time wandering about aimlessly and booking a lot of massage sessions, probably to ease the stress and tension of Hyland's tragic demise.
