Thoughts on Monaco

[ceebeegee]

Monaco is one square mile. That's, like, smaller than a college campus. That's tiny. How come they get to be their own country? I don't understand why some other country didn't snap them up in the Middle Ages--are they completely impregnable (insert your favorite Princess Stephanie joke here) the way Gibraltar is?

And it's just a marvel of genetics how staggeringly good-looking their royal family is. All that lustrous dark hair and long legs and dark eyes and full lips. It's insane.

I wonder if Prince Rainier stands up there in his palace late at night looking down at the lights and giggling to himself, "My very own principality, hee hee hee" and clapping his hands?

Grace Kelly certainly did not hurt the gene pool... But look at Prince Albert, he began losing his hair earlier than expected.

Oh yeah. Grace Kelly was the Monagesque genetic dea ex machina version of Diana--beautiful blonde outsider dropped into the middle of an inbred royal family for desperately-needed genetic upgrading. And yeah, Prince Albert isn't that great. But Princess Caroline, and her children, and Princess Stephanie, and her children...they're stunning, all of them.
