Max has visited a training centre wearing a very distinctive blouse! But the image of Max trucking has really made my day! Grin Has she taken off one of her shoes?!

Looks like it! And I agree that’s the best picture I’ve seen for weeks 😀

Maireas · 14/07/2021 18:24

That second picture is great Grin.
Of course she gives it a go! Definitely taken the high shoe off to drive.
Crazy blouse.

Oh that's brilliant @MotherofPearl!! She is hilarious. I think she has definitely taken one of her shoes off - would be hard to drive in those platforms!

RickiTarr · 14/07/2021 18:50

Grin She is very normal seeming.

The back seat of my car used to be full of discarded platform shoes, back in the noughties. And the glove box was stocked with flip flops and butterfly ballet flats. Every couple of weeks I’d carry the shoes all back inside and restock the glove compartment with driving flats again.

Maireas · 14/07/2021 19:10

RickiTarr Grin I like your style!
I always think Max would be an absolute hoot on a night out. Her and Cams. Maybe Anne?
Who should we invite for cocktails at the Park Lane and then clubbing?

Love Sarah Chatto's dress and that she's recognised the benefits to being low key. I agree about hoping she and her brother have lived happy lives.

RickiTarr · 14/07/2021 19:30

I think Mary is more fun than she sometimes looks, too.

MotherofPearl · 14/07/2021 20:51

I reckon Cams is all about the gin! She'd be a laugh on a night out for sure.

Eaumyword · 14/07/2021 21:00

I agree, @MotherofPearl! My god, the stories...!

MotherofPearl · 14/07/2021 21:16

Actually I think Sophie would also be good fun on a night out. She seems sincerely nice.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 14/07/2021 21:37

Definitely Max but I think Kate has a secret mad side to her when she feels totally at ease.
I think Bea & Eugenie would be be great on a night out too especially if they've inherited their Mum's mad streak!
I think if we're inviting Camilla then Daisy Denmark should come along too!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 14/07/2021 21:40

Yes to Sophie & CP Victoria & Princess Sofia of Sweden too.
Pity Margaret isn't still with us, but we'd probably have to shove her in the cupboard under the stairs when she started being a pain in the butt & going all Imperial on us or give her loads of tequila to shut her up 😂

Maireas · 14/07/2021 21:41

Most definitely Daisy Denmark. She undoubtedly is a laugh.

Maireas · 14/07/2021 21:42

We'd be agog to see who was the most outragously dressed, Max or Daisy Denmark!

OP posts:
TracyBeakerSoYeah · 14/07/2021 21:45

I bet it would be Anne as she'd whip out an original outrageous early 70's outfit that still fits her perfectly.
Now who would be the last woman standing & wanting to carry on partying until the middle of the next day?

Maireas · 14/07/2021 22:04

True. Something she commissioned from Susan Small in 1973. Last woman standing? CP Mary. I reckon she's got stamina.

OP posts:
Maireas · 14/07/2021 22:11

She'll still have this one. It's good look.

Gotta love this. Daisy made it herself from that fabric used to make wipe down table cloths.

No, I think Max would be the last (wo)man standing. CPM and Kate would nurse white wine spritzers all night and leave early because they had Pilates in the morning!

CPV would get stuck sat next to Charlene who'd regale her with all her woes about life with Albert after half a bottle of red.

Daisy Denmark would be sharing fascinating anecdotes about the people she drank with on the Left Bank when she was a student at the Sorbonne in the 60s. Camilla and Anne would be on the whisky and brandy, respectively, while swapping filthy stories about APB.

Meanwhile Beatrice and Eugenie would be trying to stop a gatecrashing Fergie from dancing on the table, and Sophie would be the one ordering taxis and making sure everyone got home safely.

And the next day we'd all wake to a text from Meghan offering us a discount on a juice cleanse she'd just invested in!

Maireas · 14/07/2021 22:22

Love it @KilingMeDeftly! Grin

OP posts:
TracyBeakerSoYeah · 14/07/2021 22:24

I think Max would be fighting Anne for this Susan Small outfit

That rain coat Daisy has made it's bonkers but suits her!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 14/07/2021 22:26

I can just picture it exactly @KillingMeDeftly 😂

Maireas · 14/07/2021 22:39

Good call, Tracy! I think Max could rock this with some of her orange accessories. Plus plenty of bling.

I’d love to be on that night out.

I think Kate would be exactly as described with that guest list.

But on a night out of just women aged 30-45 I think she could be persuaded to let her hair down and turn out to be the funniest drunk. (Always the quiet ones).
