Here are some of the highlights from the January 2014 issue of Sister2Sister magazine:
Ida Harris (Left Eye's former manager):
Everything about Lisa was negative. Maybe I'm looking at it through jaded eyes, but I just didn't see anything positive.
[On TLC not talking about the good Pebbles did for them] They never talked about how they ordered diamond earrings from the Waldorf when they were in New York, or she chartered them limousines for months at a time; it's a whole bunch of stuff. So I don't know where all the anger is coming from.
Uncle Kyle:
Lisa told me a few weeks before she went to Honduras that she had been really researching things, and she said to me that Perri was the best thing that happened to them. When she got back, Perri was one of the main people that she wanted to talk to because she found out that it was all the powers that be at LaFace and Arista that had done this to them, as far as (taking their profits from record sales.) She wanted to apologize to Perri but she never got the chance to.
Otrinay "Trinay" Smith:
The portrayal of her in the movie as far as being selfish, or being a drunk, that is wrong. She would give you the clothes off her back. Also, she didn't even drink beer. She didn't walk around with a 40. They depicted her as if she were common.
Uncle Kyle:
Lisa wasn't so controlled by him [Larry]. She did listen to him, but I believe that some of the things he said made sense. (Tangi says the scene where T-Boz and Chilli told Lisa that Larry was married didn't happen; she found out on her own.)
Trinay Smith:
[On the song "Eye For An Eye," a song that Left Eye made with her.] I told her, 'Don't put it out.' Because she expressed how she felt. It's like a Tupac 'Hit 'Em Up" song.
Uncle Kyle:
[On the fire] Lisa was not crying in the woods. Lisa was not a crier.

The Embedded Corporation:
"The rich historical and contemporary data contained in The Embedded Corporation will disappoint those who want to believe that the American styles of capitalism and human resource management are destined to take over the world. Instead, thanks to Sanford Jacoby we now have the nuanced understanding of how Japanese and American firms differ in these two important areas, and yet how global pressures are moving them in some similar directions. Anyone who seeks to change corporate practices in Japan or the U.S., or who writes about these issues, should stop doing so until they read and absorb the lessons of this masterpiece in comparative research."--Thomas A. Kochan, Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
"Sanford Jacoby has provided us with a persuasive and informed perspective on a truly important issue: the reform of corporate governance and employment practices. In addition to his historical analysis, he offers a remarkable comparison of the United States and Japan based on the human resource function in large firms. In recent years, both Japan and the United States have become oriented toward the market and shareholders, yet the gap between them has widened. In an impressive way, this conclusion underscores the existence of 'the embedded corporation' and the varieties of capitalism."--Takeshi Inagami, University of Tokyo
"This very clearly written book represents the first serious attempt to chart what has been happening to the way in which Japanese and American companies have reorganized internally over the last decade of so-called 'globalization.' Moreover, it is by someone widely regarded as one of the leading experts on the subject. Marvelously interesting to read, it will illumine an important and murky debate."--David Soskice, Department of Political Science, Duke University, coauthor of Varieties of Capitalism
"A splendid book, lucid, cogent, and written in a style that is a pleasure to read. The Embedded Corporation is a major contribution to several academic fields, from management studies to industrial sociology to political economy. It will also appeal to human resources people concerned for the future of their profession, those curious about where the Japanese economy is headed, and people generally interested in the distribution of power and income in American society."--Ronald Dore, London School of Economics, author of Stock Market Capitalism

Why Men Enjoy Professional Wrestling — DRAFT
One of the most popular sports in the world is professional wrestling — if you count it as a sport, of course. The overwhelmingly male audience absolutely loves watching dudes in leotards beat each other up in matches with pre-determined outcomes.
I've been a fan of professional wrestling since I was a young kid. At the time, professional wrestling was a pretty pure, fun sport with a mainly juvenile audience. Over time, it's switched to become more adult-oriented, then back again, and it has picked up a lot of viewers in the 20 to 30 age group. However, as wrestling fans know, people look down on you when you enjoy a good WWE show or two-a-week, and many women in particular seem to malign wrestling as a form of entertainment.
It's hard for many women to understand this, but professional wrestling is popular with men because it's awesome fun. Yes, it's fake. Yes, it looks incredibly homosexual. It's still awesome.
In order to adequately explain why men love professional wrestling, here's a look at the main criticisms of the sport.
It's Gay
Lots of people level the "homosexual" charge at professional wrestling. If you're watching it with sex on the mind, yeah, I guess it looks pretty homosexual. But so does two dudes playing tennis, if you look hard enough. Seriously, only middle school kids think that two guys are gay just because they touch, or because they violently thrust their crotch at a guy during a suplex.
It's Fake
Many women can't understand why guys would watch something as obviously fake as professional wrestling. Listen: we know it's fake. We also know that the guy who plays House M.D. is not a real doctor, and that if Bart Simpson was real he'd be a hideously deformed mutant. Just because something's fake doesn't mean it's less entertaining.
Professional wrestling is the last remaining form of American vaudeville–it's over the top, unnecessarily weird, and grossly entertaining because of its fake-ness. If the Undertaker admitted that he wasn't a dead man born in Death Valley who killed his brother and parents, and instead was just some blowhard with naturally curly hair and lame tattoos, nobody would care when he gave someone a pile driver.
It's Designed For Idiots
Alright, yes, wrestling has its moments of massive stupidity. But look at the top shows on American television. Can women really look down on professional wrestling when Dancing With The Stars is one of the top shows in the country? How about Maury, Rachel Ray, every soap opera ever made, and American Idol? They're all at least as lowbrow as professional wrestling, but they're just not as up front about being completely fake.
The thing is television needs silly, stupid stuff. You don't want to watch high brow, thought provoking stuff every time you switch on the tube. Sometimes, you want something that appeals to your base instincts–for many women, that's reality TV, soap operas, daytime TV, etc. For many men, it's something like professional wrestling: a silly sport about beating people up with a ton of unnecessary drama thrown in. That's just good entertainment.

Taking Pregnancy Tests With Friends
Pregnancy Test Taking Goes Social With Pee Parties and More!
Here's a post from our partners at BabyCenter! Every week, we bring you the best parenting and lifestyle stories from the experts at BabyCenter, including this post about pee parties.
The journey to conception historically was one that was primarily discussed in the privacy of a couple's bedroom or in a doctor's office. But like almost everything about our lives in the age of social media, the discussion of that journey has moved online and it has become social.
Related: The Postpartum Swag Your Lady Parts Will Love!
Women today are no longer charting, trying to conceive and taking pregnancy tests alone. Today she can involve other women online in the entire process. From charting to the moment she thinks she might be pregnant, she's talking about it with her friends online. She can let them know she's leaving to go to the store to get a test. She can even update them that she's in line and will be home in 20 minutes while her friends and strangers online wait to see a picture of the test.
In the BabyCenter Community, we are at the center of the conception trends. We see our members sharing everything about their journey, from finding others at the exact same point in their cycle, to POAS (peeing on a stick) at the same time, even to posting pictures of that test to get other opinions.
The three trends to watch:
Cycle Buddies: Women find other women based on their cycle. Having the same cycle allows our members to update each other daily on their journey and symptoms. They watch each other's charts, compare their experiences and cheer for each other to get that BFP (big fat positive). It's an online friendship and shared experience based on the smallest moment of time and sometimes the most pivotal time in a woman's life.
Pee Parties: Taking a pregnancy test can be a nerve-wracking experience. It can feel like you're the only person experiencing all the emotions that go into that testing experience. To counter that stress, members of our community often test together in a "Pee Party". They test at a set time with other members with similar cycles and share the results. Often other members on BabyCenter know about a pregnancy before anyone in a woman's "real life", many times even before their partners know the big news.
Test Tweakers: Pregnancy test tweaking has evolved from an idea into an art form. We've all probably heard "a line is a line" when it comes to pregnancy tests, but sometimes a faint line can be confusing. If you've ever closed one eye and held a test up to the window to get better lighting you know what I mean. Those skilled in the art of tweaking seem to know when a faint line is a "dye run", when it's iffy and the tester should try again with FMU (first morning urine) and when they can "pull pink" and call it a BFP (big fat positive). Many of the most active tweakers even edit the picture of the BFP with a congratulations message. The test tweaking threads contain drama, anticipation and joy making them some of our most read TTC discussions in Community.
I remember taking a pregnancy test with my fourth baby and posting the pictures in the BabyCenter Community. The line was so light and I just wanted someone else to tell me they saw the lines too. It was also a way to share the news while still keeping it quiet.
All the trends do have one thing in common, they make the process of trying to conceive something that can be shared with others, yet remain private in a woman's offline life. It's almost the perfect blend of support, friendship and privacy, which is why they have proven to be so popular.
Has your journey to conception gone social?

Rubens' Innocents - Poem by Kenneth Slessor
IF all those tumbling babes of heaven,
Plump cherubim with blown cheeks,
Could vault in these warm skies, or leaven
Our starry silent mountain-peaks—
O painter of chub-faced, shining-thighed
Fat Ganymedes of God—what noise
Would churn between the clouds and stride
Far downward from those rose-mouthed boys!
Down to our spires their lusty whooping,
Fanfares of Paradise, would speed,
Far down to dark-faced clergy stooping
Round altars of their doleful creed;
And God, whose wings of silver sweep
Like metal afire on heaven's rim,
Would daze them with a twinkling peep
Of those young moon-stained cherubim—
Then, for a trice, their skies might sparkle,
And some gold ichor splash amid
Those most respectable, patriarchal
Purveyors of stale pardons, hid
Behind their old cathedral closes
From this unguessed, unguessable God,
Shining before their learned noses
Down roads that Peter Rubens trod.

Johnny Depp To Be Pancho Villa
In Emir Kusturica's biopic
Johnny Depp's looking to get back into the world of biopics, eyeing a role as Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa for Serbian director Emir Kusturica, with whom he worked on 1993's Arizona Dream.
Kusturica's film will not only boast Depp in the leading role (and Salma Hayek, if she signs as a co-star), but also plans to enter the competition against Percy Jackson for Longest Movie Title, as it's currently lumbered with the moniker Seven Friends Of Pancho Villa And The Woman With Six Fingers. Catchy!
The director and his co-writer Gordan Mihic based their script on James Carlos Blake's novel The Friends Of Pancho Villa, which chronicles both the man's life of fighting the good fight, robbing the nasty rich and making with the sweet lady-pleasing love.
Everything will have to wait a while though: Depp's not available until 2011, so Kusturica will have the time to shoot an entire other film before they start work on the Spanish-language epic…

Iron-refractory iron deficiency anaemia (IRIDA) is a rare disorder which was linked to mutations in two genes (SLC11A2 and TMPRSS6). Common polymorphisms within these genes were associated with serum iron levels. We identified a family of Serbian origin with asymptomatic non-consanguineous parents with three of four children presenting with IRIDA not responding to oral but to intravenous iron supplementation. After excluding all known causes responsible for iron deficiency anaemia we searched for mutations in SLC11A2 and TMPRSS6 that could explain the severe anaemia in these children.
We sequenced the exons and exon–intron boundaries of SLC11A2 and TMPRSS6 in all six family members. Thereby, we found seven known and fairly common SNPs, but no new mutation. We then genotyped these seven SNPs in the population-based SAPHIR study (n?=?1,726) and performed genetic association analysis on iron and ferritin levels. Only two SNPs, which were top-hits from recent GWAS on iron and ferritin, exhibited an effect on iron and ferritin levels in SAPHIR. Six SAPHIR participants carrying the same TMPRSS6 genotypes and haplotype-pairs as one anaemic son showed lower ferritin and iron levels than the average. One individual exhibiting the joint SLC11A2/TMPRSS6 profile of the anaemic son had iron and ferritin levels lying below the 5th percentile of the population's iron and ferritin level distribution. We then checked the genotype constellations in the Nijmegen Biomedical Study (n?=?1,832), but the profile of the anaemic son did not occur in this population.
We cannot exclude a gene-gene interaction between SLC11A2 and TMPRSS6, but we can also not confirm it. As in this case candidate gene sequencing did not reveal causative rare mutations, the samples will be subjected to whole exome sequencing.

A model of workplace learning
My colleagues at Internet Time Alliance and I have been discussing new models for learning. Not that I am giving up on this one:
Experience is still a more important teacher in the workplace than classes or workshops. People retain more when they learn informally, in response to need, because they deem the subject relevant and what they learn is reinforced when they put it into practice. The proportions of formal and informal learning vary with the task at hand, the context for learning, and the psyche of the learner. Generally, informal learning carries anywhere from four to ten times the weight of formal learning.
The old model is a wake-up call that says informal learning is important. Instead of acting like it's not there, we should shape our organizations to nurture it. What's missing is the how. How do you choose the aspects of informal learning you want to emphasize? The model doesn't tell you that. You've had to select from a separate menu of options, for example: Continue reading

Excellent Doctor
Dr Johnson is one of the better family doctors I've been to. His office runs very smooth and is easy to get in for appointments. He listens very intently and explains things very well. He is always open to try different things and you can tell he really cares about his patients.

Dr. Johnson is very rude and does not care about his patients. Doesn't return calls in a timely fashion. He would rather talk about himself and his busy schedule than actually help with your medical issues.

He Really Cares
Dr. Johnson is incredible. He's someone who actually cares about me, not just my prescriptions. Even when the wait for him is a little long and he has more patients to see than me, he takes time to help me out and brighten up my day a little. Love to see doctors like him.

Great Doctor
I have seen Dr. Johnson for about one year. The staff is very friendly and helpful every time I have gone in. Dr. Johnson is always caring and listens to all of my concerns. Dr. Johnson is a very caring and professional doctor. I would definately (and have) recommend him to anybody. The only issue I have with my visits is the wait time in the front office. I have had to wait up to 25 minutes, but other times I have got in in 5 minutes. I guess the wait time is hit or miss. The 25 minute wait is, however, worth seeing and being heard by Dr. Johnson.

Love Dr. Johnson
Dr. Johnson takes the time to sit and listen to what I have to say. He is sincere and makes me feel special. My only complaint is that when I do call and leave a message with his office staff, I do not hear back from them for a few days. All in all though, I will continue to go to Dr. Johnson as he seems very knowledgeable and is so very caring. Something that is hard to find these days in this busy world.

Dr. Johnson Doesn't CARE!
I have been his patient for about a year. This man will give you a prescription, but obviously doesn't investigate his medicines. If you run into a problem while he is on vacation, better just go to the hospital, because his staff will NOT return calls, and if you complain, then HE doesnt return them either. If I was dying, which I could have been at one point!

Unprofessional and uncaring
Appointment was mid morning and did not see him until lunch time. By that time he was too rushed to answer questions and was more concerned about eating meal a RX rep had provided. Have left his practice and am now happy with an Internal Medicine provider in Lincoln who takes the time to listen.

Conversation on the phone yesterday....
"Hello, ____________ Hair Salon."
Me: "Hello, I'd like to make a hair appointment please."
"Um...well...um...there are no hair dressers."
"We have no hair dressers today. Nobody is here. Can you come another day?"
Where did all the hairdressers go? Were they kidnapped? Was there a hair cutting convention? Are they misplaced, like my keys? With nobody there, why would the place be open?
Me:"Uh, wait a sec. You are a hair salon, you are open, but there's nobody there to cut hair?"
So who the heck are you then? Isn't that like Starbucks being open with no baristas? Only I'd just jump the counter and say "hey, I worked for you people, I'll make my own tall maple latte, thanks.". I'm not about to cut my own hair or I'll start looking like Bart Simpson..
"No, sorry. Nobody here. "
So.... I'm speaking to air? Maybe all the hairdressers have been murdered and I'm talking to a ghost?
Me:"Uh...ya. I'll call you back later in the week."
(singsong voice)"....oh sure, no problem, I'll be here...."
Way too creepy.
Oh well, maybe by Tuesday, they'll have found them. I really don't want to look like Bart Simpson.

- How to Read a Study Record
In acute stroke patients about 20 % have known diabetes. There is a doubled risk of recurrent stroke in diabetic patients. It has been shown that antiplatelet drugs are not as effective in diabetic patients as in non-diabetic patients. In acute stroke patients around 80 % have impaired glucose tolerance, which will improve after one month till about 60 %.
This study includes acute patients with minor stroke or TIA. They are followed up at one and six months and then at every six months for at least four years. The investigators perform an OGTT and haemostatic tests within the first days after onset and then at one month. Blood pressure, metabolic parameters, bodyweight, physical activity and diet are collected at each visit. The investigators give the patients information about lifestyle changes as needed.
As part of the study there is an interventional study, Medicine Yoga, an open randomized controlled study. Patients are randomized to 16 sessions of Yoga under professional instructions and a CD for home training or controls.
The aims of this study are to investigate glucose tolerance in acute stroke and TIA patients, and its relation to the different haemostatic variables. The importance of glucose tolerance, haemostatic variables and other risk factors (blood pressure, lipids, BMI,) on cardiovascular events will be investigated and the possibility to affect these risk factors by lifestyle changes and Yoga. The effect of different antiplatelet drugs will be investigated in relation to glucose tolerance.

The following is the full text of the formal protest by Samuel Untermyer, acting in behalf of the Nonsectarian Anti-Nazi League to Champion Human Rights, to Secretary of State Cordell Hull against negotiations with Germany leading to a trade agreement between the Reich and the United States
Sept. 29, 1934
Hon. Cordell Hull
Secretary of State
Washington, D. C.
My Dear Sir:
Supplementing the various persistent rumors that have been floating around all parts of the country and that have reached our organization, of active negotiations between representatives of the German Government and your Department looking to a trade-agreement for the exchange of merchandise, I received yesterday a telegram of which the following is a copy:
Five German cotton merchants representing German Government arriving tomorrow Steamer Bremen for purchase large quantity of cotton against payment in German merchandise proceeding Washington.
These reports, if true, are now sufficiently definite to justify us in entering a formal and emphatic protest against any such agreement or any further negotiations looking in that direction, as contrary to the best interests of the country.
The Nonsectarian Anti-Nazi League to Champion Human Rights, of which I am president, reflects the views of millions of American citizens against any commercial treaty or agreement with Germany at this time, for many reasons, of which time and space permit me to summarize here only a few.
In this connection you are reported in the New York papers and the Dow-Jones news-ticker of the 20th inst., and in other publications, as having made the extraordinary and unfounded statement, in referring to the boycott by this country of German-made goods, that as an example of practical economics:
. . . if such measures are resorted to by citizens of this country it will result in the loss of approximately $5.00 in exports for every dollar's worth of goods kept out of the United States.
Your colleagues at the Commerce Department could have informed you of this glaring inaccuracy of that assertion on which your statement to the press of the country was based. Last year, for instance, this country sold to Germany only $1.15 of goods for every dollar's worth of goods bought. In 1932, the ratio was $1.18 to $1.00. In 1929, it was $1.19 to $1.00. By what process of arithmetic, reasoning or economics that is converted into a ratio of $5.00 to $1.00 it would be interesting to have explained.
I am sure you appreciate also that a purchaser is one who pays for what he buys, and that the type of customer who buys only with funds borrowed from the seller—which he subsequently refuses to pay—is not valuable to the country from which he buys.
The uniform result of our past experiences in commercial and financial transactions with Germany, ever since the war, has been disastrous to us. When Germany has not defaulted upon its solemn obligations, or repudiated them, we have been paid either in "stage-money" or depreciated currency. Even while we were pouring our billions into the securities of German industries in return for worthless bonds, they have kept that money and given us worthless or depreciated money in return.
Your apparent efforts (if these rumors be true) to force Germany-made machinery, gloves and other goods upon our market, manufactured by workmen whose former standards of living have been destroyed and their wages reduced to considerably less than $1.00 per day—through the annihilation and confiscation of the properties of the Labor Unions at the command of the industrial barons who financed the Hitler regime into power and rule the government, are not likely to succeed.
All the agreements you may choose to make that would strike down all protective tariffs would not overcome the righteous, country-wide "trade-resistance" against German goods. The outraged Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Labor Unions and women cannot be compelled to buy them.
In your statement you characterize this as a "racial or political boycott," which indicates how little you understand the scope of this movement. This boycott is a spontaneous uprising of all civilization—not merely in this country but throughout the world—against the revival of medieval savagery, spreading from South Africa, Egypt, South America, around the globe to Finland. It is, in a sense, analogous to the "economic sanctions" provided for by the Covenant of the League of Nations against countries that violate their agreements. It is the only effective weapon yet devised as a peaceful substitute for war. The "Blue Eagle" that is being used in connection with our NRA is another form of boycott.
It is evident from your public statements that you are also unaware of the extent to which this boycott has stimulated the "Buy American" campaign in this country and in the founding and expansion of industries here that are already successfully manufacturing all kinds of goods that were formerly imported from Germany.
Your views on the refusal of Americans to purchase Nazi goods, as a protest against the persecution by the Third Reich of its helpless minorities, sounds very much like qualified approval of the Hitler-Schacht policy that has thus far resulted in the repudiation by Germany of more than a billions dollars' worth of bonds owned by American investors; has deprived the latter of some $70,000,000 annually due them as interest on their holdings, and has caused a decline in the market value of American – owned German bonds of almost one-third of a billion dollars.
I assume you must be aware that many thousands of Americans are being forced to forego the payment of interest rightfully owing them on their German bonds, whilst Germany, pleading poverty as the reason for her default, has at the same time been vastly increasing her purchases of war supplies in this and other countries, and has employed her funds that should have been devoted to the payment of interest on her debts, toward the repurchase of her dollar-bonds from us at greatly depreciated prices.
The contention of Dr. Schacht, which you seem to accept at its face value, that Germany's inability to meet payments on her legally contracted debts has been caused by the boycott of German goods, is as baseless and fantastic as other theories propounded by the leader of the Third Reich. The German National Socialist Party proclaimed its policy of repudiation by a special law—long before the boycott. Ours is a purely defensive boycott, as a small measure of protection and reprisal against the murder, torture and persecution to which Germany has subjected its innocent minorities—solely because of their race—and against its policy of religious fanaticism directed against Catholics and Jews.
As indicating that there has been no let-up in this policy of persecution, this morning's cables from Berlin, reprint an official order signed by Dr. Seiler, Nazi President of the Duesseldorf Medical Association, published in the "Reichwart," directing physicians to boycott the entire medical staff of the Duesseldorf Hospital for having failed to vote in favor of Hitler as Reichsfuehrer in the plebiscite of August 19th. That, among thousands of other incidents, illustrates this "free plebiscite" and the secrecy of the election.
While European creditors have been protected by the energetic action of their governments, our Government has confined its activities on behalf of the American public holding defaulted German bonds to the dispatching of eloquent notes which the Hitler-Schacht combine has uniformly dealt with in a manner reminiscent of the treatment which Bethmann-Hollweg accorded the Treaty guaranteeing Belgium's neutrality some two decades ago.
In connection with your apprehension that our sales to Germany may be diminished by the boycott (as I note with satisfaction that they have been and are being affected, though not yet quite to the extent of the decrease in other countries), our total normal exports to the Reich have in the past aggregated less than six and one-half per cent of the total American shipments abroad. Their complete elimination, which you seem to dread as the eventual result of the boycott (unless the rising tide is stemmed by official announcements of our Secretary of State), would not affect our foreign commerce to any material extent.
Furthermore, inasmuch as Germany's purchases in the United States have in the past almost invariably been paid out of the proceeds of loans and credits obtained in this country that are now being repudiated— would we not have been better off if we had kept our goods?
Are you not aware of the extent to which our protective laws are being evaded, our customs swindled and our manufacturers betrayed by the ruse of the camouflaged "blocked" marks?
Is it possible that in your public discussion of the economic theories underlying boycotts, based as they are upon false premises, you have in mind diverting the attention of the tens of thousands of victimized Americans who hold German defaulted bonds and are vainly waiting for the protection of our Government?
Considering the ethics and wisdom of making another agreement with a country that holds the record for broken and repudiated agreements, we ask you also to take into consideration the evidence and disclosures already accumulated by the McCormack Congressional Committee of the country-wide seditious propaganda, sowing the seeds of race and religious hatred, and of the many millions of dollars that are being squandered here in that dastardly undertaking by a country that refuses to pay its obligations to us. The conspiracy against our peace and security, on account of which the attaches of the German Embassy were expelled prior to the severance of diplomatic relations before the war, is not a circumstance compared with what is now transpiring.
I respectfully insist that, judged by past experiences of our dealings with Germany, which have cost us literally billions of dollars, the less goods we sell that country and the less business we do with it, the better off we will be.
Very truly yours,
Nonsectarian Anti-Nazi League
To Champion Human Rights,
Samuel, Untermyer,

Today Kate and William attended the wedding of Prince William's cousin Emily McCorquodale.
The bride is Princess Diana's niece, the daughter of Diana's older sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale. She was a guest at William and Kate's wedding last year, and has overcome challenges in her young life, more from a Telegraph article upon the occasion of her engagement:
Emily, 28…has accepted a marriage proposal from James Hutt, who helped her overcome her illness.
Emily, who is close to her cousins the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry, was discovered to be suffering from plasmacytoma, a form of cancer which usually affects the elderly, after she fell ill in 2003.
She was given radiotherapy treatment at Nottingham Hospital for several tumours close to her spine.
Kate chose familiar pieces for the wedding,our thanks to royal photographer Mark Stewart for alerting us to what the Duchess wore for the function.
Many readers will recognize most (if not all) items. Kate was in Katherine Hooker's raw silk Buxton Coat in a dove gray, officially referred to as 'ash,' previously seen for last June's Order of the Garter.
It is an exquisite garment, available in a variety of linens or silks.
Kate's Jenny Packham frock was previously worn during the couple's North American tour, seen at the polo match in Santa Barbara last July.
Our original post on this event is here.
Kate wore her hair in a partial updo and accessorized with the Whiteley hat worn to last year's Epsom Derby.
Here you have a better look at the chapeau, it is Whiteley style #434/318 in Cappuccino Parisisal with curled Parisisal trim. (Our original post on the hat is here.)
The earrings are a pair we have seen on numerous occasions, this was pointed out to us by Anna of My Small Obsessions, as well as Ayvee of Diana's Jewels. After seeing them on Kate again at the National Service of Thanksgiving last week several WKW Facebook friends starting hunting for the jeweler responsible for the earrings.
Fortunately for everyone, Michele C messaged Anna with a pair she thought were the perfect match and Anna went to work getting confirmation the correct pair had been found. They were indeed, from a company called Heavenly Necklaces.
Made of cubic zirconias and reconstituted freshwater pearls, the earrings are only £48, roughly $75 USD at today's exchange rates. It will come as no surprise the earrings are currently sold out but those interested in purchasing a pair may sign up to be notified when more become available. Our thanks to Michele and Anna for the hard work identifying these so quickly last week!
We saw the LK Bennett Sledge pumps once again, as well as the Hobbs bag Kate carried in Canada.
That is the 'Somerton Clutch' in silver, it was paired with Kate's Catherine Walker dress, our original post is here.
More on today's ceremony from the Daily Mail:
A protective Duke of Cambridge kept one hand on his elegant wife's back as they chatted with fellow guests on his cousin's big day.
There was good news for all of the Royals this morning, Prince Philip was released from the hospital today, just in time for his 91st birthday. More from the Telegraph:
Prince Philip emerged from the King Edward VII Hospital in central London on Saturday morning in good spirits after spending five nights there being treated with antibiotics.
As he left, the Prince waved to well-wishers, shook hands with staff at the hospital and thanked them for their care. When asked if he was feeling better, he nodded and quipped: "I wouldn't be coming out otherwise.â€
53 Responses to "Kate Recycles for Emily McCorquodale Wedding"
I agree with the comments made here about the outfit being a nice mix of formerly worn items. Love that she finds fresh ways to combine clothing and accessories-as I think most of us do. I think she looks lovely and the outfit is entirely appropriate for a June wedding in England.
The first time I saw this outfit I was so-so about it but after looking at it again I actually love it. I think if I hadn't seen the first outfit with this silvery dress jacket I would have been on board from the beginning.
Anyways, I love the used of blue/silver with brown accents. I think as an art history major and accessories buyer she has a great eye for colors, coordinates, and details!
(Whenever comparing Kate to other women around her at any event- she always looks more elegant and better dressed, even if her clothes aren't necessarily more expensive. She knows what she looks good in and she's confident, both of which go a long way!)
I agree with most of the comments- i totally dont see the connection between any of these peices whatsoever. I DO love that she recycles, and if her goal was not to outshine the bride and groom i do think thats really sweet. However, she is so stunning and has such a great figure- its rare that i think something doesnt look awesome on her- this is probably the first time, she has plenty of outfits that could have been recycled and i could think of 100 different combinations that would have looked better than this. (that gorgeous white coat she wore to last years troop the color come to mind!!!) Having said that- she looks beautiful either way!
Totally agree with you—as much as I love Kate, and most of her outfits, this doesn't work for me. Dress seems too long for coat, and not cut well for "layering". Also, loved the hat the first time she wore it, but it doesn't work for me with the grey coat. Let me say that I love her LK Bennett nude sledge shoes, and do not get the recent criticism of them at all. I think they look great with almost everything. Furthermore, we all have a pair of shoes in our closets that are our "go to" pair. I would have loved to have seen the outfit from trooping, or perhaps the exact same ensemble as when she wore this coat the first time at Garter day. As you say, she is a beautiful lady no matter what she wears, and I respect that she was trying to not outshine the bride on her special day.
I really loved how she pulled this outfit together. She is ever mindful that people are watching and she has done perfectly to shop her closet, same as anyone else would, for a friend's wedding. I like how she buys pieces that we think of as one-time wears but she always has a plan for recycle. I was so happy to see the Jenny Packham dress again in a more formal occasion, and I liked that it wasn't perfectly matchy matchy. Love it.
There are slight differences between Kate's earrings and the "replikate" ones. The pearl is bigger and/or the little cap on the pearl is smaller. The way the cubic zirconia is attached looks different/more noticeable than Kate's. I'm begining to wonder if Kate's earrings are on loan from the Queen because Princess Sophie has the same pair! I have also noticed that the website that the "replikate" earrings are sold from also has a lot of other "replikate" jewelry as well (her "Diamonds by the Yard" bracelet, the KiKi McDonough white topaz and diamond stud earrings, the earrings from the Jubilee concert, etc.). I think that the jewelry artist is copying Kate's jewelry and is claiming that Kate bought "(his/her) earrings".
A link to the pictures, you have to scroll down the page a bit:
***I know that the person who runs this website has stated that Kate's earrings are the "replikates", but I'm not convinced!***
I totally enjoy it when Kate dresses like a sensible person for a personal social event. All of us, no matter what our personal wealth, would naturally mix and match good selections as a matter of course.
Or we SHOULD be doing so.
If Kate were attending the Oscars, a Royal function, or the Nobel Prize Award dinner, I could understand some intense critical scrutiny, and I would expect her to lean towards more one-night, "disposable" fashion.
But she is attending a friend's wedding–and she is not supposed to be the star. Bless her. The bride got to be center stage.
Kudos Kate. You look great in those colors (although I must admit you looked far more smashing in red), you didn't upstage the bride, and you didn't spend a zillion needless pounds on non-essentials. Obviously you dress as though your relationships matter more than the opinions of blogs and press.
Am I missing something? Kate's earrings don't look like the ones on that website. Hers do not have a stone on top. They are similar.
I like this outfit (from top to bottom) very much! … very interesting choice!!? ..showing Kate at its most experimental – mixing & matching seemingly odd pieces, all worn previously. I like the unusual combination, its quirkiness, the soft, muted colour palette and subtlety of it all. The lovely cappuccino hat looked more golden on her braided hair – It's so cute!. Both her coat and hand-painted dress are exquisite garments, and go well together. The earrings
Sorry – pressed the "submit" bottom by mistake!! … meant to say The earrings made the whole look Perfect!! (I want to buy a pair of these!)
Kate understated and elegant as usual. I liked the combination of neutral colors, nicely light and summery (even if the weather was not). The hat picked up a bit of the flower colors in the dress, I thought. We know and Kate knows that wherever she goes and whatever she does, pictures of her will appear world wide. However, dressing for a private event is different from dressing for official dos like the Jubilee events. She always looks nice but is under no obligation to set a style trend at a family wedding or other private affair.
PS The mother of the bride is Lady Sarah (the daughter of an Earl), but the bride herself was just Miss McQuorcodale and is now Mrs. Hutt. (Why are we Americans- me, anyway- who are all just plain Mr. or Mrs. (even the President) so fascinated with these complicated British titles?)
I just love how William has not neglected his mother's side of the family. I remember him specifically stopping to speak with them at his wedding and blew a kiss to one of them. I've always wondered whether he had much contact with them after Diana's death. (Similarly, I'm happy that Kate hasn't had to abandon her own family as it seems so many royal brides need to do, due to royal obligations.) Would love to see a picture of the bride and groom.
Regarding Kate's outfit, I didn't even notice the dress is longer until someone else pointed it out. The coat and dress seem to work well together but the color of the hat is a little off if she was trying to match. Otherwise, looks great to me.
There has never been any suggestion that Princes William and Harry were not in touch with their mother's family. They have always been close to their aunt, Lady Sarah Spencer McCorquodale, who was the executor of their mother's will. She, of course, was the mother of the bride here.
Moreover, William and Catherine attended the wedding of Laura Fellowes, daughter of his other maternal aunt, Jane Spencer Fellowes, a couple of years ago. (William and Laura Fellowes were famously child attendants together at the wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.) To that wedding, Catherine wore the now well-known bird-print Issa dress. The Duchess does know the family on that side.
Royal brides have never had to "abandon" their families. If Diana had problems with hers, it was for personal reasons, not because the royals somehow pressured her into not seeing them. The late Queen Mother certainly remained close to HER family members. And Prince William likes the Middletons and likes spending time with them, he has made that abundantly clear. No one would ever try to separate the Duchess from her obviously loved parents and siblings. That would be a recipe for disaster, and they are all quite keen to keep her happy.
.. beautiful braid circlet !
maybe it's because I am a musician that I want to use the analogy of 'striking the right note'- for Kate.
to my eyes, she looks perfectly lovely-
I like that the flowers on the dress are suggested in the flowers on the coat's cuffs and waistband.. I like that the dress peeps out from under the dove grey linen, like a petticoat, but not. I like the colors- especially with the sunlight on them, as in the picture- demure yet fresh. understated, respectful of the occasion, even calming yet happy. and the material and color of the hat remind me of a tie on a Summer bouquet..
but it is when I think of the occasion, and the people involved (the bride an extended family member- recently having "overcome a challenge in her young life") that the 'rightness' of the outfit comes into focus.
the differences between this outfit and the last one Kate was photographed in (the final day of the Jubilee celebrations) speak volumes.. of subtleties.
I see nothing that I do not like !
Thanks for seeing the outfit in a good light — it helps me to take a second look! Agree that she looks lovely despite everything — and also love the braid circlet, like yourself.
But I still find a mis-match between the cuffs and the dress pattern — they don't quite tally for me. Evidently it's just not my day…
I can't help feeling this is a so-so outfit — it doesn't quite make it for me — I find the dress too full altogether under the slim fit coat and the effect is bunched and cramped, quite apart from being longer than the coat.
I like the recylcing for diplomacy's sake, but do sometimes wonder if too much understatement comes across as a bit untactful, especially for a wedding. I don't recall an entire outfit of repeats before, even down to zircona earrings.
I like the hat but am suprised at this one being re-used in that Kate usually at least manages a new chapeau for a wedding. I think the hat looks better here than last time on that pretty hairstyle.
How can wearing something to a wedding that you've worn before in any way considered a "untactful"? I bet that the bride and groom and all the wedding guests felt honored by the future king and queen's mere presence and wouldn't care or even realize it if the outfit Kate wore was brand new or five year's old.
The young woman being married is not a royal nor even a close relative like Kate's sister. The bride is Kate's husband's first cousin on his late mother's side. Kate most likely barely knows the bride, and almost certainly isn't a friend.
Given all the public events Kate is required to have new dresses for and the private functions she is also obligated to attend, having Kate repeat an outfit to attend this wedding was completely appropriate and sensible. Even for a woman of Kate's position and wealth, there are limits to how much she can buy or spend.
If your husband's first cousin whom you briefly met once or twice were getting married, would run out and spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a dress? Or would you reach for something appropriate already hanging in your closet.
The bride is a close cousin of William – She and her mother (Sarah McCorquodale) know Kate very well and are good friends – They sat with Kate at the ceremony when William was awarded his wings as RAF helicopter pilot 2 years ago
I like the dress with the coat, and the hat is ok but the right shade of green, blue or even black with shoes to match might have struck a sharper note.
A hem which droops below the coat is tacky, sloppy and unnecessary.
I could fall asleep looking at this outfit. Boring. Not inspiring…
She didn't wear the Jenny Packham dress, She wore the champagne lace McQueen dress (from last post). Of you look closely at the photo where she is in the car (next to the earring-photo), you will se she not wearing Jenny Packham. Btw love her outfit:)
That's a photo from the day of the Jubilee church service. Notice that she's wearing a different hat, a veiled hat that she wore to the service. To the wedding, she clearly wore the Packham dress.
I think that picture is from the jubilee church service earlier in the week. It was just shown so we could see that the earrings are the same.
I agree that the pieces don't go well together. Dress and coat passable, but hat colour and style doesn't really match in my opinion.
After posting my response about loving the outfit, then reading negative comments here, I googled for different pictures to get a different perspective. Having done so I have just affirmed that I do really like the outfit, despite it not being a perfect match head to toe. See here and reconsider the hat. http://www.justjared.com/photo-gallery/2672582/william-kate-wedding-03/
Adore the coat and dress separately and the hat with the Derby suit, but this combination is not a good one. The hat is too sporty for the outfit, the beige shoes don't match and the dress is way too long for the coat. It's great to recycle, try to look act "normal" and not outshine a bride with something new, but not to the extent of mismatched hems. Sloppy on anyone, even Kate.
I think they are absolutely the same earrings. Probably the company is taking advantage of the similarity. The diamond in kate's earrings are embedded, not badly glued and union with the pearl has another form. Here there are good photos
I agree with other commentors–individually ver y nice pieces but a bit of a mash up all together, particularly the grey coat with a dark taupe hat. When there is no real colour as a unifying element, too many neutrals together just look bit haphazard. but this is a private function, where she is being respectful of the bride, so not brining her "A" game is excusable, especially after all the treats she gave us over the last week. if there is a picture aroundofmthe happy couple (the bride and groom, not Will and Kate!)I would love to see it.
.. a photo of the happy couple of the day:
and cheers to all for the friendly comments! (-:
she looks lovely. I love her outfit. but does anyone have a photo of the bride? it was her day.
As long as she 'recycles' her clothes, I'm content. She should wear subdued colors like grey or beige when it's imperative not to outshine the star of the event, like a bride or the Queen.
The outfit, once again, is more befitting of an older lady. Some complained that the hat doesn't go with the rest of the outfit. But if it did, some people would say it's too "matchy-matchy". Verdict: She looks just fine.
If this outfit is for an older lady, sign me up!! I'm signigicantly older than Kate and love 98% of what she wears. The other 2% tends to be something that just doesn't appeal to me but that doesn't make it inappropriate. And recycling an outfit is not tacky just because its being worn to a wedding. Just about everyone has to rewear things whether it be to a wedding or some other event.
"I'm signigicantly older than Kate and love 98% of what she wears." You just proved my point. Thank you.
I never said that recycling is tacky. So I don't know why you mentioned that in your response to my comment.
A post earlier said it was "untactful". I was simply responding to a couple of posts at the same time and happened to post it as a reply to yours. Sorry if it was confusing.
Meant to add this…
Although I'm significantly older than Kate and love 98% of what she wears…I can't because it is too young for me….not that I would wear it at the age I am now. If that proves your point, so be it.
I'm a decade younger than Kate and I love 90% of what she has worn. I don't get the matronly comment about her outfits
To me it almost sounds like the sophisticated Kate has done on purpose to be "not so…put together" when she attends others weddings. The red lace dress, the blue Erdem lace with the belt and this outfit…they aren't as perfect as those at her own events. Coincidence? or just she was being considerate not to outshine the brides?
I thought the same thing!
I didn't think of it that way before! Hmm, that's a very interesting theory – recycle outfits and make sure they look ever so slightly off for an event when she's in the background (like at a wedding), then pull out all the stops when the focus is on her (like the pre-Olympics event). Heh. I think I like her a little bit more for this.
Well, there's the Packham dress I thought she might recycle for the garden party, but I don't think much of this combination of items. Somehow, the coat doesn't really work with the dress, in my view, partly because of length and general design, and partly I feel the different fabric textures clash a bit. Moreover, the dress and coat fall into the gray/silver family, while the taupe hat and nude pumps belong to the beige family.
I do like the earrings, and I loved the hat the first time I saw it; I still do.
In any case, this outfit just says "Miss" to me, though perhaps after spending a vast amount of money on two knockout McQueen dresses for the Jubilee events, she was anxious to look a little less riveting and high-fashionable and a little more frugal and "let's-make-do-with-what-we've-got".
Incidentally, we never really saw what she wore under that gray coat for the Garter ceremony; and I know she has pale gray shoes. I wonder why she couldn't just wear that first dress and the gray shoes and perhaps buy a new gray hat to freshen the look a little?
Or maybe keep the hat, dress, and shoes, but purchase a new coat? I know it would be the more expensive option, but my penchant for coats is on level with your addiction to hats. I would *love* to see a new coat.
I love that all pieces of this outfit are things Kate has worn previously. These 2 seem to really try to be 'normal' by doing things like going to the cinema (the other night) and wearing clothes that have been seen, because that's what all of us do; we wear clothes over and over again.
Plus, she may just be trying to not upstage the bride by wearing something new, because the media and maybe even the guests, would be all about that new outfit and not about the newlyweds.
I don't think it a faux pas because the lengths are so similar. Princess Mary did something similar, but with a coat with short sleeves, when Charles & Camilla visited Denmark.
So glad to hear Prince Philip will get to celebrate his birthday at home with the Queen. Happy 91st!
Sounds like Kate and William's friends keep getting married. Is this fourth wedding she has been to since she got married herself? LOL just kidding.
This is a family normal wedding, the bride is a close cousin of William … It's a private occasion, much less formal (like a village wedding) – I think Kate's simple outfit reflects that.
Nice outfit and smart decision. I like seeing Kate remixing her clothes.
I'm not sure about these three pieces paired together (hat, coat, dress). There is something that just feels slightly unfinished and thrown together about the whole look. One commenter on the WKW Facebook page pointed out that the dress is slightly longer than the coat, a faux pas (albeit a mild one) that the Duchess usually avoids.
Of course, maybe I just feel this way because of the string of perfectly-coordinated outfits she pulled out for the Jubilee events. I'm interested to hear what others think.
I agree completely. Separately, I love all of these items, but I think they don't work so well together. Aside from the dress being longer than the coat, I think that since the dress is a bit loose-fitting, when squished under the coat it makes Kate look a bit bulky. I don't think the hat is the best match color-wise, either.
Question from the warm USA: why is Kate wearing a coat in June? Is it really that cold in the UK? Or is that more of an etiquette thing?
We are sharing similar weather as in UK currently here in northwest. Wearing a light weight coat is totally necessary; in fact I did myself yesterday. However, I am not sure of the etiquette thing.
Unfortunately it is pretty cold here at the moment! If getting married in a church it is certainly good etiquette to wear a smart jacket or dress coat (like Kate's) to the church service.
While I believe UK has been unseasonally cool since summer officially started a week or so ago, many English churches are built of stone and are notoriously cold inside… So apart from it being good etiquette to wear a smart jacket or dress coat (and hat) to church, Kate is dressed most sensibly for the venue IMHO
It's not been cool, it's been cold and bone-penetratingly damp! We've put the heating on. In June!!!
I'm surprised the guests weren't wearing winter clothes.

Jewish literature is the true Jewish museum. For nowhere does the Jewish spirit express itself so thoroughly, in all its multifarious character and its historic transformation as in literature. There are nations that have found their classic expression in art or politics or science. There are nations and epochs in which all spiritual activities combined and found expression simultaneously. There was Greek antiquity, and the Italian Renaissance. The classic symbol of the Jews, in all times and in all countries, is religion. It is from the Jewish religion that the stream flows and expresses itself in Jewish writings up to our day. No community of people has found its spiritual expression in writing so much.
If anti-Semitism combats the Jewish spirit, openly or under a mask, honestly or with malice, it knows neither the historic forces nor the transformations of this spirit. It paints a terrifying picture of qualities which are for the most part either not Jewish, or have been torn out of their contexts and so have very little relation to reality. Above all, they fasten on the inward contradictions, which are explicable only if they are viewed historically. They forget the great span, from East to West, which gives the Jewish spirit both the appearance of cool and clear rationalism, and of mystical, metaphysical searching. Even in the narrow field of religious writing, these two aspects always manifest themselves—the Talmudic art of exposition and the spiritual passionate yearning for God, such as found its most recent expression in Chassidism.
If we consider Jewish literature, from Biblical times till the present day, we find that with all the changes of motives and forms, the religious basis is always there as a living force, in the same way as the span between East and West, between emotion and reason. Even in the great rational thinkers the soul is the real motive force of their thought. The Jewish writer never gives himself up entirely to the outward world, he never denies the inward soul, he never represents the purely Occidental type whose aim is action alone, without relationship to the inward life. The Jewish spirit demands much more, and in this respect it has always remained Oriental. It has always insisted that outward pleasures and successes must be subordinate to the inward life.
It is true that Jewish religion and the Jewish spirit are not ascetic, and unlike Christianity do not negate life, But life is to be sanctified, ennobled, spiritualized, turned inward. In this point all the centuries of Jewish life and all the tendencies of Jewish life are at one. Judaism says yes to life, but it does not seize hold of life as something given to be enjoyed, but rather as a task to which to rise. The task embraces everything that we are and can be. It embraces our soul, our spirit, the deeds of our hands, our whole life.
The reality to which this Jewish thought holds fast is Jewish life in the real sense. As Jews live together and for each other, as their religion is their communal life, so the thought of the Jews from the beginning to the present day seeks to realize the Jewish life, to sanctify, to consecrate, to understand and to penetrate it. There is an almost unknown passage in Nietzsche's work, "The Will to Power," which speaks of this characteristic of the Jews. Nietzsche is dealing with the Jewish family of the Diaspora "with its warmth and tenderness, with its readiness to help, unknown and perhaps never understood in the whole of the Roman Empire. They help each other, unostentatiously, clothed in the humble pride of the Chosen, feeling no envy of the things that lie on the surface, power and glory."
And Nietzsche says also that thus it came about that the principle of love emerged out of the small Jewish community. "It is a more passionate soul that glows here under the ashes of humility and poverty. This was neither Greek, nor Indian, nor even Germanic. The song in praise of love which Paul composed is not Christian, but a Jewish burst of the eternal flame that is Semitic."
This song has constantly been written anew in the Jewish writings. The language has changed; it changes not only according to the nations among whom the Jews live, but it changes also in spiritual character, no matter whether it is philosophical teaching, or hymnal song, research, the reformation of the religion, or a message. Always the Jewish writer speaks to his own community, and with that passionate soul that affirms life, but at the same time seeks to raise the level of life, of love, of mutual help, of the spirit. If the Jew steps outside the circle of these Jewish ties, he is generally a heretic who strives to speak to the whole world and save it from egoism and lethargy, by the proclamation of new verities, which proceed however from his Jewish soul. That is what Jesus and Paul did, and Spinoza too.
It is possible nowadays to dig down into this immense richness of Jewish writings and to recognize this unity in multifariousness.
Only the other day, the Schocken Verlag in Berlin issued the first volume of a work intended to give in the German language the classic examples of Jewish thought. The first volume contains selections from the Talmud and the Midrash, passages from Josephus, Chassidic legends, extracts from Rabbinic literature, folk songs, and the like. The work does not claim to be systematic and exhaustive; it is not intended for the scholar, but for the average reader.
The real aim is to show Jewish life, Jewish spiritual reality through Jewish literature. It is not an attempt to teach Jewish literary history, or theology, or ethics, but to acquaint the reader with the peculiar, spiritual, religious force of Jewish past and present, as they have found expression in Jewish writings.
"Between God and Man" is the title heading the selections from Talmud and Midrash. It might be the title of the book as a whole, of all Jewish writings. For all these thinkers and poets are filled with a passion, devoted in the same breath to their community and its life, and to ethical ideals. The short admonitory stories all revolve round the justice of God and of people, and the poetry is that of communal life, and of the love of God and His people. When this passion rises into prayer and piety, or, as among the Chassidim, to stormy yearning for the Messiah and mystic unity, it is through all centuries and all lands the same Jewish soul.
There is danger in literature when it threatens to cut adrift from life, but there is no real danger of this in Jewish literature. For even Talmudic theology, which knows no other world but that of the Bible, does not entirely turn away from life, since the teachings of the Torah always relate to life. Thus the apparently sterile and world-renouncing Talmudistic erudition too serves life. That is the inmost meaning of all Rabbinic prayer. The Rabbis pray that teaching may sanctify life.

Darkness Falls
Daylight Savings Time ends at 2 a.m. this Sunday, Nov. 3, meaning it's time to change clocks and the batteries in smoke detectors. While some may be excited that the "fall back" will give them an extra hour of sleep that day, the afternoon will be cut quite short – weather forecasts call for the sun to set at 5:22 p.m. that day.

Bhandarkar's next flick will be Madamji for which the director is more than convinced to fit Priyanka Chopra in for the lead role. The film-maker also said that he always wanted to work with Priyanka after Fashion which he could not due to lack of any 'great subject'.
"Priyanka and I have been discussing the script and she is very excited about the subject of Madamji. In fact, after Fashion I always wanted to work together with Priyanka but unfortunately we never came across a great subject," said the director. It is to mention, Priyanka grabbed the award of best actress after her super performance in Fashion, while her latest hit was Gunday.
Bhandarkar also added that the director and the actress have been planning the dates for the upcoming movie and if everything goes by plan, Bhandarkar is full certain to make the film with Priyanka. PeeCee is currently busy in shooting for her soon to come movie Mary Kom Biopic in which she will play the role of the female boxer from Northeast Mary Kom.
The upcoming movie Madamji happens to be another film with women character in the lead and will reportedly be based on an item girl who turns politician. Well, the Gunday diva with some splendid performances and hit movies in recent time has got all that needs to make film directors chase her.

After a promising weekend turnout of workers at its platinum mines, Lonmin expressed hopes more will clock in on Monday as talks resume after violence that claimed 44 lives.
Lonmin said it expects the bulk of its 28 000 workers to report for duty while it tries to work out a deal with the 3 000 rock drill operators who launched a wildcat strike more than two weeks ago.
The world's number three platinum producer said 57 percent of workers had reported for duty on Saturday at one of its two sets of shafts.
"We are quite upbeat. We are hopeful we will get more workers tomorrow," said spokeswoman Sue Vey.
The government and religious leaders have been mediating in talks between unions and Lonmin management.
Operations at Lonmin mines have ground to a halt since August 10 when the rock drill operators started a vigil on a hill, demanding a 300-percent pay rise.
The strike degenerated into violent clashes between workers of rival unions, leading to the deaths of 10 people, including two policemen.
Police then brutally put down the protest, shooting dead 34 strikers, the nation's deadliest police action since apartheid.
An official mourning period for those killed declared by President Jacob Zuma drew to an end at the weekend.
Zuma thanked the country for responding "with dignity, calm and fortitude in the midst of pain, shock and disappointment" at the Marikana mine killings.
"The tragedies must unite us all behind a resolve to end violence of all forms in our society," he said in a statement on Sunday.
Production at the mines has not yet resumed, with Lonmin saying mining operations would restart once it has secured "sufficient numbers" of workers and safety has been ensured.
"No production is happening. Yesterday's shift was all about making the place safe, cleaning and briefings," she said.
The company will likely try to meet its annual production target of 750 000 ounces.
Lonmin spent the weekend persuading the workers to return to the job.
Religious leaders said a fresh round of talks was lined up for Monday.
"They had agreed that on Monday they will resume talks on wages, but management raised the issue of peace and an environment conducive to work," Bishop Jo Seoka of the South African Council of Churches said.
On Wednesday talks mediated by the government and involving the two feuding unions - the main National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and its breakaway, the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) - are set to re-open.
Eric Gcilitshana, NUM's health and safety secretary, who is involved in the talks, said all unions including the AMCU had agreed to be part of the discussions on an accord.
He also expected that more workers would show up on Monday, taking a cue from mates who have gone to work and returned home unharmed by the strikers.
Workers are demanding a wage increase to R12 500 a month, claiming they currently earn only R4 000.
Once that demand is granted, "maybe Tuesday we will go back" to work, one of the workers' representatives in the talks facilitated by the church, Kunene Msindiseni, said by phone from Marikana.
Lonmin says that, when bonuses and other allowances are included, the rock drill operators earn an average of R9 813 rand before taxes.
Meantime, the 260 workers arrested following the police crackdown at Lonmin's Marikana mine are due to appear in court on Monday facing a litany of charges ranging from murder to public violence.
The accused come from across southern Africa, lured to South Africa by the prospect of work in the country's rich mines, home to more than 80 percent of the world's platinum deposits.
During their initial appearance last week, proceedings had to be translated into five languages. - Sapa-AFP
