Happy Birthday, Princess Diana

Diana, Princess of Wales, would have turned 50 years old this week. I am not going to link to the tacky Newsweek cover that "imagines" what she would look like, complete with Photoshopped (fake) image, and an article surmising that she would have been a Botoxed jetsetter, had she lived.

Instead, I'll offer a few tasteful items you can purchase to celebrate the life that was so full of drama, sacrifice and glamour.

Remembering Princess Diana

It was 10 years ago this week - August 31, 2007 - that Diana, Princess of Wales, was killed in an auto accident in Paris, France. It was one of those "always remember where you were" moments globally. This week there will be memorials galore, including one in London (to which Camilla has recently announced she's changed her mind and won't attend). The mementos are legion, too. I'll deviate from "just t-shirts" for this one, since there are also dolls, DVDs, books, commemorative magazines, tile boxes, and plenty more merchandise that can be had in the name of remembering Princess Diana.

Concert for Diana, Princess of Wales

Did you see the concert for Diana? What a lineup of stars, old, new, good and not so good. I thought Nelly Furtado was great!

Since there was no offficial merchandise associated with the concert, we found this Princess Di t-shirt on Cafepress:



It comes on white shirts, colored shirts, kids shirts, teddy bears, whatever.
