    My mom and I were watching Evita when the news broke. My mom meant to pause the VCR and stopped it instead, so the TV flipped to news of the accident. Weirdest part? My mom decided to pause the movie during the funeral scene. I was seriously confused for about three minutes there.

    My parents were to make a long planned trip to London the first week September of that year. I remember being with the family down the Cape watching the news of Diana's death and my mother saying "I hope that's all over with by the time we get there"

    No royalist, my Mom.

    Diana & I were almost exactly the same age, so I always felt a special kinship with her, as though we'd sort of grown up together. I stayed up all night with my girlfriends watching her wedding on TV, and I stayed up again with my husband watching her funeral on TV. I felt as though I'd seen her in and I wanted to see her out as well. It was so heartbreaking when she died, and it still seems surreal that she's gone. I've always wondered what she would have accomplished, how she would have grown into herself and matured, had she lived through that crazy summer.

    @LucyPevensie: my mom and diana were born the same year, got married the same year, had kids the same year and my mom was worried, in the back of her mind, that they would die the same year. i'm sure many other people felt like they had a personal connection to her even though they never met her. I guess that's what made it more tragic for a lot of people.

    I had an ambivalent attitude to Diana as she was only two years younger than me. We were expected to feel sorry for her when in point of fact she had a highly privileged life and deliberately set her cap at Charles AFTER he had dated and then dumped her older sister Sarah. As an aristocrat she would have been fully aware that aristocratic wives were there only to provide the heir and the spare and then both parties could have lovers as long as they exercised discretion. Rare was the Prince of Wales or King of England who didn’t have countless mistresses. I remember been alarmed and intimidated by the collective madness which seemed to seize the nation when she died. An otherwise sane member of staff solemnly brought in a poster bearing the legend: She was born a lady, she became a princess and died a saint! At first you could not say a word against Diana for genuine fear of being physically attacked and it was such a relief to find likeminded souls after a week or so brave enough to publicly wonder at the unprecedented emotional outburst. A year later, on the first anniversary of her death, the mourning was muted and it is now hardly marked at all. Even after a single year, people were beginning to feel somewhat embarrassed at how overly dramatic the response had been.

    @Penny: It was wonderful weather in London and the Notting Hill Carnival was on so the streets of Kensington and Chelsea were filled with people celebrating that and not mourning the death of Diana.

    Am I the only one who wishes that the artists had drawn these women with superhero costumes on? I think Michelle Obama would look good in a spandex unitard. You could give Sarah Palin the ability to see Alaska all the way from her house!

    Also, I wonder where that HRC image came from, because the cover image on the site is completely different and far more flattering.

    I am probably just imagining things, but Palin looks less like a caricature than the other women, who all seem to have a more "cartoony" look--especially Michelle Obama. Maybe it's 'cause Palin isn't smiling a big, honky grin like Princess Di? I don't know.


    Quasi-educational comicbooks--get off my lawn!! (you can go on other people's lawns; I'm just really not that interested).

    Poor Hilary doesn't look like she can breathe in that cover outfit, particularly in the groin area.


    I think this is pretty cool. Hopefully they'll get a chance to highlight some lesser known females, cause lord knows I've had my fill of Saraj Palin and Caroline Kennedy.

    @Samanthrax: As much as I disagree with Sarah Palin, she should get her due. She's not from a family dynasty like Caroline Kennedy or first connected to political power via marriage like Hillary and Michelle.


    She came out of no where, family in tow, and rose to the highest political office in Alaska. That's something.
