Theme Park

They arranged this before-hand, right? The wardrobe choices? The whole shindig was a mighty pastel-athon, no doubt filled with giggling and lots and lots of cuddles 'n' hugs for everyone. And isn't it sad that the nice lady is really what's called a "head of state", but we know who's Princess, don't we?

Also, have you ever wondered what a DC theme park would be like? Oh, I know, I know, it already kinda is one, but if, like, Disney opened one in Lincoln, Nebraska or something? And you could have minimum-wage teenagers wearing costumes with disturbingly oversized heads to greet you and pose for photos and it would look a little bit like this:

But, you know, without the chains and prison outfits.

No pastels! I wonder if their pumps are died to match? Mrs. Vike-Freiberga looks like her Correctol is kicking in at a most opportune moment, which is why Condi is smiling so.

Alrighty then! Love it your royal highness...

Has that broad in the pink been sucking on lemons or do her teeth hurt? Just wondering..

and what terrible posture the pastelites have! Are their bones aching for the matching armchairs or something?

Looks like pink suit had too much Latvian goulash before the photo op.
