Only in the Golden State

Yes, the big day is finally here! Roll out the red carpet and get your camera ready because the royal couple will be flying to California today. The world has officially stopped in la la land and nothing is more importante than William and Kate making their debut in the states. (At least according to E! News, People magazine and TMZ - all very credible news sources). And thanks to their up-to-date reporting, Jen and I know exactly what they will be doing in LA and who will be their celebrity companions.

Yes, we admit, we've been tracking their every move through Canada (those cowboy hats were a hit!) and can't wait to read the gossip blogs once they arrive in the US

but one thing seems to keep popping up in our heads as we were reading the deets about their trip is, "Only in California" You'll see where we are going with this, so stick with us:

Only in California would Will and Kate attend a star-studded Gala in honor of the British film industry and be accompanied by Jennifer Lopez and Hubby Marc Anthony. We can't even begin to connect those dots, let alone fathom their conversation during dinner.

Only in California will William participate in a charity polo match, where players have to pony up $100,000 just to play with him. Sounds like an episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, or NYC or was it Orange County?

Only in SoCal are neighbors of the British consul's residence turning down offers from the paps to sit on their lawn. We wonder how much they were offering and would we turn down that kind of money?

Only in the golden state were celebs interviewed by E! asking where they would take the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Kim K said Disneyland and a few others suggested the Hollywood walk of fame. Disneyland, Kim, really?

Only in the great state of Cali (well perhaps it's more of the celebrity gossip world, which is centered in LA) would there be an online poll to vote for William and Kate's new celeb name. This is no joke. Seriously check out the link.

So as a little "Thanks for visiting the U.S. We hope you enjoyed the lovely golden state of California" here is a little token of love from Farewell.






We thought our state cards would be uber- appropriate for the royal couple when they write home about their trip. And as a wee-little side note, we've added the lovely state of Texas into the mix and are taking suggestions for new states. Which states do you think we should roll out next?
