"Diana, A Celebration"

"Diana, A Celebration"  The anticipation of Kate Middleton's dress style is killing me but to ease the pain I recently had the pleasure of going to this exhibit in Kansas City's Union Station. The exhibit chronicles the life and humanitarian work of Diana, Princess of Wales. It showcases Princess Diana's dresses and jewelry of the Spencer family. It will remain on display through June 12 when it heads back to England. I highly recommend attending if you have a chance.
