Plaid Is My Favorite Color

If my daughter ever reads this blog, I hope that she understands that a little teasing is not meant to hurt her feelings but to show her diverseness. (I even make up words too!)

Jennifer said, "Plaid is my favorite color!" We giggled, but knew this to be true. She wears a lot of plaid and I think she does consider it to be a color.

I didn't think that there were other plaid patterns besides red tartan and even then, I believe I am wrong in that description. When I looked up the definition of plaid is says there are several types of plaid; madras, tartan and glen and then those types have subcatagories too.

I am watching "The King's Speech" for like the 1000th time, because I cannot resist a Colin Firth film!

In the film Colin (King George XI) is seen wearing a kilt in the Windsor family plaid, its called Balmoral plaid. Colin looks SO much better in one than Prince Charles EVER would.

The plaid design was first introduced by Queen Victoria's court and first worn by her husband Prince Albert. Today, the royal family still wear the design. Royal designs date back to medieval times and each design is unique and you can tell the name of different families.There is a world registry to find colors, styles and names.
