Paper royalty

It was a rather big moment this week when this little number arrived in the MPR newsroom: The William & Kate paper doll book, expertly displayed here by an MPR employee who would not tell us her name (Click image for larger image).

It’s important to note, however, that underneath their paper clothes — including the “sparking plunging-neckline dress that Kate acquired during a 2007 Paris buying trip” — they are wearing bathing suits, not underwear. Those crazy royals!

The paper doll book was published by Dover Publications. An accompanying press release described it as “America’s #1 publisher of high-quality paper doll books.” Who says America doesn’t make anything, anymore?

In other news, it was revealed today CNN will send 400 150 (updated) staffers to cover the royal wedding.

CNN currently has 50 people covering the disaster in Japan.
