BWOT’s Cool Places You’ll Probably Never See…

Here at BWOT we strive to give you an insider’s look into today’s pop culture. (and by “we” of course I mean “me”) But BWOT is about more than making fun of strangers using only a camera phone and a laptop. We (I) want to open doors to new and exotic places, things you only hear about in movies, shrines and monuments and other must-see places. Which is why I bring you this:

What in the name of Tonya Harding is this, you ask? Hold on to your hats, ladies and gentlemen. This is the glorious Princess Diana shrine at El-JeBowl bowling alley in El Jebel, Colorado.

Note the Scotch-taped newspaper article (from the Aspen Times) about the Princess’ visit to the area in the early 90s. (Granted if it were me, I might’ve sprung for a frame rather than rely on the archival power of some tape from The Dollar Store. But who am I to judge?) Also on display, the shoes and ball the Princess used during her visit, along with what I think is an autographed t-shirt.

It’s easy to make the connection, isn’t it? Princess Diana personified class, elegance, and grace. And what goes better with class than rented shoes and watered down beer? Nothing. Not a damn thing.

You go, Princess Di. You and your bowling mementos will live on in our hearts forever.
