cheerio to sun visors from the discount racks
I've got hats in my head in this hot* weather.
*hot = not really. A high of 85 F(29.4 C) is forecast today. I've lived in climates where it was 90 F. (32 C) at midnight, so 85 ain't hot except in a climate where it's usually a cool gray 50 (10 C). It's all relative.
So, hats. It's a perfect day for chilled lemonade, pulling the hat boxes from the closet, opening them up and seeing what the ladies at Royal Ascot wear.
This one cracked me up. Is she toting the napkin from high tea with the jolly green giant? Her own tablecloth? A rug perhaps?

If I had to wear one it would be "veiled"....
One can only think that in most instances these women were not really liked by family or friends, otherwise they would no have allowed them out of the house wearing most of those hats ...none of them are even in the "it was a good idea at the time range".
My Mum looks like Queen Elizabeth - must be the German genes!!!!
The same came be said of here. That brought to mind something many years ago, when son was taking ice-skating lessons. The rink was closings and the patrons were busying changing out of their skating boots, back into their street shoes, when it struck me; we, son, wife & I were the only ones speaking English. There was a knot of Hispanics, a knot of Middle easterners, and a knot of Koreans, all chatting away in languages other than English.
Even public transportation has gotten into the multi-cultural act; have spotted several Metro buses recently on the road, with advertising on the outside, in Spanish.
