Title: Ridiculous Hats
Post by: Miss Demeanour on June 19, 2009, 10:55:44 AM
Where has this tradition come from for Ladies Day at the races to wear the most ridiculous over the top and impractical head gear.

It's not funny, stylish or clever  noooo:

It's also not a competition.

In the name of good taste someone ban the wearing of any hat for women that is not 'reasonable' - it is beyond farcical now . The biggest offenders are just attention seeking leeches anyway  evil:

I thought LL had a thing about hats  rubschin:

You could make a helicopter hat, which would be quite impressive, and then fire it up to escape (vertically) from awkward social situations

My pal's wife used to get up and cook that for all of us at about 4 in the morning when we were having a session ~ went down really well but I have never been able to duplicate the flavour. Dunno how they do it but those West Indian wimmin surely could cook.

He's dead now. Diabetes which led to gangrene in his legs. It's a worry  scared2:
