little bitty girl

One of the many fun things on this trip is being able to share with the sisters random ridiculousness found on the web in real time and get the immediate reaction in person. We were just browsing through the ridiculousness of Ascot Day hats.

I realize that the Ascot has a deep tradition where the fashion is just as important as the racing. But I would be interested to know when it became a trend for odd headgear to be displayed in public.

Perhaps it's a cultural thing that we just don't get. But to refer to some of these debacles as hats is what makes it all the more ridiculous. This particular one made us laugh so hard. It's not just the fact that her "hat" is somewhat silly but her expression of "This old thing? It was just hanging around in my closet" is what really takes the cake...
