I myself, no fashion maven, gasped when I saw the hats of Eugenie and Beatrice. They brought to mind Cinderella's evil stepsisters, and I laughed at the thought at the time. I felt very sorry for the folks sitting behind them in the Abbey. I did like most of the other hats, though I prefer the ones that sit on the head rather than perching on the forehead - what keeps those things on!?Joannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-32328888668453017062011-05-01T03:33:06.568-04:002011-05-01T03:33:06.568-04:00I had a laugh about the 'single woman' the...I had a laugh about the 'single woman' theory as regards fascinators and hats. Our (Australia) Prime Minister is 50 and single but lives with her male partner - and she wore a fascinator. So your theory is not only correct but doesn't discriminate according to age :)susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17474457671500871145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-12753103338441254722011-04-30T19:09:13.705-04:002011-04-30T19:09:13.705-04:00Goodness, I am enjoying all these hats, too!

Poor Eugenie, to add to the list, I did not like the square neckline on her.<br /><br />Oh well, they are probably fun girls, just as Fergie always seemed fun.

Samantha Cameron looked like she showed up half dressed by not having one. As far as the York girls, I feel sorry for those sitting behind them. How could they see anything? Hopefully they will develop a style over time that does not involve just wearing the most outrageous thing they see. They are pretty girls but a little fashion intervention might be needed.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14019044353220823886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-39788631470946001452011-04-30T11:51:23.496-04:002011-04-30T11:51:23.496-04:00Chickadeeworkshop I LOVE that you use the term &qu...Chickadeeworkshop I LOVE that you use the term "fascinator"!!

Diana's was ridiculous, frou frou ruffles and way too much fabric with no body consciousness to it. She had a lovely figure and it was totally hidden under all that nonsense. Kate's was lovely, but I thought Fergie's was absolute perfection.<br /><br />I do like hats....but these artistic statements that people are adorning themselves with are absurd. I don't mind fascinators, but the placement and proportion of some of them just overpower the beauty of the women wearing them. AND may I see that these young women are too heavily made up. The one in beige looks like she has two black eyes...or is made up for goth costume. With her very fair skin, she looks like a vampire. These young ladies need some good advice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-12713846875519644482011-04-30T09:51:42.624-04:002011-04-30T09:51:42.624-04:00Thank you SO much for the hat photos!

It seems to me that the 5th and 6th in line for the throne warrant a stylist.<br /><br />And I agree 1000% about the loveliness of the Mother of the Bride. Both of the bride's parents have so much dignity and royal bearing, it's no wonder Kate learned from them. I did notice the slit in the back of her outfit and I especially loved her hat.<br /><br />Now, Bunny, I do want your input. When I saw the gown on TV last night, I thought it was a lace overlay. But when I looked at photos this morning, it looks embroidered. It appears that the shoulder lace goes up to, but not over the bodice. What do you think, handwork goddess?<br /><br />I think Kate will be a creditable princess. I get the impression that she is not the fashionista that Diana became, but she seems extremely saavy about using fashion as a tool in her arsenal. I look forward to watching both of them as they go forward.shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070023218199309005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-84327590000833034592011-04-29T13:21:03.052-04:002011-04-29T13:21:03.052-04:00They will look back in 20 years and really wonder ...They will look back in 20 years and really wonder what they could have been thinking!!
