...a "Say Something Hat Day", don't you?
The attendees at today's Royal Ascot Ladies Day agree!
CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."
Some look familiar. I think some of those ladies raided the closets of some drag queens I know.

ReplyDeleteI'll leave now...
Unfortunately it's not quite as Cecil Beaton imagined it these days..! Jx
DeleteThat first one on the left reminds me of The Big Bang - and also a race to fertilise an ovum...
ReplyDeleteThe woman wearing it looks like she'd probably scrag your hair if she heard you say her hat looked like spunk... Jx
DeleteSpring has sprung as proven by the fine creations of haberdashers and milliners.
ReplyDeleteThese days in America the only people wearing fine hats are church ladies.
Hats bit the dust here in the 1960’s sending the once booming millinery industry into a tailspin.

Hats are still an essential over here for women at weddings, and there's nothing quite like the spectacle of African-heritage ladies in their finest headwear attending church on a Sunday - but it's the Racing Season that saves the day for the "fancy hat". Obviously it is rather questionable whether any of them are the product of the British millinery industry. Jx
DeleteWhat Ever happened to Klass !
ReplyDelete"There ain't no ladies now, there's only pigs and whores..."
DeleteNot that I am implying anything about these particular ladies, merely quoting Velma Kelly 😉 Jx
