Atrocious hats worn by celebrities. What can I say... people had the nerve to wear these in public?
Starting with Princess Beatrice at the royal wedding.
My wife had some colorful language for it... I was at a loss for words.
Or is there a hidden purpose that I am missing.
Pssst she isn't a celeb ;)
But yes, just like her mother she has appalling taste.
Well, I'm not so sure what's worse... that someone actually had the poor taste or nerve to wear that in puiblic... or that someone created it in the first place.
Looks like a wall ornament that would be stuccoed to a wall of a building.
Wonder if anyone at all thinks it was nice. I think its clear she didn't seek any advice before she got it.
She's dutch, what do you expect, they smoke dope over there
That's the best explanation for that hat I've heard yet.Quote:

Can't stand that hat, but worse is her makeup and her hair. Did she just get out of bed from an all night drink fest, put the hat on, leave her sleep streaked makeup from the night before, and go to the wedding?
She looks like she just crawled out of a hole.
Don't even get me started on the old lady outfit. ;)
She was going for the wealthy zombie with no taste look. I think so anyway.Quote:

Most definitely she wasn't alone with "the stupid thing on your head" look. I just pegged her as the worst offender by my own standards.
Tell me that doesn't look like a wall decoration someone spray painted pastel and nailed to a cap.
I think it would be cute in robin's egg blue.
To me it actually looks like some sort of contraceptive device. But I have a very good imagination. ;)
There was another lady that wore this monstrosity that looked like a vagina with a flower in the middle. Again, I have a great imagination. ;)
Then there was the lady that decided to thwart the Queen and not wear a hat, even though it was specifically stated on the invite that hats must be worn. Tsk, tsk.
Frankly, I didn't see one hat that said to me "OMG! I must have that".
I would have shown up in a baseball cap, and I think I would have been one of the best dressed there. ;)
I do have to add. Kate's dress was gorgeous. It suited her wonderfully, and it was very tasteful. Much better then Diana's dress. :)
I was sooooooooooooooooooo relieved that her dress wasn't the usual strapless thing that has gotten to be so popular. I was so happy to see lace sleeves and a V-neckline. And a short train. Diana's dress and 25-foot train were like something from a Disney cartoon.Quote:

I don't hate the strapless gowns, after all, mine was strapless, but I have to say that Kate's dress was befitting a ceremony for a princess. It was classy, elegant, not too outlandish, very well made. I loved it. Not too many people could have pulled it off. She has the perfect figure for a dress like that.Quote:

And you looked damn good in yours... Better than Kate did, In my opinion.Quote:

I can't believe we're talking dresses. LOL. Anyone have any comments on the shoes? ;)
I'm serious... you looked better. Even if I didn't know you here... having seen both... YOU looked better.
But yeah... dresses are subject to style and fashion trends... at least a little.
Here's the hat that I think looks like a vagina with a flower in the middle. Also, can we say holy blue! She looks like a blue paint can fell on her. There is such a thing as contrast.

This one reminds me of a topiary. It's just horrible. Her face doesn't make it any better. :eek:
Attachment 36124
You're making my head swell. Good thing I don't have to wear one of those hats, it wouldn't fit after all the praise. :)Quote:

Thanks Smoothy. You just gave me a major ego boost. I don't know if I agree that I looked better, but I was younger then Kate. :)
Makes me think of a "Fancy Hat club" where women vie to have the most outrageous hats. And we had many runners up at that event.
Younger than Kate??Quote:

Rod has always loved hats. Not the ones at this wedding, but a nice simple hat on a woman, he loves it. Every once in a while I'll try on hats, and he always begs me to buy one.
Thing is, where would I wear it? I doubt dollarama will allow me to wear one. Driving the kids to school really doesn't require a fancy hat. The only time I could see a hat being useful is while doing gardening, and then it would be a different kind of hat.
Also, I have a fat head. I can't find hats that fit. Okay, to be fair, it's not my head, but my thick hair, but still, they don't fit.
I'll stick to a ponytail. That's about as fancy as this girl gets. :)
When I married.Quote:

I was so trying to be so subtle. I should give up and just love you as you are. (You have warts? Other faults? Plural?)Quote:

Took me a bit to figure out what that meant. Didn't see it the first three or four times.
Cops? There's just one on the force. :DQuote:

Humiliation if you heard my wife's comments about those hats. No humility there... It took a set of brass balls the size of bowling balls to wear some of those in public.Quote:

Whodda thunk?
Personally, I think an outfit isn't complete without underwear, but I'm a bit nutty. ;)
There's this --
Head Covering Through the Centuries
And this --
Hijab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But nothing about underwear.
They are worn to distract from the ugliness of the face. :eek:
LMAO! Considering some of the people that attended, that sounds like the most logical explanation. :pQuote:

Geez, if even I could figure this out - a deeply challenged hats-that-females-wear person, why couldn't the rest of you?
Fascinator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Well athos how brilliant you are, but we mere males are not expected to understand what females are doing, either on their head or on any other part of their body. viva la difference
The right panties and bra can make or break the outfit... but heck... I'm a guy and have a thing for nice lingerie on women.Quote:
