Oh My God!.. Yes, spelled out. Who are they trying to kid? Most of that 'Head Gear' is disgusting. Sadly, most of those women look just aweful. Of course, one expects a few unusual hats on 1) Queen Liz-II, 2) Britain's Ascot 3) and in a few, old, traditional, US AME churches.
Especially at Easter or in Spring, the AME hats are a sight to be seen and many of them make their own. The others? They simply buy and instruct the milner to go a bit over the edge. Frankly, the AME hats are much better becasue they are built to last an entire season. The ladiesof the AME group may have but one piss-elegant costume, somplete with hat, but the will wear it for the entire year, while slowly building a new one for next year. If one watches hats, the informal Easter Parade in some Southern cities is far more entertaining than anything that New York can produce! The really interesting hats do not appear at the races, but on Easter Sunday and in places that most folks would probably not be. See the hats, enjoy the food and then race back to the suburbs, you White Trash opportunists!
