I heard the answer to this one on Fox News, of all places - the hats are worn at such weird angles to make the obligatory cheek-kissing possible. Apparently one lady didn't get the memo, and her hat angled the wrong way...

In fact, I saw one in the Abbey that looked like an ordinary picture hat, but worn totally perpendicular on one side of the lady's head, with some other stuff across the top of her head.

My least favorite hat, of the ones I was able to see well, as HRH Beatrice's-- I think! The one wearing pink, with the odd ertical sculpture on it. Yeesh. You'd think she'd have noticed it asn't flattering. Or perhaps they didn't give her a 360 mirror. Feathers, I can live with. But that thing was just plain odd. Her blue ister's hat was simply unfortunate; but the pink one was an oddity. == Marjorie Wilser =:=:=:Three Toad Press:=:=:= "Learn to laugh at yourself and you will never lack for amusement." --MW http://3toad.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ -costume mailing list -cost...@mail.indra.com ttp://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
