Now with even more hats!

Just a few more...

Love the colors!

Feathery, I repeat, feathery!

Awesome feather job.

Poor Princess Beatrice. Doesn't she have anyone around her who cares enough to tell there that this just looks plain silly?

Love this whole outfit.

Here's a lady who wants to make a statement.

I want my hat and purse back now!

Marshmallows!

Quoth the hat...

A lot of Thneeds could be made from this hat.

Now we're talking fun hats!

Let the fun begin!

These gals look sweet.

Is this even a hat?

Heh heh, Conehead!

Pretty and convenient when gardening.

Wicked!

This one is fun and it has my initials so of course I love it.

This hat is just ducky!

I really like the pink hat.

This hat isn't too funky but it is really pretty.

Fun.

Well themed.

I like it, this is kooky fun.

This one looks inspired by Tim Burton. Jack Skellington should be walking along the top.

Meh, nice enough.

A very chic propeller head.

Fuschia feathers? You know I really want this one!

Very pretty!

Here's a nice spring explosion.

A bit Barbie-ish but pretty.

Hmm, um, feathery!

Really feathery!

Um, yeah.

I could find some place to wear this I'm sure. So cute!

Where's the White King? (Fusies may get that one)

I'm thinking next year I should throw an Ascot Party. That would be a hoot!

Time for fabulous hats

Ascot 2009 is here and with it some wonderfully fun hats. These are just the first I've come across (as you will see, I've 'borrowed' these pics from the awesome Getty Images), I'm sure there will be more to follow.

Definitely the most insteresting hat so far.

Not sure if this is a hat or just a flamboyant comb.

Princess Eugenie

I like Camilla's hat, not out there but really lovely.

Blog neglect

Yes, I've been shamefully neglecting this site. Again, I can only blame it on Facebook. I'll get some pics up soon and try to remember to pay more attention to my second favorite child (Facebook being the favorite child at the moment).

Here's a quick bit of girlieness (girlyness?)

I'm not sure what it is but I'm really liking outfit. I don't know who this is but I bet she had a lot of fun wearing it.

Fringe fun

A quick giggle for some folks on the Fringe Division of the Fuse.

R.I.P. Bea Arthur

Bea Arthur has passed away at the age of 86. Sad! I loved Maude when I was kid. God'll get you for that Walter!

From the Monterey County Herald...

Arthur died peacefully at her Los Angeles home with her family at her side, family spokesman Dan Watt said. She had cancer, Watt said, declining to give further details.

You will be missed!

Bah ha ha!

They had armadillos in their trousers!

Went to see Unwigged and Unplugged last night! This is a performance by Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer, the guys who formed the band Spinal Tap. It was awesome!

Saw them at the Paramount, a good sized venue but you still get a good view of the stage. We had front row balconey seats so that was cool.

They played an all accoustic set of all their songs which included songs from Spinal Tap but also songs from the movie A Mighty Wind, a movie about the folk singing genre. They're fabulous! Their harmonies were outstanding and they're excellent musicians.

They played for about a full two hours and were able to take small breaks by occasionally playing videos. They played a clip from Spinal Tap's first ever video that appeared on a show called The Tv Show in 1977 and a funny psuedo-documentary about cheese which featured Ed Begley Jr and a wee Jake Gyllenhall.

There was even a little Stonehenge!

Which was trod upon by trolls.

They did one funny bit where they read comments by the network sensors about problem bits the movie Spinal Tap would have when played on network television. Apparently "We have armadillos in our trousers", a bit about a foil wrapped cucumber and the entire song Sex Farm were too much to show the audience at 11:30 at night.

The show was just a lot of fun. And you know they won me over when they thanked the audience for coming out on a Wednesday night and missing Lost to come see them. They suggested we just go to the Orchid and turn the frozen donkey wheel so we can still see the episode. Oh I love them so!

Good times at Church!

Went to Italian Family Dinner night as St. Phillip Neri last night. Love these dinners, ya just never leave hungry. Actually you normally leave feeling miserable because you ate too much and ya gotta love that.

There was the usual antipasto and salad and then we had ravioli in pesto and sliced pork loin with potatoes and veggies. They had ice cream sandwiches and Drumsticks for dessert and who doesn't love a Drumstick? We always get a chuckle out of having the children bring us more wine. Brings back memories of having to bring the adults more booze when I was a kid. (happy sigh)

Chuck and Debbie came with.

Me and mah Honey

(heh heh, it's always fun drinking at church)

We spotted this neat old-timey phone that's probably as old as most of the folks at the dinner. Jim said it worked but was very crackly, like most of the folks as the dinner. (I kid!)

Old school!
