I didn’t know that!

In researching Halloween costume ideas from the kind commenters on my earlier post, I was thinking about Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady and all those wild hats and discovered (what many of you must already know) that there is really something called the Royal Ascot races! And they still hold them (since 1711). And the women really do wear outrageous hats. I realize that I’m showing my ignorance, but I had no idea. It’s like Halloween! Seriously, check some of these hats out, people. I’m thrilled and astonished. And tempted to be a Royal Ascot Race attendee for Halloween this year.

FYI, my sister Emily says that the woman pictured in this post is “fired” because her hat looks like a “dessert got stuck in a fan.”
