School of the obvious: Royals wear kooky hats
The Royal Wedding took place April 29, We're now in May, and aside from curiosity about Kate Middleton's sketchy brother and Pippa's love life (I'd switch teams for her), we're through with it. All of it. But Sunday's New York Times ran a story on Princess Beatrice's hat. Austin Considine reflects "Tina Brown compared it to “entwined prawn-colored entrails.” Others described it variously as fallopian tubes, an octopus and a giant pretzel that accidentally became caught in the princess’s hair. A Facebook page titled “Princess Beatrice’s ridiculous Royal Wedding hat” had at least 134,000 fans."
Translation: It's overexposed.We've all written about it and talked about it. There are some interesting points in the article about fascinators -- the fancy system of bobby pins that hold these kooky chapeaus in place. But I think you'll all agree, it's time to let Beatrice's mauve octopus-in-bondage hat peacefully swim back to the sea.
