And now for something completely different — 17 Comments

  1. At least in the profile given the last female in silver is nice looking. It would be interesting to see if it looked as nice from other angles (not to mention she is quite pretty too).

  2. Camilla did not disappoint: she look like a medieval herald that was hunting all day, used reinforcements from a the flask a few times and then lost the trumpet somewhere in the woods.

    Englishwomen, on the whole, demonstrated total lack of taste – but they tried hard to compensate with sense of humor…not always successful.

  3. Awful to see how badly Prince Phillip looks. Although it comes to all of us.

    Anyone who is alive at 89 is doing pretty well.

  4. “The hat has mostly disappeared, except for the ubiquitous baseball cap, sometimes word backwards, and the balaclava for ski outings and other bitterly cold days. ”

    sorta, but not exactly. Still see cowboy hats in the rural areas (and urban bars), but many of the redneck/cowpoke types wear baseball caps now too.

    Last week, (or was it week before last?), my full brimmed hat that i have had since about 92 or 93 finally died. It was windy, and I went to pull it down and it ripped where the brim hits the part that goes over your head. Well, broke in-very deformed-got wet a number of times. Was white at one point, but had brown stains from staining a privacy fence, chicken blood from trying to catch a chicken that was bleeding(he got in a fight with another bird-so they had to be separated-they can be quite territorial), and just stains from overall use .

    I got another one -but i miss the old broke in one.

  5. I always wear a fedora. It is practical, as it keeps both the sun and rain off, and rakish, thus stylish – or as stylish as I can possibly be at my age. The only real drawback is that it goes airborne in a good wind and that whole “stylish” thing goes down the tubes when I find myself chasing my hat across fields, roads, creeks, and into the nearest woods. It’s hard to maintain one’s dignity when chasing one’s hat down the street.

  6. The balaklava is today used primarily by people committing violent acts desirous of anonymity.

    The headgear displayed brings to mind, “vulgar”. On European heads, of course.
