Re: The Hats from Royal Ascot
And its "Royal Ascot" because of the royalty connection......
There is ladies day, where all the women try to out do each other by wearing the best hats. Its quite a spectacle, but I have never been.
I personally prefer the jump season.sigpic260/215/180 Male - 36 y/o
It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!
I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

Re: The Hats from Royal Ascot
Not all the girls under the hats are Royal, though I guess all have serious money.
Mind you, the Queen and the Princess Royal look pretty smart, for ladies of their age.
No comments about the Gentlemen, girls, in their Morning Suits?Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
he said, 'Don't count calories.'

Re: The Hats from Royal Ascot
Some of those hats are pretty funky. I'd imagine that the women don't get an opportunity to wear something that's 2 feet high and full of peacock feathers or fake flowers like that very often. LOL.
The gents look fine in their suits, for sure. Gotta love a well dressed gentleman with an accent ;PFemale

Re: The Hats from Royal Ascot
Great pictures! Funny how it looks like any Sunday morning in the Crenshaw District of Los Angeles, where the Baptist ladies really deck themselves out in their finery!
I absolutely love a man who can wear a hat. Very dignified and all!
