I’ve never been a fan of all that fancy crap, so Ascot just looks like a fun party with women playing dress-up to me-nothing dirty going on-and who is to say what is “proper” for anyone but themselves?
I just always wonder why Brit women have such a thing for hideous hats-some of their headgear looks like they stole it from an exotic bird ranch or raided a used clothing store...
Being born and bred a SW Texas ranch woman who lives in BFE-stiletto heels/f’me shoes and a fancy dress are only for wearing if you go to a ladeda nightclub, cocktail party or maybe a wedding-there are no nightclubs or cocktail parties out here-and there are a lot of cowboy weddings where boots and jeans are the attire du jour. Last time I dressed up like that was when MrT5 and I used to go to the officers’ club at FSH for dinner and drinks-that was nearly 20 years ago-we lived in a burb then-I do still keep a few fancy outfits just in case I’m invited to something 50 miles away in the nearest real city...
They need some new DNA in their lineage..................
They to cut back on the lagers & the trips to the fish-n-chips shops!
Well, they are, but not in the normal sense.................
Even the British press would seem to specialise in half-truths, fakery and outright lies these days.
Perhaps in man-bites-dog tradition, that same London rag once published this photo in honor of their cherished (and often illustrious) past:
If they all were dressed like this at Ascot it would make Churchill Downs look like a picnic in the park with juleps.
At bars it happens around closing time. At Ascot it happens a little earlier.
