Frivolous Friday: A Nod to Bea's Hat
The Princess and the hat |
Love it or hate it, Bea's fascinator, ahem...'ribbon pillarbox' has been auctioned off for the princely sum of £81k. And for a good cause, Unicef. Who says it isn't inspiring? I mean, really it was the talk of the town, the world over, it moved newspapers, magazines...people couldn't get enough of it! Why, Bea's hat even has it's own facebook page with 144,000 followers, and counting. Aside from the bridesmaid's derriere, which also has its own facebook page, it was the most tweeted topic on the Royal Wedding day. See, a frivolous hat is all you need to set tongues wagging and fingers tapping. Think what you like, the spaghetti-gaga-esque-toliet roll hat has provided funding for Unicef and Children in Crisis. Who's laughing now? Even before the auction, I thought it was fabulous, now I just adore it! How about you?

A/N: It's a very flighty Friday post, our beloved blogger is up to its usual tricks so I'm posting while I can. We have a long weekend here, I am excited. I was meant to be in Stockholm but...um, like, ran out of time to organise le ticket and I don't have a PA...yet, and of course that volcano has erupted once more. *Mutters to self* Anyhow, writing, and relaxing, are in order. Have a fabulous weekend, where ever you are on this beautiful planet.

I thought that the hat had fallen into her face when I first saw it. Then I wondered how it managed to stay there. But at least it went to a good cause...
