I double-dog dare anyone to say UFO's do not exist after seeing these photos!

[joeybee12]

Pretty gusty ET's, landing their saucers right on people's heads!

[Warren Stupidity]

1. you win, hands down

or up, or at least trying to keep UFO attached to head.

[joeybee12]

I saw some bigger and UFO-style ones on tv, but can't find

photos of them to post.

[rhett o rick]

57. Wait just a sec. The OP is breaking protocol. He cant jump right directly to a double dog dare.

Is there no respect for protocol anymore. Kids today.

[blondeatlast]

2. I love the one on the bottom, actually. The coat/dress, not so much.

I actually like hats and have a couple of antique ones.

[joeybee12]

4. The middle one looks like a trash can lid with a bow on top...nt

[pacalo]

53. :snort:

:rofl:

[blogslut]

3. I adore big-brimmed hats

Those fascinators, not so much.

[joeybee12]

10. The ones I saw that I liked were all non-British royalty...

much more understated.

[livetohike]

5. Thanks for the laugh

:toast:

[joeybee12]

9. I saw one on tv looked like a paper plate affixed to the side of her head...

it really did look like it crashed there.

[JoePhilly]

6. Those hats pick up Satellite TV

[joeybee12]

7. That's it! They just took their dishes from home and topped them with bows!

Great money-saver!

[JoePhilly]

19. Mobile TV, the royals think of everything.

[alfredo]

77. This one will

87. That was my favorite part of the whole comedy. n/t

91. There is a video of a priest doing cartwheels down the aisle.

[GomezLives]

8. I gotta watch the replay of this tonight.

[joeybee12]

15. You can probably wait until June and they'll still be showing it...nt

[provis99]

11. this looks familiar...

[Greybnk48]

12. I LOVE all the hats!! What fun!!

I took your double dog dare...I lost!

[patrice]

27. I really love them too, but my tastes run more in this direction . . .

http://www.etsy.com/shop/yellowfield7?ref=seller_info

Although, unfortunately, NOT my budget.

[BoWanZi]

59. Her hats are pretty (and pricey!) but would they work with long hair?

They look like the old flapper style and work beautifully with short hair but what about woman with long hair?

[patrice]

61. No, I don't think they would, but you may have noticed that didn't stop

some of these ladies at this wedding; there's some wrong hats on long hair.

My hair is short now, but I don't have any use for this kind of hat anymore (sunhats, yes!). I just admire their artistry and craftsmanship.

The internet is full of handmade hats, most of them less expensive than these.

[loudsue]

96. Stupidest. Ad. Ever. An ad for hats that cuts off the picture in the middle of the hat.

Really stoooopid.

[Renew Deal]

13. lol

:rofl:

[Gold Metal Flake]

14. There is a plume of exhaust gas eminating from the black craft.

Perhaps an attempt to confuse and frighten the woman into letting it go. She does seem determined to capture the craft.

[Maven]

97. This made me LOL.

[Sheepshank]

16. I adore the Brits penchant for hats

[GomezLives]

17. They should have invited Whoopi

She wore great hats on Star Trek

[AsahinaKimi]

18. I kinda like these.. actually ..

or this..



or this..



this?



Nice hats though!

[tblue37]

34. Of course, there is this:

[patrice]

55. That's a great hat and she wasn't attending a wedding.

[Cid_B]

60. I like the OP hats better than that one...

At least they could, in theory, keep the sun off your head.

All she can do is top a monstrous present for a very large child...

[Bozita]

20. the royal hijab

[patrice]

21. You know, if I HAD to hold something onto my head, I wouldn't wear it no matter how great it looked.

That looks soooooooooooo silly, kind of defeats the whole idea of the hat. Figure out how to make it stable or don't wear it.

[marions ghost]

22. head sculpture

or lamp shades... If it rains, they're covered.

:D

How does the lady in the first one do the kissy kissy with friendies, and what if the friend has a similar headdress on? Guess they just wave from under there.

I'm not against it, but in these times let's call it what it is--
ie. freaky

[patrice]

29. I'm thinking the mother in the movie Brazil. Absurd.

[tblue37]

36. The women in my family are all very well-endowed. None of us can

hug another or kiss another's cheek goodbye without sideling up cautiously to get close enough without just bouncing off of each other!

[azurnoir]

23. and here I thought Patti Lbelle proved that years ago

[no_hypocrisy]

24. I saw some beautes on the telly but NASA wouldn't return any of my calls.

[phantom power]

25. I did not just see that

[patrice]

28. Those are in poor taste. It's a wedding; the bride is supposed to be the focal point. nt

[tblue37]

38. The one on the right is just bizarre!

[TroglodyteScholar]

63. I think the one on the right is supposed to look like a wedding band...

I love hats, and I truly LOVE hats on women. But these are all towering homages to the awful taste generally embodied by the moneyed class. Hard to see how anyone could figure otherwise.

[tblue37]

67. I did not realize that the taupe doorknocker hat was on the head of Princess

Eugenie, Andrew and Fergie's younger daughter. Here it is from another angle--from which it looks even more horrendous!



I am trying to imagine what would possess someone to stick that stupid thing on her head and think it looks good in any way!

Oddly enough, the outfit she is wearing is demure and nice looking, though way too matronly for a 21-year-old girl.

(And what the heck is going on with her sister Beatrice's hemline? Hey, girls--the whole frickin' world is watching!)

[patrice]

69. Style aside, I'm surprised they would settle for such a frumpy fit.

[patrice]

80. Somebody needs to tell them that red lipstick is IN. nt

[joeybee12]

81. She wore it because everyone would talk about it...and they are...

looks like some growth the doctors are afraid to remove.

[kas125]

100. I think they wore those hideous outfits and weird, ugly hats

as a FU to granny for not inviting their mom. I could be wrong, but I can't imagine anyone thinking those things look good.

[pacalo]

46. They are Andrew's & Fergie's daughters. The hat on the right gets my vote for most far-out.

[calimary]

64. It even has its own Facebook page!

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Princess-Beatrices-ridiculous-Royal-Wedding-hat/203705509669392

[PADemD]

86. The Facebook comments are hilarious

:rofl:

[tblue37]

88. I like the comment that says that between the hat and the

black eyes, she looks like a reindeer on crack.

Because she does!

[shireen]

74. those are Prince Andrew's and Sarah Ferguson's daughters.

Utterly bizzare!

[progressoid]

26. and this...

[tblue37]

41. Remember this one?

[tblue37]

68. I just noticed that the designer for this hat is also the designer for

most of the hats worn at the wedding--and also at Ascot--Philip Treacy. Bizarro World headgear!

[calimary]

65. OMG - the lady with the "brand new nose for the wedding"!

Some socialite who evidently had to have her nose rebuilt because of a terrible cocaine problem. Piers Morgan talked about it this morning, and Cat Deeley or whoever the woman was with him said she could have just pulled the hat down a little lower over her nose.

I did like Kate's mom's hat - the middle one in the OP.

[kas125]

101. One of my sisters said she looked as if her head had been

impaled by a kayak and someone told us her name, so we had to look her up. We read that she wore the hat to take attention away from her nose, which was destroyed by a cocaine habit - http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celebrity-news/523549/tara-palmer-tomkinson-has-straight-new-nose-for-royal-wedding/1/

:rofl:

[tblue37]

31. I have never understood British women's fascination with

oversized, outlandish hats!

[hootinholler]

76. I used to have a photo of Aretha's Hat from the inauguration

It's clearly not just British women.

-Hoot

[tblue37]

90. Oh, I actually posted that picture, too, somewhere on this thread, as well as the ridiculous hat

(by the same designer as the royal wedding hats, BTW) that Sarah Jessica Parker wore to the premiere of the first Sex and the City movie.

Butthe upperclass British women do seem to go overboard trying to top each other in the ridiculous hat department at Ascot and at such occasions as royal weddings.

And I noticed that the look for hats this year--at least for the ones that are not mock-ups of flying saucers--is to perch the hat precariously on the very front of the forehead, as though someone has licked an oversized and bizarrely shaped stamp and stuck it there.

[malaise]

78. Google Kentucky derby hats

and get back to me. :D

[BobbyBoring]

32. It's said

That aliens have managed to take over by placing themselves amongst the Royalty.

[Bosonic]

33. it's not unusual

Google Royal Ascot (annual horserace meet), hats a gogo

http://www.google.com/search?q=royal+ascot+hats

[patrice]

35. A wedding is not a horse race. It's SUPPOSED to be more dignified. nt

[Bosonic]

42. it *was* more dignified

45. Did you see this one?

It looks like she has a bedroll on her head.

:evilgrin:

[pacalo]

49. A giant napkin with a napkin ring!

:rofl:

Good one!

[patrice]

50. What's the difference between this and someone who wears their gansta jeans down around their ankles

?

Not much more than money; they're both "F**** you!"

[jberryhill]

56. That may be concealing a large medical implant of some kind

Wow, that's some hat.

[Iggo]

89. That's some bad hat, Harry.

Hoooo-BOY!

[bikebloke]

98. Yoga class right after the ceremony.

[louslobbs]

37. I have never believed until this very moment, pictures speak louder than words. Are they friendly?

Lou

[LiberalEsto]

39. Get a load of Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice today

at the royal wedding. Eugenie looks like some kind of alien radar tower that tells the spaceships where to land.

Check the other pictures too. Camilla looks like she's wearing a toilet seat on her head.
The queen of Denmark looks like she has blue reindeer horns affixed to her hat.
The only picture in this series that looks normal is Princess Letizia of Spain.

The British: Mad as hatters.

[patrice]

47. Just goes to show that money doesn't necessarily buy good taste.

[patrice]

54. Yep. The Spaniards showed them all up. nt

[sellitman]

40. I saw one on Trump's head too!!!!

I swear!

Shows my level of fashion sense huh?

93. DAMN, I was fully prepared to have my mind blown...you win this round, lol.

94. Now where's the horse pics..

:hi:

[JohnnyRingo]

95. Technically, you'd need a strong gust of wind to make them Unidentified "Flying" Objects. LOL

Certainly we have to wonder about the inspiration for these toppers. It's possible Limey haberdashers are aliens who moonlight in the spacecraft industry. Cheerio.

[Codeine]

99. Christ almighty, aristos are some stupid motherfuckers.

Jesus fuck I hate shit like that.
