1. that's not a simplified FSM?

[tabatha]

2. LOL

And then I read this:

"Princess Beatrice's apparent gambit, to wear a chapeau representing "a monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind" really paid off.

Before Wills and Kate had even shared their reluctant micro-kiss, Beatrice's Cthulhu hat already had acquired its own Facebook page with more than 5,000 fans. By 8 p.m. ET, it was closing in on 44,000 devotees."

:rofl:

15. ground control to major tom....

22. I kept up with it via a bunch of snarky knitters from the UK

who'd been watching it live and posting their comments. Apparently the "stuck to the forehead" look was a popular one yesterday.

Speculation over what had stuck them there so securely was rife.

29. Looks like the same designer

31. Cthulu is FSM's Great, great, great, great, great . . . grandfather. nt

[Supply Side Jesus]

3. maybe she belongs to House Greyjoy?

:shrug:

[pnwmom]

4. There were at least a couple of evil salespeople behind this. n/t

[EFerrari]

5. Someone heard on British teevee the speculation

that these were fuck you hats because their mother wasn't invited. I like that.

[thelordofhell]

6. That's O.K., The Blue Falcon was there on the left to save the day

I can only assume the middle guy is Dynomutt in disguise.

7. It's a joke, right? Well, THEY'RE a joke? ::shuddering:: n/t

8. They should have stood with Camilla

to make it a triple ugly affair!!! They are supposed to know about class????? sureeeeeeeeeeeeee

[SoCalDem]

9. Camilla wore her bathrobe to the after-party

[hlthe2b]

10. That was exactly what I was thinking seeing that...

The color is lovely, but why on earth was she photographed wearing her robe to welcome the new bride?...LOL

[lunatica]

27. I think it looks quite elegant

Good thing there's no laws regarding personal taste in style.

[TygrBright]

11. I, for one, welcome our millinery overlords... er... ladies? n/t

[Kurovski]

23. LOL

:rofl: I'm such a hypocrite: I say i don't care and then someone comes up with a crack like that. :rofl:

[Common Sense Party]

12. And John McCain dressed up as Captain Crunch. How nice. n/t

[Kurovski]

24. LOL

:D Some of you guys should have done the color-commenting on that Britty shin-dig.

[area51]

16. The hat

It looks like something that should be in the next Dr. Who episode. :yoiks:

[Lasher]

17. The hat goes on the top of the head.

If it was any lower on her face she'd have to poke holes to see through. Or raise the lid.

I can't wait to see what Joan Rivers has to say.

[Luminous Animal]

18. And these are people who other people slather over.

19. I have a feeling I'm going to get a lot of mileage out of this link

[Hissyspit]

20. Well, technically it's a cartouche.

...but I like the Cthulu interpretation better. :)

[DireStrike]

21. Har! Glad somebody else noticed that.

Though it DOES look a bit like FSM...

[Kurovski]

26. He's taking over the Church of England.

Bully for him, I say. It's a new era.

[Kurovski]

25. K&R

28. Those poor girls.

They look like their mother.

[tabatha]

Designed by NASA, but NASA won't confirm or deny it. It does pick up radio signals quite well, especially AM radio.

[patrice]

32. OMG! Right! That IS who that is!!

[patrice]

33. Silly looking, non-functional bows all over the front of that blue number. Poorly fitting sleeves,

skirt hangs all weird. This design is probably made out of the wrong fabric.

Sorry about their mom! - all of that crap going on in the family really IS tooo bad, but I would never have worn that thing.

The beige number is only slightly better.
