So don't you feel inspired to rock out your own head gear. As always we close with a song . I can't confirm these are Philip Treacy designs. Though they do look as if they were at least inspired. What do you think ?

    I love the work you did!! I am thoroughly charmed.

    (strange isn't it that we adore the late Isabella Blow for her mad hats and the comments on Princess Beatrice have been less than kind .. but then we "hate" tattoos on people unless they're on Angelina Jolie.

    I think that the appreciation of irony is losing speed along with humor.

    Wow. You made me think, lol.

    It's such a British 'thing' and seems so strange for these uptight types to come out full force in such outlandish and creative hats (of ALL cultures). Art! Yes, write more on Blow, (why do we only appreciate people when they are dead???).
