  2. As expected, Thom beat me too the pearl necklace comment. But, yes. Pearls! necklaces! Too much! Pearls! Yes. Yes! Pearls. More! Pearls! Yes!

  3. I just stumbled on Wikipedia's article on fascinators that noted, with an apparently straight face, "A hatinator combines features of a hat and a fascinator." And now here's the perfect illustration of it.

    1. I refuse to believe in the concept of a hatinator until I see one worn by a member of one of the ruling families of Europe at the level of the Princess Royal or above.

      Actually, I refuse to believe in almost anything until it is endorsed by the Princess Royal; it simplifies things to a remarkable degree.
