Family in Christmas Crowns from Crackers
Christmas Crackers are an English tradition. You pop open the "cracker" -- and there is a toy, a riddle and paper crown inside.

Butterfly Hat & Peacock feather hat - Kentucky Derby Party
Via Flickr:
When our friends Todd and Paula throw their Kentucky Derby party, fancy hats are the order of the day. Cecile made a "fascinator" of butterflies that hovered over her head. Her good friend Jan chose fine feathers to make her mark.

My friend Chelsea and I have been planning to do a "crazy photoshoot" for a few days now and while having many ideas. Today..we decided to keep it simple and take a couple head shots, as well as model some of the jewelry and hats I will be selling on my website (link above). I also wanted to practice my hair and make-up skills. Honestly, I was quit impressed with the results of being able to do so well with that. It was a lot of fun, and this truly gives me more assurance to what i want to study and do with my life. (: Thank you, Chelsea.

INSIDE Officially Licensed "Indiana Jones" Wool Felt Fedora by Dorfman Pacific
Officially Licensed "Indiana Jones" Wool Felt Fedora by Dorfman Pacific, a photo by puuikibeach on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
This was my first "Indy hat," an "Indiana Jones Vintage Distressed Hat" by Dorfman Pacific, also known as the "dusted finish" or "OFFICIAL Indiana Jones Dusted Crushable Wool Felt Fedora." I made this purchase impulsively -- the same way I make most of my purchases -- and before I knew anything at all about fedora-style hats. As it turns out, the "D-P" is generally disparaged among true aficionados of "Indy gear" as being a cheap costume hat and derided for an utter lack of "screen accurate" realism.
D-P makes some lower end hats, but this one, in "crushable wool felt," is at least a notch or two above "costume hat." It's comfortable, wearable, and has a certain flair, particularly in the "swoopy" brim.
Personally, I kind of like this hat. I was initially disappointed when I learned more about "Indy" hats that I had "wasted money" on this one, but you know, I kinda like the look of the Dorman Pacific. No, It's not what I consider my "Indy" hat now... even though it sports a nifty bronze pin that says "Indiana Jones" on the ribbon. To me it looks rather more like a vintage newspaper reporter hat. I've been meaning to make an old-style press pass to stick under the ribbon in front. It would also work as a seedy gumshoe hat, or a '30s gangster hat, or, in a pinch... an "adventure guy like Indiana Jones" hat!
Anyway, that's probably more than you wanted to know about this hat. Oh, but, one more thing: my research indicates that the "CRUSHABLE-WATER REPELLENT WOOL FEDORA with the VINTAGE DUSTED LOOK" was a "limited edition" and is no longer being produced. The compulsive hoarder in me wants to keep it, but... I really do not need to hang on to this hat. Hence, these photos. I'm considering listing this "limited edition, dusted finish," and all-important "officially licensed" crushable wool felt fedora at online auction.

Marilyn Monroe's dress from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
With Red feather hat! Marilyn Monroe's hat & costume
Via Flickr:
Marilyn Monroe “Lorelei Lee” signature red-sequined “Two Little Girls from Little Rock” showgirl gown with feathered hat by Travilla for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. (TCF, 1953) This iconic costume was worn by Marilyn Monroe as “Lorelei Lee” in the number “Two Little Girls from Little Rock” with Jane Russell. Made of a heavy silk crepe with thousands of hand-sewn sequins spiraling in every direction starting small at the top and finishing in large singular sequins around the bottom to allow them to catch the light from all angles. A deep split to high above the thigh caught by a diamond brooch added to the drama of this dress. The slightly risqué bust area once again fooled the censors by including a shear body-toned fabric from the neck right down to the waist giving the impression of nudity without showing a thing. Dress has handwritten label “1-25-1-4286 A698-67 Marilyn Monroe.” Hat has handwritten label “1-25-1-4286 A698-67 M. Monroe.” Acquired by Debbie Reynolds directly from Twentieth Century-Fox during the “pre-sale” when she bought all of the Marilyn Monroe wardrobe from the studio prior to the auction in 1971. $200,000 – $300,000

Hats off to Beatrice for millinery masterstroke - Gail Walker, Columnists - Belfasttelegraph.co.uk
Still, well done Beatrice for wiping the smile off her tormentors' faces with the brilliant decision to auction the 'unique sculptural celebratory headpiece' on eBay, raising £81, 101 for the charities Unicef and Children in Crisis.
At a stroke Beatrice showed that she'd a sense of humour, didn't take the crazy world of fashion any more seriously than it deserves to be taken and was happy to use her misfortune to help others.
