Prince Charles's award can be interpreted in two very different ways, both of them correct.

Those silly monstrousities designed purely to get the wearer in the newspapers make me as mad as a hatter. Bea or is it Eugenie (no 13) is wearing a genuinely elegant hat which I would feel happy to wear myself. Oh for the era of the late Gertrude Shilling, when she was the only woman to wear such absurd hats to Ascot.

As a man, I know little about ladies' hats/fascinators and thus have some questions - are hats like these totally irritating and uncomfortable to wear, and do you have to adjust them constantly to keep them tipped at such jaunty angles? I can't handle items of clothing that I need to obsessively check out in the mirror every 10 seconds to make sure they're not askew.

@greyeminence: I wear hats every day. When I went to Waterloo yesterday it took me a moment to realise all the other women were en route to Ascot. I wear a variety of hats and the occasional fascinator. My hats are all comfortable. That is an important consideration for something I might wear for long stretches at a time. I use my antiquye hat pins and hair pins to keep my hats in place. My 1940s tilt hats, as the name suggests were designed to be worn at a tilt and therefore have a band built in to faciliate that. However when it is windy I have to have a spare hand free to stop my hat from breaking free.

@greyeminence: All of my hats fit my head and aren't the type that perch. But if they were? Bobby pins. If you look closely a number of hats have an elastic strand under the jaw or chin.

God I love hats. I wish I was better at posting images - I'd post my derby topper - violently green with purple hydreangas, butterflies and net.

Some of these hats are truly remarkable and I feel as though it would take a talented milliner to make them. Some of them however (I'm looking at you Edgar Allen Poe hat) look like I could make them in 20 minutes with shit from the Micheal's down the street. That's not necessarily a bad thing but I've seen nicer hats on Etsy that look like the required more workmanship.

@Green Goth Brit Chick - AlternatEve: I'm with you -- all the purple ones went straight to my father, gladly. I loved the toffee pennies, though.

It's for the best that the dark blue coconut, pink strawberry fondant and orange orange fondants didn't make an appearance. The poor chapeauette would've been eaten alive.

...and compared to Miss 99 Flake up there, the Quality Streeters are the model of restraint. Yikes. She'll put out someone's eye!

You would think with his brother's very tragic death of a heroin dose so many years ago that Joaquin Phoenix would stay away from drugs. Sadly no. And what's worse, people think he's playing it up like Andy Kaufman with some sort of irnoic person. Sad.

@Antonella: I think that whatever genetic or nurture characteristics that acted on River are probably acting on Joaquin. It's too easy for addicts to justify their own addictions as controllable and people who die of an overdose as having been stupid about mixing drugs or dosgaes or whatever. It's just not a reasonable state of mind.

One of the key features of a Blackberry is the ability to remotely, wirelessly wipe all user data from the device if lost or stolen... Why wouldn't you take advantage of that?
