I'm going to wait until I get back to the UK and get one there. At least I won't be looked at with this expression

"Are you gonna try the accent or what?"

That's one of my favourite F&S sketches of all time! I love it when she throws the dress over "Scarlett" and it's magically on her after the cut scene. Genius.

Nor me JG. Hats do absolutely nothing for me. But a few feathers on the other hand

I am in no way a fashion follower or a girly-girl but I still think wearing a hat or something interesting on your head when you go to a dressy-up do is kind of cool and very British as well.

Hope you find what you are looking for mate

Thanks Sugar

I'm sure I will, and if not, I'll pluck a few feathers from a stray chicken or something, dye them and make my own head-piece!

For some strange reason that's made me want to say "HOW" and jump around on one leg!

I'll get my coat .................

I was thinking of something like this - just something small, to set off the outfit.
How the hell does that stay on?

A staple?


I watched a movie called "Death at a Funeral" last week. One of the ladies at the funeral was wearing one of those things. Reminded me of a mobile on her head.

If you are going to wait until you get to the UK make sure to go to Monsoon, they do fantastic accessories and have a wedding section.

I'd forget I had it on, catch one of the feather deals fluttering out of the corner of my eye and constantly be swatting around my head thinking it was a wasp or something.

It's a good thing I'm not a woman. I wouldn't make a very good one.
