Oh, I take that back. I didn’t even see her. I thought that hat was a barrier of some kind.

Queen Elizabeth’s skin is younger and smoother than the Rottweiler’s.

Elizabeth is still so beautiful! With all her faults, she has been a rock in so many ways for the traditional duties. Camilla makes me skeeve....oh, puleeeeeeease.

Here's Simon Cowell in a formal morning suit with waistcoat, and a bunch of trashy show biz females at Ascot:

That one cracked me up. She's going to need some chiropractic care after wearing that thing around all day.

Camilla's visage is as hideous as her soul.

[Revolting cat!]

What do you mean, she has to wear both of those things every day?!

[Cincinna]

Thanks, Leni, for the detailed fashion analysis.

Style and tradition are never meaningless. Ascot, and English traditions have greatly influenced American fashion. Ralph Lauren built his fashion empire on bringing “that look” to the American market.

I loved Princess Anne’s dashing orange. It is a color most would never dare to wear.

[trisham]

I agree with you about Anne’s hat. It’s a striking colour, and a very interesting design.

[Cincinna]

They certainly did show Camilla, and she did look lovely. Her cream colored outfit was very flattering.

Comparisons to MOBama are misplaced. Camilla is a very intelligent, well bred gorl from an excellent family. She is totally discreet and dresses for her role.

Sorry, I’m sure you’re right.
