My Kingdom for a Horse

Princes William and Harry arrive on horseback to visit a child education center in Lesotho.

A hot photo ruined by douchey woolen caps, a trend that should have died about the time Kurt Cobain did. But the flooring is great.

Betty and Phil at Ascot, Day 2

Betty Deuce wowed the horsey set in this loud pink ensemble, for which she had one of her WWII issue lead-lined brassieres brought down from the Royal Collection in the Tower of London. Other mad hatters at the races included these gems:




Oh, to be in England.

Betty Deuce at Ascot

Betty and Phil rode in style at the first day of the Royal Ascot races, where her majesty wore a subdued turquoise bonnet. I wish she would have worn this lady's hat! Fabulous!


And here's English footballer Michael Owen, high-hatting it.

See Monkey 'Do

Designer Valentino as he appeared on arrival to the Taormina Film Festival, and a 3.5" figurine of a Wizard of Oz Flying Monkey.

Sex and the WTF is on Her Head?

Sarah Jessica Parker and her headdress at last night's London premiere of "Sex and the City 2," and the crab nebula.

So alike, and yet only one is stunningly beautiful.

Betty Deuce -- A Feather in Her Cap

Good Queen Betty Deuce doesn't look completely convinced that her hat is working, and indeed, it looks like something to be worn to Shrek's wedding, but Betty wore it to greet her peeps at the 150th Anniversary of the Eton Combined Cadet Force, whatever that is.

The brooch, BTW, is the Kent Amethyst Brooch #2, a giant hexagonal-cut amethyst surrounded by diamond sunrays.

Thank you for playing Turban Tuesday!

Ogre Envy

Gowns by Adrian

Joan Crawford as "Letty Lynton" in 1932 in a gown designed by Adrian (Adrian Greenburg), who was married to Janet Gaynor, with whom he had a son. The film became mired in a copyright dispute.





Here are "The Women" in gowns by Adrian; Norma Shearer, Joan, and Rosalind Russell. (click pic to enlarge)





The "ruby slippers" on the feet of Judy Garland, Adrian designed the costumes for "The Wizard of Oz," and over 200 other films.





He even made a monkey look good. Note the detail in Margaret Hamilton's costume.





And Adrian himself, with the signature that became his label.





Adrian died of a heart attack at age 56 in 1959, while designing costumes for "Camelot" on Broadway, for which he won a posthumous Tony.

Betty Deuce Dresses Down

Her Majesty, Betty Deuce, turned down the glamor to attend the Windsor Horse Show on Thursday. Gone are the fabulous hat, the contact lenses and sparkling brooch. All that remains of her regal status are her sexy stockings and sensible shoes.


And what are you wearing today?

Where the Wild Thing Is

"Precious" starlet Gabourey Sidibe as she appeared on "The View" couch yesterday (sitting next to she whose name must not be mentioned), and an illustration from Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are."


Lovely creatures and one hideous beast.

The Devil Wears Schmata

Despised, feared, and perennially bobbed Vogue editrix Anna Wintour at last night's Costume Institute Gala... and some Austrian puff theatre curtains.


Only one hides a big screen portrayal of evil.

Speak to Me Only with Thine Eyes

Donatella Versace's lips, as seen at the Costume Institute Gala, and an upside-down inflatable orange sofa.


So alike, and yet only one makes a style statement, but both squeak when you touch them.
