Traditionally that is considered to be a honor.<BR/>I made no editorial or negative comment about them or their hats. Perhaps your own thoughts about the hats were more critical than my own words. My comments about hats at previous Mad Hatter luncheons of past experience may or may not be applicable to this event. <BR/><BR/>You might want to go back and re-read the captions associated with the people I pictured.Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-44564445005362743122008-04-07T10:15:00.000-06:002008-04-07T10:15:00.000-06:00I entirely agree with you up to the point you star...I entirely agree with you up to the point you started sharing thoughts about other ladies' hats. I can tell many of the ladies main millinery tool is the hot glue gun. Still it seems to me you made it very personal. You are showing their faces!!! as you comment on how silly they look. <BR/>Your hats were beautiful and someone should have given some information to those judges of what a true milliner hat looks like. Your hats are definetelly made by one true milliner.

Isn't that always the way?!? Of course, in the end they only proved themselves to be boobs especially where millinery is concerned. These contests are SO NOT about real hats. A shame. So little appreciation for the real thing.

They know nothing about hats - has nothing to do with talent or beauty. Shame on them! The only thing Derby Day does right about hats is have a silliest hat category - as far as I am concerned at DD for the last couple of years is they are all silly hats! The gorgeous hats are overlooked entirely.<BR/><BR/>You and Laura should have won in all categories!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09599043861484871206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-63598218795052204372008-04-04T15:16:00.000-06:002008-04-04T15:16:00.000-06:00I am in total disagreement with the judges!You and...I am in total disagreement with the judges!<BR/>You and Laura had the most beautiful hats in my humble opinion!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08665026066153770083noreply@blogger.com
