I was walking through the Waterloo train station (early!) Thursday morning, and was struck* by 1) the number of people milling around, and 2) the disproportionate amount of top hats/tails and fascinators/heels I was seeing. I couldn't imagine what was happening - was there ANOTHER Royal Wedding I didn't know about? Was it a dress-up flash mob? Surely it couldn't be some horse-racing thing... it was pouring rain out, and didn't people who dressed like this have Rolls-Royces to take them to things like that?
Apparently people who
dress like this are also environmentally conscious (or cannot afford the car-in-the-city fees after paying for the hats) - or perhaps they just really like to flock to their horse races.
Hooray for the Royal Ascot!

| Just, y'know... WOW. |

| Maybe my favorite hat EVER. |

Not LITERALLY struck. Between the crazy hats and the heels, eyes and/or toes could have been lost.
