but then, I'd love to scrub at least half that eye make-up off of her too...
She looks a bit like she received two black eyes from the "gate" of her hat.

it should be done in a private setting.

But that's just me.

The British have a big thing for hats and fascinators, and some of them are quite funny. A lot of the women look like they have a satellite dish attached to the side of their head. I get a chuckle out of it. Beatrice's eye makeup is overdone, but I think she's a lovely young woman.

When I was her age, I wore hip-hugger bellbottom trousers and purple and white platform shoes.

It's overdone. Maybe if it were half that size. Ridiculous.
Silly.

And you wouldn't catch me dead wearing that on my head.

fortune which she then donated to a charity. It may seem silly to you but I think the silly one is the person that paid thousands of pounds for that hat. I think it was a clever move and I hope she does it again.
