The tragic days of ANNA BOLENA…..who husband Henry v111 decides to cut off her head.

To attend the Gaga Dinner and get a seat in the orchestra is $100,000  for you and 9 guests.

With all that spilling of blood…..how appropo is ths dress !  [What is that white thing hanging out the bottom of her dress]  ?

She looks just like Anne’s successor……….the one who wore those crazy British hats !

Suzanne Somers looking for……? ? ?

Oh, jeez…………she forget her ticket.  No opera for her. A seat in the balcony is $1,450.

Turned away.  No Tickie no Gala.  An individual ticket for the Gala.and ONE seat in the orchestra is $5,500.

Chain, chain, Chain.

“Tell her she just stepped on my gown!”

The feathers………OK.  But the turquoise earrings?

What’s with that hair?

The opera hasn’t even started and she”s taking a nap.

A paper bag for a purse?  NOT!  Even if it is Bergdorf’s.

Michael Jackson would roll over in his grave if he saw this copy of his outfit.

Those hoops big enough for you honey?

Chinchilla………..and it’s 80 degrees tonight!

Could he Henry’s 4th wife !……Or, King tut’s !

A few puckers too many on that turquoise number.

The scarf just doesn’t make it.  Her face seems to agree.

Tragic……..or what!  She’s getting ready for Anna’s “mad scene”.

She wins the prize!  I love it all……..except for the white lace.

I take it back.  She gets the prize.  20 fur balls and counting.

As if the stars weren’t enough……….those shoes !

The beauty of the evening.   Just hope she doesn’t loose her head.

Anne lost her head to the henchman with the big AXE. …………not a rope !

31 more OUTRAGEOUS HATS

It takes all kinds to make a proper Easter Parade…………….and here are 24 creative New Yorkers.  We parade with pride……..the tourists just stare!

Gebera Daisies…………….

The whole friggin’ garden………..

O.K.   So he doesn’t need a hat to get stares.

And she doesn’t need a hat either.

 

A “sweet-tooths” delight.

What a load to bear………..and there is a head under there somewhere.

Her hat.

OH OH!  I think she sat on her hat!

And these two ladies should have spent more hours on their hats.

A little make-up would have helped.

“I don’t need any make-up!  I just need a new face”!

 

This smile says it all!

Michael Jackson made an appearance…………..

“WELCOME”…………says it all.

Lust, Pride, Yum and……………

42 chickens found a place to roost.

6 dozen eggs…..6 butterflys…….6 chickens……….and a flower patch.

Many a chicken gave his life for these feathers.

An Ostrich made this contribution…………and magenta dye #4

Oh my!  The whole ostrich gave up his butt.

The doggie is the star……..the hat………….

 

But where’s the cotton tail?

“I have the ears…….wanna see my tail”?

“sure………I wanna sniff your tail!”

A Barbie doll……….SPRING……………and 20 pounds of eggs.

Three baskets……….voila………one hat!

Orange is NOT the new “black”.

Can’t decide which I like best…………the skirt or the hat.

Egg in a basket………….I like this one a lot.

What are the “Seven Deadly Sins” ???????  [Hat #2].

Black and White……………timeless.  Coco would approve.  So do I.  It was she who said……..”In order to be replaceable one must always be different”.

Why are they staring at Tom’s hat?

“I’m jealous, honey”.   “They should be staring at MY hat”.

Love the hat……hate the boots !

The flight of the butterfly………….or…………..the feather boa gone wrong!

Black Rabit with a 6-pack?  I think NOT !

“Miss Tits Galore”…….and the crowd wanted more.

The Roman Guard………….where’s the Cross?

She wants to be sprayed……….. or Neutered?
