more on weddings and hats

the great hat scandal.... sort of.

as everyone has certainly found out, violating a written rule of conduct or clothing is bad, but violating an UNWRITTEN one will get you a lot of bad press and speculation.

you showed up in jeans when the invite said "black tie" tsk..tsk...you didnt wear a hat at a royal wedding when the official rules said "hats optional" OMG! the world is ending, its a political message!

Samantha Cameron, wife of the Prime Minister didn't wear a "hat" to the wedding, but did wear a jeweled hair ornament. From the press reaction you would have thought she showed up wearing a rude T shirt that insulted the country. editorials ranged from assumptions that it was a deliberate dis to the royals, over to the more reasoned reaction that this was "obviously done to spite her husband" politically and socially. the specter of divorce was discussed repeatedly...

because she didnt wear a hat...
at a hat optional event.

she is STILL in the news today, although with more people defending her choice.

hats, obviously still a VERY big deal in England....
