And Now For Something Truly Frivolous . . .

In 1964, Audrey Hepburn sported this milliner's dream as Eliza Doolittle attending the races at Ascot in "My Fair Lady." I foolishly thought that it was just a costume exaggerated for dramatic effect.


Wrong.



Millinery may be virtually dead in the rest of the world -- but at Ascot,

Millinery -- the art of ribbons, feathers, and bows

and other fancy things -- lives.




In fact it thrives.
