The Kentucky Derby is this weekend! For those of you who have not had the opportunity to attend this extravaganza, it is definitely an experience everyone should have in their lifetime.
The people watching in itself is ART. But what we really love are THE HATS.
Whether you sip mint julips in the Grandstand . . .
Or attempt to survive flying beer cans in the infield (it is possible - learned from personal experience) . . .
This incredible tradition of millinery is kept alive through the Kentucky Derby.
But in today's society, where else can you find this ARTform?
British royalty continue to represent the lady-like fashion.
As does the American Queen . . . Ms. Aretha.
Then there are the eccentrics . . .
and of course, there are the ladies of Derby.
We also found artist Kim Frohsin inspired by the drama of this lost accessory.
Why don't we all wear hats more often and express this lost ART!?
This weekend, regardless if you are in Louisville, Los Angeles or Lincoln, Nebraska - grab this timeless feminine adornment and wear it proud. Maybe it's a way we can all have our own personal Grandstand whenever we need it.
Hats off to all the the "real ladies" out there . . . wherever you are!
