What just won’t do
June 18th, 2008
This is an approved Ascot ensemble. 
Not so very many of us will attend Ascot Week and even fewer of us will attend in the Royal Enclosure. Apparently, however, enough uninitiated types have been invited in the past that the overseeing officials had to introduce new dress rules. If you are to be in the same place as the queen, there are things you cannot do.
I thought the article was mildly interesting, but I thought the Ascot don’ts were hilarious. It made me wonder what these people thought they were attending. Certainly they weren’t at any horse race I ever attended!
If you go to the races and stay in a private box, inside, I don’t suppose it matters what you wear to anyone except the box owner, but if you go to point to point races or stay at course side, you are walking on grass or even mud, there’s little if any shade available. It doesn’t take a queen in attendance to make those clothes funny!
PS/ I didn’t really like any of the clothes shown, but I loved some of the hats.

Must wear panties, Must wear panties. Remember girls, if you are with the queen, you must wear panties, but it’s better not to show them.
