The Fascinator


As the Australian female plans her Race Day Ensemble, she is faced with a style conundrum that undoubtedly leads to one or two sleepless nights. The issue: Hat or Fascinator?
“What the hell is a Fascinator?” you ask.


Well, it’s a precious little bit of millinery that perches on one’s head (often at a coy or rakish angle) consisting of feathers, ribbon, and/or bobbly, sparkly bits.
(Any style-conscious Canadian woman would not be caught dead in one….and if she is, she was obviously mistaken for an over-large quail during open hunting season.)
