The Bluestocking. All gerbils welcome, must have own frou-frou skirt.

New thread!

I actually wore one of those IRL at my daughter's wedding. It's in a cupboard somewhere...

I guess every woman in the country has at least one put away somewhere.

Except me. I'll add it to my list of things everyone else has/has had but not me. So far: microwave, fascinator.

The AI won't do a fascinator, only hats. We do seem to have acquired some new pets/staff, though.

Ooh punk puffin. I love it!

That bat is frighteningly like my fatty ratty who is a dog!

OMG I go offline a bit and we've gone from Frou Frou to Fascinator!

Never a dull moment in this pub.

A large red for me please, I don't do either fascinators or frou frou but I do love me a good hat!

Very punk! I feel it should have a large safety-pin through the beak

I love Myrtle's fascinator, especially when her drink is wearing a little matching one.

Oops Fuzzy, hadn't seen your punk ref. 😐

'An intermediate form, incorporating a more substantial base to resemble a hat, is sometimes called a hatinator.'

according to Wiki, which I looked up for the etymology - apparently it's just that it fascinates, innit?

That would shut me up!

I'm loving my leopard spots! You don't see that in the wild.

Yes, they would love them!

Can I just say that the beetle has never worn, will never wear, has never owned, and will never own a fascinator.

And if anyone dares AI one on to me I will hunt you down, move into your spare room with my hoard of belongings and eat all your Tunnock's.

Am with boiled here….yuk

Wow, Fuzzy's punk phase was incredible. You kept that quiet, little one!

Add me to the non-fascinated...

I am the Vivienne Westwood of Lundy Island!
To be fair, competition was scarce: those cormorants prefer the gothic look.

I am not afraid because:

1. You think there's floor space for you in my spare room? Amateur!
2. I need your hoard of discounted storage solutions to put MY hoard in.
3. I have no Tunnocks.
4. We've lived together before & you couldn't stand it. Can you have forgotten so easily? You broke my heart!

Btw, that image was in response to me asking for a fascinator but not a hat.🙄

.

Looking good, Dr Magpie.

Is that one goth or steampunk?

Looks more steampunk to me. I don't mind, she looks cool no matter what!

Gosh the ex’s have a tiff….

I currently have no spare room either. It now contains all the unused storage solutions from the wardrobe and all the unused storage solutions from the dining room. I can longer see the bed or the floor.

But I have refamiliarised myself with the dining room table.

You know I still love you dearly, but it only works from afar We just don't live well together. It was good those few fleeting hours it lasted.

Plus we'll always have the memories of the honeymoon.

And that is the only reason you are still breathing after that image 😉
