Melbourne Cup Morning

Had channel 7 on this morning before school and the Pre Melbourne Cup interviews were in full swing. My 13 year old son, Riccardo says ” Mum, why do all those ladies wear weird outfits? ” I turned to look at the TV and noticed that the ladies hats were way over the top and their outfits were alien like with pieces hanging off them. What has happened to sheer elegance for Melbourne Cup Day. Biggest isn’t the best and ladies we should know that.
