Am I allowed to ask? What do the larger fascinators do in the rose bushes when it isn’t Cup Day?
How do they reproduce? What do they eat? Are they under threat from global warming? Should they be studied by scientists to make sure they aren’t threatened, or just be farmed by fashionistas, perhaps under a voluntary self regulation code? Can they be casseroled? Or perhaps they could be bred … to capture CO2 from the oceans? Or even better, can we use the larger fascinators for cleaner coal burning, and can they be included in the ETS?
The possibilities were endless and made me wet my pants. So I had to share my joy. 🙂

And now the Coodabeens have written us a song to the tune of Sade “Smooth Operator” … we have “A Huge Fascinator”.
Well it turned into a Shocking Crime Scene, when Mourilyan sent $420000 of our money back to his owner. 🙁

Paddy, I am too speechless to think of anything coherent. But the words “Fine Cotton” have jumped in my head.
Along with vague pictures of the species of Russian oligarch who just cleaned up our horse race. How vexing! Only thirty years ago, there was no such thing. Now, we must fear the approach of foreigners. And to think, at the beginning of the 20th century, we only had to worry about Pharlap from New Zealand. I shall cover my face and look mysterious immediately. 🙂

Right on the zeitgeist, dudes! 🙂 🙂
