Stupid hats


Just like good bad taste, there are good stupid hats and bad stupid hats, here's a nifty little guide


I realise someone probably extorted a huge amount of money from this woman calling it 'fashion' and in exchange for an exorbitant price, your own personal marshmallow cloud to block the view of the very thing you're there to see.
makes sense
Result = Bad Stupid


Just because you wear it with diamonds and MIGHT be related to someone in a royal family somewhere (legitimately, no clue who this is) does not mean you continue to wear a kite after a child has got it stuck in your hair
Result= Bad Stupid


Princess Beatrice! Who can forget this one? It has its own MEMES you guys, that's how much it influenced the collective subconscious. Personally i think the female reproductive system comparison is pretty bang on, it might be a Philip Treacy and therefore 'art' or whatever you want to pass it off as, but come on? I'd rather wear a dildo on my head
Result= BAD BAD Stupid


Giant cocktail stupid hat, don't mind if i do! good for getting shitfaced, bad for diluting cocktails if it starts to rain
Result= GOOD Stupid!


Now this one above is a personal favourite. Proof that fashion is sometimes so freaking dumb, i don't think even Lady Gaga would be caught in this, well 2 years ago maybe.

 This is proof that Barbie has invented a gigantor ray and is keeping it to herself. It hit one of her napkins instead and could be sold for a probably quite neat profit looking at the ostentatious jewellery and the sugar daddy in a top hat in front

Is this in case a dinosaur needs a tampon? I hate when fashionistas are all 'oh you just don't 'get' it' what is there to get? That someone has more money than brains? That's very gettable as evidenced by many things in the fashion world that takes itself way too seriously. 
Result= BAD BAD BAD Stupid

Louis Theroux






Louis Theroux is an English journalist who has become quite well known, and deservedly so, for his body of work speaks for itself. Personally my absolute favourite series of his are the Weird Weekends specials. There is a full list of them here but do check out his other specials! One of my all time favourites, the UFO special, you can view the whole thing here and that's the first episode of the first series! staying power! 

There's a magically indefinable quality about Mr. Theroux. People open up to him in a way that seems surreal, especially in his specials where he embeds himself with people who are living on the fringes of society, or their beliefs and way of life are seen as bizarre, and in some cases, bigoted and hateful, but then he stops and talks to them and tries to understand why they have approached this way of life, or this belief system, and he ultimately reveals their human side, to the chagrin of some of the interviewees. This is his official website. The episode Louis and the brothel from his BBC 2 Specials, is well worth watching. His relationship with working girl Hayley will linger in your mind after you finish watching.
Rather than 'just a journalistic' approach, i feel he has a deeply human one too towards all he talks to. A place for Paedophiles is another one that will stay with you. 

I find Mr Theroux an  extremely thought provoking person, and will continue to watch his work.
