Royal Ascot is an annual venue in Britain held ostensibly as a horse racing event, but traditionally famous for bringing out ridiculous celebrity hats, or, more accurately, ridiculous celebrities in hats. This week's Royal Ascot meeting brought forth its usual crop of inanities. 
I reckon the hatters are missing a trick here though. Wouldn't a circular hat be ideal for a design based on an astrological chart, with little planets waving around it? I'll sell my idea to any interested hatter for a nominal sum of, say, er.... 6 figures!

Earlier this week I tuned in to an on-line chat session, sponsored by Comcast, with American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert. The presenter asked him questions posed by fans, one of which concerned his interest in astrology. Adam's response:
Shoes. I've never really got to grips with the reason for foot fetishes - the link of feet and shoes to eroticism. Moderately high heels do flatter the legs, that's for sure, but current fads for ultra-high heels with platform soles and very ugly strapping up the ankle area puzzles me. It's a distinctly unflatttering trend, it visually cuts the line of the leg, and causes the wearer to assume a most ungainly and unsexy gait.
Astrologically Pisces rules the feet, Aquarius rules the ankles. For some time now we've have the rulers of Pisces and Aquarius, Neptune and Uranus in mutual reception ( that is travelling through each other's domains) - also we have currently another emphasis in the same area - Jupiter (exaggeration) joining Neptune in Aquarius. "As above, so below" - over-emphasis on the foot and ankle area?

The presenter asked him questions posed by fans, one of which concerned his interest in astrology. Adam's response:"I've always really just found it fascinating, and when I first started reading about my sign, which is Aquarius, I felt it was pretty accurate. Then, when I did my chart to find my rising and moon signs, I thought it was extremely accurate. And the more I do about other people's charts, I also saw they were very accurate. But I know we're a product of our environment, so that has to do with it, as well. We also tend to reflect the company we keep. So it's a little bit of everything."Good! It's good when someone isn't afraid to voice their interest, and he seems to have a nice level-headed approach to the subject. His Aquarius/Aries Sun/Moon combination matches my own, as it happens.
