I thought you might like to compare your fine hat/s to the ones I saw this past Sunday at the 5th Ave. Easter Bonnet parade. Which one is your favorite? (Mine isn’t even a hat. It’s the two dapper gentlemen in their Sunday finery. Very nice!)










This is 17 yo Screamy, who really enjoyed the parade and has already picked out his/her (sorry, forgot to ask) 2024 parade costume.

Very fun photos! As for a favorite, I’m going with the dog in pink sunglasses.

Wow. I did not know of this tradition. It looked like everybody was having a damn good time! Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

I knew the song, and I once heard an old Jack Benny radio show episode about it. But I just figured it was a quaint old thing that had died in the 1950s.
My Long Island mother in law was big on dressing our daughters in Easter bonnets, the traditional white ones.

That outfit/hat on the woman in the first photo-just wow. But my favorite is the dog with the bunny & carrot hat-so cute. Looks like it was a fun time for all-thanks for sharing!

My favorite? The dog sticking his tongue out at me.
Anyway
Love the pics! What fun…

Late to the parade…
my favorite photo was of the gentlemen, on the left in pink tails and white top hat, and on the right the gentleman with a bright red top hat. So well turned out !!! Always appropriate for a fancy ball gathering !!
