A few days ago as I jaunted around here in cyber city
I'd come across an
in a web window,
that was full of unusual hats & headdresses
fashioned by a woman
who works under the assumed alias
Boring Sidney
!!!!!
I was immediately taken in by the uniqueness of her craft
&
I also was thrown to the memory of
one
Ms. Isabella Blow

Why?!?
Well simple dear's
because as you may or may not know
Isabella,
fashion editor, consultant, muse & maker of young fashion talent,
also
the woman responsible for the rise to fame of the ever loved
Mr. Alexander McQueen,
was also widely recognized for the outrageous fashions
that she'd sport on her head

I'm talking headpieces that make
Lady Gaga
look like a shameful pretender

She was idolized as
'The embodiment of the English eccentric"
according to
British Vogue
she was an original headdress goddess
&
let me tell you
the woman knew how to
WORK A DAMN HAT
!!!!!
There are several books written about
her life
which was marked just as much by tragedy as it was by fashion
get on over to
the book shop @
& look them all up
& purchase what you can
