Hats!

And a link, because it made me smile: The hats of Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.

Were I a monarch, I like to think that I too would enliven state occasions with bizarre and delightful hats. Preferably with antlers.

ETA: I have been informed that these are photoshop. D: D: D: Well then, the place for monarch with the most awesomest hats is still wide open! Get on it, monarchs of the world!

Well, the hats at least exist, surely?

And it gave me a brief, warm glow to imagine a public figure wearing them.

I am envisioning a meeting of world leaders in silly hats. I'm not sure if it would facilitate getting things done, but it would be pretty hilarious.

It's not quite the same, but have a picture of world leaders in ponchos at the 2008 APEC conference:

Oh my goodness Putin. I'm not sure what his face is doing in that photo, but it's kind of entertaining.
