55 – Ascot

One of the best scenes in the movie My Fair Lady, with Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison, is the trip to Ascot for the horse races; where, the lady who isn’t quite yet fair yells, amidst all the silent snobs, “Come on Dover! Move your bloomin’ a_ _!” This embarrassing blunder is accentuated by the stunning and very pristine clothes they are in.
My Dad loves this movie, and one year his annual Easter bonnet gifts to my Mom and me were Ascott-worthy (albeit slightly more conservative than Eliza Doolittle's). I love that I get an Easter bonnet every year, and I love this particular bonnet so much it sits on my piano to this day.
#55 on my list of Favorite Things is this EASTER BONNET.
