My life has been so awesome lately. I’m out and very open to both of my adult children and over 10 of my best lady friends. I decided to have an impromptu Kentucky Derby party this Saturday and many of them are coming. I ordered a fancy fascinator hat to go with a lovely dress which I’ll wear with full makeup. I already got totally waxed and a mani/pedi last Friday. All of my crew is super supportive and it will be a really fun day. I can’t wait.❤️❤️❤️
Living my best life,
Deedee
Good for you Deedee! I had a fantasy Kentucky Derby party a few years ago and dressed in fancy dress, hose and heels. Just didn't have a hat. Looks like you are going all out. Enjoy!

DeeDee, It sounds like you are going to have a great Derby party this Saturday. Don’t forget the mint Juleps.

Sound like lot of fun! BTW share the fun with us through pictures.
Living in Kentucky I have been to some big bashes on Derby day.
Went to Anita Madden's famous Derby party one time and met several actors.
Went to Governor John Y Brown's Derby party and met his wife Phyllis George Brown the actress.
Actually went and partied in the infield at Churchill Downs on Derby day.
FYI the hat thing thing on derby day is huge and the whole point is to see who has the biggest most elaborate hat.
Small hats go unnoticed so in order to be authentic get a big hat and put flowers and fruit and other stuff on it.
Bigger the better.
Here are a few more low key derby hats that are quite common on Derby day

Deedee, love the hat.
Please call me Jamie, I always_have crossdressed, I always will, "alwayshave".
A horse farm near me (Overbrook Farm) won the Derby in 1996 with their horse Grindstone.
My next door neighbor was good friends with the owner W.T.Young and I got to go to the big party at the farm.
W.T was a really nice man very generous too he split the winnings with his employees of his whse company and farm.
2000 was the last year I went to the Derby or bet on the horses.

Enjoy Deedee and go easy on the mint julips.
Just have a great time at your party and enjoy the day.
Deedee that sound like so much fun!!! Don't forget the mint juleps.
Hat or veil? Cute either way!
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
Oh there will be plenty of Mint Juleps and Kentucky Fried Chicken.. �� It looks like there will be six of us in dresses and hats. ❤️❤️
Give us a full report after the party and again have fun !!
I to would look enthusiastically for a party like yours.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
