It’s Derby Week in Louisville and FunctionalAmbivalent is excited. It includes this, but you really do need to read it all.
The most beautiful women in the world are at Churchill Downs on Derby Day. There are thousands of them in beautiful spring dresses and flowery hats, and you can tell from their glow that every one of them feels beautiful, right down to her bones. Most of the time, when women go all-out, they’re dressed in evening wear: Dark dresses and glamorous makeup. For Derby, the theme is spring: Billowy dresses and skirts, bright colors, girl-next-door blush on the cheeks and hats that would make Carmen Miranda scream no mas. My wife, who is not a girly girl, has been enjoying the hunt for the perfect dress and accessories for a month, and she will look spectacular in the sunshine.
