Now we all know I'm a girl from the South with an affection for all things BIG- big hair and even bigger hats and the Kentucky Derby celebrates just that....an annual event held the world over (well in just Kentucky)- it brings out masses of wonderfully tailed men and women wearing the most whimisical of hats custom made for their crowns. From original and ornate to simplistically chic- this affair is viewed by some as ostentatious but a diva like me can only appreciate the over the top flair of it all...Moet & Chandon and Mint Juleps flowing, Veuve Clicquot pouring, dapper dans dipping in on the bets for the best Derby horse while smoking only the cigars sipping on Woodford Reserve Bourbon and checking out the finest and most feminine of "flowers"- who all came out for an afternoon of beautiful weather and even more beautiful people...now that is my kind of kickback soiree...check out this year's fashion's and affair tidbits and tell me what you think...
The 2012 Kentucky Derby
How to Make a Mint Julep
Muddle mint leaves, powdered sugar, and water in a collins glass. Fill the glass with shaved or crushed ice and add bourbon. Top with more ice and garnish with a mint sprig. Serve with a straw.
