Fascinating Fascinators

While I'm not generally interested in anything Royal, Kate Middleton is really doing her damnedest to BRING IT. It's getting hard to ignore, especially when she starts rocking one of fashion's long-forgotten accessories, the fascinator.

Oh sure, Damon Wayons tried to bring it back in the early '90s, but for some reason his portrayal of a gay film critic for In Living Color's "Men on Film" just didn't do the trick:

But now that the fascinator has finally gotten a little validity from Kate and even fashion daredevil SJP, they're popping up in all shapes, sizes and prices! Most of the really good, unique ones are still in the UK, but no doubt we'll see a lot of knock-offs showing up in the likes of Forever21 over the next few months. And that's how you'll know to stop wearing them.

These are the ones that have caught my eye:
