Girlfriend committed to her Queen of Hearts look. Total disclosure: I’m getting that dress.

“I was told there would be hats. I’m just gonna stand here and drank my drank. Hat? Who’s wearing a hat? I’m not wearing a hat, you’re wearing a hat.”
Fallen Red Hot Chili Pepper
Full disclosure: I’m wearing this right now. It also doubles as my Golden Globes costume.
