Sorry these pictures are so big, it is the only way I can post them. Some are mixed up but I wanted to show you a few I thought you might enjoy. I'll explain later who the people are in the pictures with me. Hope you enjoy them.

    z, am I looking at pictures of you or of a young Janet Leigh? Where's Tony?

    The pink hat framed your face beautifully.

    And the yellow dress and black hat were spectacular!!!!

    BTW, I like the pictures BIG. I can see the details better.

    You look adorable and you found the perfect outfit. You do look like a young Janet Lee only prettier.

    Yes!! Perfect outfits! You are stunning! (I don't know who Janet Lee is.) Love your dresses and both hats were pure perfection. Great job!

    I taped the Derby but when I heard here that Mission Impazable didn't win, I didn't even watch.

    It made the Kentucky Derby more exciting to watch, knowing you were there with Mission Impazable. Thanks for sharing your incredible Kentucky Derby experience with us. You were stunning! Will you be racing in the Preakness Stakes?

    Love the yellow dress and hat, and I love your hair! I always wished that I could pull off a cut like that, but my hair has too much of a mind of its own.

    Love the yellow dress with the black hat! From some photos I saw on a newspapers slide show online- you put a lot of celebreties to shame. Your outfit is outstanding. Impeccable taste.
    And yes, we want to know, are you getting your "Preak On"? As the commercials say here in Bawlmer!

    You look amazing! Love both hats and dresses. You could have worn anything and looked great-- I can't believe you worried so much.

    I don't usually watch the Derby, but DH loves it. This year I had to watch for Mission Impazable and you!

    I meant to post this on the other thread. Your Derby Day outfit was PERFECT! Thanks for all the great pictures.

    You really pulled it off! (I was watching the hat-fretting from the sidelines.) So glad it all worked out. You really look amazing in both outfits/hats. What an experience!!

    Absolutely marvelous! You look perfect and tell your husband he looks pretty cute too! :) Are those all sons? If so, great looking family. If not, they are still a great looking group. Glad it was fun and I doubt anyone looked prettier than you!

    oh, BTW, aren't you glad you decided to forego the tie dye with black hat-how embarrassing it would have been to see someone in the same outfit! LOL.

    golddust, Janet Leigh was married to Tony Curtis and was the mother of Jamie Leigh Curtis. She starred in Psycho.

    Thank you, couldn't have done it without all your help. The picture above is quite funny. My sons, my nephew and my son in law are in the picture with all of us together. They had the best time ever. My younger son went to the paddock to see Pete with the other owners and was making friends with Rajiv the jockey's son. I only wished I walked that walk with MI, but we just didn't know. It is a very confusing time and everything went so quickly. Mission Impazible has a face-book and you can see what events he is going to have coming up. One of the owners wants him to go into the Preakness not Belmont. Another one wants him to run in Saratoga at the Traverse, which is a very exciting race and one at Mammoth in New Jersey another stakes race. I'll let you know what his upcoming races are. As for Funny Feeling they are getting excited about her race, wish I could scan that picture in the winning circle, so exciting. Oh and the shoes, for the white dress are Anne Klein sandals with heels, multicolored pink and white really cute, they made the outfit. Gee where am I going to wear these outfits again, maybe our new granddaughter's Christening. I am going to miss talking about the Kentucky Derby it is so nice having everyone as friends.

    I thought those must be your sons - you all have the same eyes. Zshopper - you are so photogenic and such a beautiful smile!

    Thanks for sharing the pictures - you look great and so glad to hear it was a fun time.

    We need to see the sandals!

    Per your request, here is the picture of the shoes I wore for the Oaks. They were comfortable at first but by the end of the day my feet were burning. But who cares they looked so nice.
