Princess Beatrice's Hat To Be Auctioned On eBay For UNICEF & Children In Crisis

Ah, Princess Beatrice's hat. It's been, like, five minutes since we last mentioned it, so we thought we'd catch you up to speed.

Basically, she stepped out in the ribbon-meets-reindeer headpiece to the royal wedding and the accessory became an instant internet sensation with its own Facebook page (136,493 "Likes" as of this posting) and Tumblr (which has been updated to include a very amusing situation room Photoshop-situation).

Then, the man behind the monstrous meme, milliner Philip Treacy, told HollywoodLife.com that he doesn't care what you or anybody else thinks of Beatrice's style statement, remarking, "Gorgeous and beautiful can be open to interpretation...I thought they looked gorgeous and beautiful. But no one is crying if anyone didn't."

Now, it turns out Bea will be putting her much-talked-about headpiece on the block. According to People.com, Sarah Ferguson told Oprah, "She's putting it up on eBay to auction it for UNICEF and for Children in Crisis."

Way to take some horrendous creative fashion and turn it into a good cause!

Looks like a toilet bowl she glued on her hat... really strange. Lady Gaga better do some more outrageous before we Princess Beatrix takes over the stage as having the most bizarre (fill in the blank) look !

I didn't like her hat at all, but I'm glad that she is auctioning it off for a good cause. This is the best thing that she could do in the light of all this publicity!

What the hell is up with her teeth?? Is that an ultra white partial (denture) next to yellowed (but natural) teeth? Eeww. Nothing like keeping the English-Have-Awful-Teeth stereotype alive...

Donate it to the Roswell, NM UFO Museum as an example of a Martian Halloween mask.

I thought Dr. Who defeated that hat during his 8th incarnation.

Not quite sure if a hat that is modeled on a diaphram being attacked by sperm should be linked to children charity stuff...
