“On the one hand I love getting all dressed up but on the other I care deeply about the welfare of horses. It’s a no win situation”, said Surry Hills based designer, Sarah, 23.
Thousands of Sydney’s fashion loving but socially conscious youth were heavily vexed today at the running of the Melbourne Cup after attending various lunches in all their finery.
On the other hand, several older local punters were not so vexed. “Me? The horses? Couldn’t give a fuck!” said Shano, 46.
“I’m hot. What am I meant to do? Not dress up?! Come on!” said Donny, strategist, 22.
“I’m a stone cold babe. And my Bec and Bridge outfit kills. But the horses are dying and that kills me” said Katy, EA, 19.
It’s a tough one.
