Today
is a day when everyone is supposed to be able to wear a tiara and
feel like a princess. (All you boys and men, feel free to substitute
a hefty crown, and feeling like a king.)
Apparently,
in the past, tiaras were only worn by married women who were royalty.
However, these days some brides and prom-goers wear tiaras, too. The
people who originated this day think we should ALL be able to wear a
tiara and feel as special as a bride, princess, or prom queen must
feel.
(By
the way, speaking of royalty, the reason that this day in particular
is International Tiara Day is because it is also Queen Victoria's
birthday, as you will see below.)
Check
out how much Amy Farrah Fowler on The Big Bang Theory
likes her tiara!
A
quick Google search turned up a party-favor tiara for 99 cents from
Party City, costume tiaras for $4-$12, and beautiful rhinestone
tiaras for $25 - $80. Of course, real diamond-and-jewel-encrusted
tiaras would cost thousands—maybe even hundreds of thousands—of
dollars.
If
you don't already have a tiara, and you don't want to buy one from a
party store or costume shop, you can make one! Try the techniques
shown at ThreadBanger.
Whatever
tiara you happen to own, buy, or make, wear it proudly today—even
to the grocery store!

Ahead...
