Attention Fang Bangers!: Who's your Favourite Vampire?
Mikaela:
What is it with vampires and Top hats anyway?
Here's Gary Oldman's Dracula:
And here's his beloved in her Victorian incarnation, sporting somthing very akin to a top hat herself:
Actually I have to admit that Gary Oldman completely pulls off the looking-hot-while-wearing-top-hat. No mean feat. That man just can't do anything wrong!! 8)

And I bet all that blood caused yellowing of the fangs teeth too.
Yep, Lestat's really a subtle anti-health warning poster boy.

In fact, I think the (Victorian era?) period costume riding costume for women, with a dainty top hat with a scarf or veil over, and rather fancy decorated dresses etc. lookes especially gorgeous and stylish (and probably as health-endangering as hell, but that's women's wear through the ages for you).

So you like the women's wear, just not the men's wear?

Heh, it's not the vampires, it's the time period they live in. EVERYone who could afford/was anyone wore them.

Yeah. I'm consistent in my apparel bias.

Everyone who couldn't, too - at least if the Hollywood version of the first half of the 1800's is to be beleived. In every Dickens rendition or Les Mis there are any number of poor guys walking about wearing dented, miserable-looking top hats.
*shudders* ;)

That wasn't a slam against our English friends, only against legendarily bad English dentistry. ;D
