A hoarse bark from behind the racing post informs us that red velvet or not, cooing over a fancy hat isn't going to shift the snow that's currently mounting up on the lady chapel altar.

Red Velvet #2
More sumptuousness today, for here we most proudly present the The Burgundy Red Velvet Biretta worn by the Dean of Paderborn Cathedral. It is piped in matching burgundy, lined in silk, and crowned with a magnificent silk confection from Gamerelli. We're loathe to call it a pom-pom really, I mean - just look at it. Exquisite is it not?

Red Velvet
Lavish, frankly, is all we can say. Here is the scarlet red velvet biretta as worn by the Provost of Paderborn Cathedral, adorned tastefully as it is with scarlet velvet.
Many of the dear sisters would be grateful of a hat of such virtue; the convent gas metre has seized up in the freezing cold, and won't even admit the fifty pences from last years lent boxes. We wonder if Paderborn cathedral ever had problems with the heating, thus necessitating a toasty warm biretta for its hierarchy?
More sumptuousness to follow tomorrow.
