Oaks day entertainment… What happens when it pours! Funny Tweets galore

It’s Oakes Day in Melbourne, and it’s pouring with rain. So the Twittersphere is going a little nuts with stories of older women stripping off, and replacing high heeled shoes with flippers. There is women wearing hats, with umbrellas on top everywhere… We’ve got the best Tweets mocking Oakes Day here. Have a laugh with us. It was so good we had to share.

Would you strip off at the races like this?
