[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

As Galadriel spoke of being a Queen, "beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night", I think that she was really thinking: "Besides, that's too much gold for my hand. Do I look like a giant magpie?"

She isn't the only one of the Wise to be serious about fashion either. Take Saruman, for example: as he stood before Gandalf in his new shimmering robes of many colours he was thinking: "He's bound to be so jealous. He hasn't bought a single new outfit since the end of the Second Age." Obviously that's why he was so upset that Gandalf liked white better.
