My Hat Has Taken a Global Beating
Ok. I am not going to win any sartorial challenges in the coming months, but my choice of headwear has drawn both interest and mockery – globally. In my contribution to last week’s “For Immediate Release,” my friend Shel likened my hat to one that a paperboy in the 1930’s would wear – the little kid hawking papers on the street.
Not to be outdone, my friend Dave in Germany decided that it was not just enough to TALK about the hat – it has to be celebrated. So in the spirit of poking fun at myself, here goes. And Dave – just remember that your ass is grass and I have the lawnmower.

So, I’ll will leave it to others to describe the “HAT INCIDENT.” Lill? Kristen? Megan?
Please comment.

These pics are too funny.
I take a little bit of ribbing over my English driving hat, which has a similar look. It’s wool and keeps my head warm on cold mornings.
Perhaps I should get a pic with me wearing it and use it as my Twitter av to so show my solidarity.
In the interest of self protection, namely MINE… I would like to point out that there was a successful television show called Queer Eye for the Strait Guy and they would have CRUCIFIED you for your “cap”.
Now I must admit, making fun of your cap has given me no end of fun and hilarity, but I am perplexed and sad that you haven’t mentioned the Lady GaGa makeover I gave you. Will that be in a future article? For the sake of your readers, I hope so. You do yellow highlights and pink lipstick much better than you carry off that awful hat.
Thanks for making me famous.
XOXO
that made me chuckle!
Being the recalcitrant individual that I am, not only am I going to keep the profile pic, I am going to alternate between that one and my cowboy hat: http://www.flickr.com/photos/29619816@N07/4276951546/
My headwear, like Gloria Gaynor, Will Survive.
