Hat Frenzy!!

In the last week, I've bought 3 new hats. A white ski cap for a dollar at the cleverly named "a dollar" store. I've already lost this one. Sunday i bought a black and perrywinkle blue fleece cap with ear flaps due to the impending coldness.It keeps my ears so toasty warm. Today I went into a sporting goods store for the first time in 5 years and bought a navy blue baseball cap. I hate baseball. But,lately there's been something that's incredibly soothing about wearing a hat.
BTW Before my hat buying frenzy, I've had the same black ski cap for the last 10 years and I hardly ever wear it.I'd use a hood when necessary. Right now,I have a burning sensation to go pick up a derby and/or a ten gallon Stetson....

my sister wears cord pouffy caps, she has at least one in every colour imaginable.
i also have a friend who has a sailor hat, a pirate hat, a cowboy hat, an army hat, and a witchs hat.
i however, do not like hats.

I love hats. I have loads and loads of them, but only a few are in this country. My favourite is my cowboy hat. Stetsons rock.

Hat hair, however, is a major dud.

If someone could find me a 1920s style cloche in a LARGE SIZE I would kiss them.

Will keep an eye out. I've got the opposite problem. My head is unnaturally small, I can never find hats little enough for me. It's odd considering how large the rest of me is. I hate when people treat hats as if they are one size fits all, cause they're so obviously not.

Aretha's hat has reminded me of something that bothers me for no good reason: use of the kinda branded term "bedazzled" to refer to whatever the proper term for that sort of thing is. (Applique, I guess?)

I don't think it's because I want to preserve some snobby distinction between a "proper" applique and "tacky" home-Bedazzler action (though that might account for some of the weirdness when it comes to a televised inauguration-hat) -- I think it's more that I'm surprised that a brand hardly anyone likes or uses (Bedazzler) can still use TV to get so far into everyone's consciousness that its name takes over the whole idea of putting appliques on things.

Oh wait, sorry, maybe I'm wrong here -- applique isn't quite the most specific word for it, is it . . . I guess the absence of a common word for it is why "bedazzled" gets to sneak in. But as a thing to do to clothing it's surely a hell of a lot older than the brand!
