Hat Season

[legalmoose]

Anyone who knows me in person knows that I hate hats. Especially baseball caps.

Not on other people, mind you, just on me. Baseball caps make me look like Timmy the Chemo Patient™.

And yet, yesterday I willingly wore two hats. Not only that but one of them was bought new.

Adding to the madness was my instructions to my hairdresser yesterday evening, something along the lines of, "It's hat season, and I want my hair really short so I can wear a cap, take it off, run my fingers through my hair, and have it look normal and not all frizzy/matted/icky." She did a good job, it looks good.

So maybe I'm getting over this phobia. I'm certainly trying to.

Pics of the new hat are here.

I think I have a similar dislike of hats (or at least baseball-style caps) on my person. Natually I have a largish collection that I never wear collected from various sources thru the years. I always look like a really large dork with one on. And lords know, I don't need help in that department! :-)

The second pic, (the brimmed hat) especially suits you. Looks most excellent!

Ooh, I like 'em both. But then again, I generally like hats. Except not for me now--messes too much with my spiky 'do.

You need those wrap-around-the-back-of-your-head ear muffs, then. Before this current hat phase, those were my favorite head covering, mostly because they didn't screw up my hair. ;-)

Yeah, my friends with spiky hair all have great things to say about 'em. Except that even though the bands work around my spiky hair, they do interfere with my various ear spikes.

Such a fashion fuss I am!

I think that hats, just like any other accessory, are very subjective and personal. I'm not the greatest fan, but when i'm working on my car, trying to look butch, they get the job done, and they keep the sun/sweat out of my eyes too.

I like the Moose Skully... I think it makes you look cute. The western hat is perhaps a bit over the edge unles you have a shirt with steel-tipped collar points or a bolo tie. : )

Thank you. :-)

The western hat actually looks pretty good with a trench coat and formal clothes (no pic of that, yet).

The only other time I've willingly worn a hat was while running in the rain - have to keep the water off the glasses so I don't fall on my ass running.
