Hats

Showing off

I love hats. I used to wear them all the time when I was younger and prettier. Not baseball caps or hoodies or beanies, but wide rimmed black hats and white hats and hats with flowers and cowboy hats. My favorite was my Indiana Jones hat — I wore it everywhere until my boyfriend at the time “lost” it for me on purpose.

I like hats on men too. They make them look dapper, a little rogue, and decidedly interesting. But why did we stop wearing them?

I went to the races the other day, first time since I was thirteen and went with my dad and we made $800.00. This time around, I lost fifteen.

A few folks were there with hats, but mostly not.

And Sunday’s at the park, there should be hats there too!

Hats have been around a long time. The Venus of Willendorf, an ancient clay naked woman, is wearing a hat. Otzi, the old guy they found in the Alps, he had a hat. Egyptians wore hats, so did the Greeks.
