alexiscartwheelFrom today's New York Times:
Orders for "Aretha's Hat" Flood Detroit Milliner
How cool is it that there are still milliners? Few people wear cool hats anymore; I certainly don't have any. There were a couple of old lady's at my church who had Easter hats last year.
Sadly, there was another article about the death of newspapers. If there are no newspapers, how will I learn about the latest crazes in millinery?
Also, can we bring back haberdashery, just so I can say the word? Fun fact: before he was president, Harry Truman (yes, there were presidents before Barack Obama) was a Kansas City haberdasher. I learned that at the Truman Library, which is actually really cool. If you're every in Independence, Missouri, you should go. :)
ETA: Another one. It's pretty odd that crazy book news from Ohio ends up in a UK national paper, but I'll take it. For the record, I have both been to Kelley's Island and read To Kill a Mockingbird. It's an amazing book, but I wouldn't want to eat it.

It gives me a happy feeling, knowing there's still haberdashers and milliners in the world. :3

That's pretty awesome that your dad buys Indy!Fedoras. :)

Yes. Sometimes I think he's a bigger cosplay dork than me. But he can actually pull it off pretty well. Looks classier than a beanie cap, by far.

Date: 2009-03-13 02:25 pm (UTC)Also I just would like to say that we are awesome with our eclectic music taste. According to the thing I entered our last.fm names into, anything over 700 is "bragging rights."
