From 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.

Well I have to join in on the haberdashery. It's just too fun not to comment on. I just learned from Wikipedia that Johnny Carson was also a haberdasher.

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."

Ah, Wikipedia. I've been utilizing it today as well... I've been learning all about the WPA. Which is not as cool as haberdashery.

Woooo, our music is the best! Brag brag brag. Margot is playing in D.C. next month but I have nobody to go with!!!

Aww I'm so jealous! They're not going to be in Kansas again anytime soon. Here's hoping that they do make another stop on their tour, though! I would totally go with you. ::sob::

Also I quite love your Rilo Kiley icon.

Maybe I need to spend the next month indoctrinating someone who lives near me to the joys of Margot.

Why thank you!
