robinsnest: (Tintype)
I went splunking in the hat box looking for something head-like to wear to Longwood Gardens with [livejournal.com profile] mandie_rw this weekend and while I found a suitably boring hat I also re-discovered this hilarious one. It came from my maternal great-grandmother who was supposedly a very chic woman. (By the time I knew her she wore mostly orthopedic shoes). I had forgotten all about it after resucing it from the dress-up box when I first got into this funny dress up habit.

I give you: The Gnome hat

LORDY I need to clean that mirror...at least there's evidence for Rob and my good oral hygiene...if not our mirror hygiene.


Anyone want to hazard a guess in what decade velvet nipple-shaped hats were cool? I admit I'm sorely tempted to make a dress to go with said absurt hat, I just have NO CLUE what that would look like!

Either way it gave me a good chuckle.
