I've seen a few recently, particularly on popular musicians. Is "Fedora" usually capitalized, in other words, is it a person's name or place?Bob Kramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08326531951468411940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-54950545541006309492009-01-24T09:21:00.000-06:002009-01-24T09:21:00.000-06:00I'm not sure, Thomas, but you just may look better...I'm not sure, Thomas, but you just may look better in that hat than Aretha did!<BR/><BR/>I love hats and still don't feel truly dressed up without one. Hats for ladies fell out of favor when the Vatican II (1962-1965) gave women permission to attend church without headcoverings. At that point the demand for ladies hats more or less evaporated except for special occasions (weddings, funerals, etc.). Not that everyone was Catholic but the Catholics kept the demand up until that time.<BR/><BR/>I keep waiting for hats to come back as a fashion statement. I don't understand why they haven't to date. So many other fashions have been resurrected, but not hats. I've got some lovely ones in my closet just waiting...Jasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561520746304048996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-57149150536265542402009-01-24T08:30:00.000-06:002009-01-24T08:30:00.000-06:00Yes, I do grew up wearing hats.

I remember how excited I was to go shopping every Easter for my Easter dress and matching hat. In the few photo's I have of my Grandmother she always had a bonnet on like you see in "Little House on the Prairie. Woman who worked in the fields with their husbands knew how important it was to protect their skin. My Grandmother lived to be 89 years old and her skin was still lovely.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810829851962238025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-6190759452975136792009-01-23T18:37:00.000-06:002009-01-23T18:37:00.000-06:00I was just thinking that you would look good in a ...I was just thinking that you would look good in a hat like Aretha's.
