Timeless Fashion

[inquireof_liz]

It's no secret that I feel the hat is a vastly underused and/or misunderstood element of today's fashion. As I was asked for advice regarding this matter, I thought I should share two simple rules as a public service

SAVE ME THE SPERM HAT!

I'LL EVEN LET YOU STAPLE IT TO MY HEAD! DON'T WORRY! YOU CAN'T DAMAGE ANYTHING!

[timeagency]

It's true. You can't damage anything by stapling a hat to his head. I speak from experience.

Yeah, he's got some weird kinks...

[oh_doask]

DO IT BEHIND MY EAR!

DO IT!

HARDER!

Shit :-( It doesn't hold.

[ask_aboutcoffee]

I have superglue!

Or a nail gun.

Ma'am, you truly are the mother of our country. This is sage fashion advice for any sartorial display, but especially relevant to hats.

I will admit in my callow youth even I made some bad choices in hats. No more! I will print this out and put it in my wallet next to the article about matching textures.

[ask_captainjack]

That's a bad ass hat. I bet it goes with a bad ass choker.

[ask_aboutcoffee]

Well, if that punk David-Lloyd is not going to give my damn choker back, he can have the hat to match so he looks like the obvious berk he is!

[ask_captainjack]

RIGHT ON, KID.

Don't take shit from Welsh celebrities!

The one with the exploding brain? Excellent point, Your Excellent Pointency.

I've had a slow gunshot wound to the head and it would have made a terrible hat.

[inquireof_liz]

Well, you don't have to go quite that far to prove my point, but the verification is appreciated.

[gwen_e_cooper]

It was my duty, Your Majesty.

All in a day's work!

[ask_captainjack]

I am pissed that I have to wait 40 more years before feathers in men's hats become fashionable again.

Why do the chicks get all the fun?

I complain a lot to Beatrice and Eugenie when I try on their hats. Those two understand me!

[inquireof_liz]

It's true. The options for men's haberdashery are very limited. You'd look very striking in a feather hat, Jack. But then, you always look very striking.

[ask_captainjack]

Thank you for noticing, Liz!

It's my eyebrows, huh? They're so pointy and perfect.

[inquireof_liz]

I've always admired your pointy eyebrows. They're very naughty.

[timeagency]

Thank you so very much, ma'am. I am going out to shop for a new hat forthwith. Or maybe a little after forthwith. Depends on Andy since he seems quite concerned with the foundation garments beneath the new dress. (But he's like that...) I do hope an occasion will arise wherein I can wear my full ensemble. It's going to look just wonderful!

[inquireof_liz]

I'm positive you'll look lovely, dear. You already have an excellent fashion sense. That dress looks like a real knock-out.

[dontask_pcandy]

Er, the hat is also important Ma'am.

*psst T, why did you tell everyone that? people'll think I'm a sex maniac or something*

*shouldn't some of these hats be called "fascinations" rather than "hat"?*

[inquireof_liz]

Hat does seem too proper a term for whatever some of these things are. I certainly wouldn't put them on my head!

Don't fret about having a healthy interest in sexual activity, young man! It's very proper at your age.
