One couldn't, I'd be falling about laughing, just focussing on their hat.<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-29326403310522096212010-06-19T17:17:36.277-02:302010-06-19T17:17:36.277-02:30I hope I'm not supposed to take it seriously, ...I hope I'm not supposed to take it seriously, but think of it as totally whimsical and odd and fun. Not that I'd walk around with it. I'm not quite that desperate. But I suppose you can't show up with the same conventional hat all the time, although you could pick something more flattering.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-60899519841629781962010-06-19T12:39:24.030-02:302010-06-19T12:39:24.030-02:30Stan:

Lo...What is the obsession with humans and hats??? <br /><br />Love the photo! <br /><br />All 4 look utterly ridiculous, not because of the funny hats they are wearing but what the hats represent and how each and everyone of us interpret this fascinating head gear....<br /><br />humans are funny species!Nevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14695297829881237662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-18560125800516322562010-06-18T12:30:52.402-02:302010-06-18T12:30:52.402-02:30LOL! 3 out of the 4 are ridiculous.

The midle-eastern headgear (can't remember the proper name for it) is at least practical. <br /><br />I remember a guy in our office, back in the UK, many years ago, acquired one such piece of headgear to wear at certain times in the summer when the blazing sun hit his desk (in a glassy tall building) at a certain time of day, at a certain time of year....before the days of air conditioning. ;-) We thought it creative and very sensible.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-52363595818697886072010-06-18T08:35:07.221-02:302010-06-18T08:35:07.221-02:30The white veily-thing is the only intelligent wear...The white veily-thing is the only intelligent wear in a hot climate - I hear that it was around 54 celcius in the middle-east today.

I did have one and sport it many a time years ago. It was a beautiful felt and my mother saw it in McBirneys on the Quays in Dublin (remember them?). She phoned me at work to say go try it on at lunchtime! I think I paid £2 for it!Grannymarhttp://grannymar.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-1014534250688425682010-06-18T06:01:04.474-02:302010-06-18T06:01:04.474-02:30The pink hat is probably a disguised radio receive...The pink hat is probably a disguised radio receiver.
