With the current Café poll more than half over, I thought it might be useful to have another, closer look at the Great Mystery. It is undeniably hairlike, and yet equally ottomanische in construction. It has all the hallmarks of a hat - and yet, and yet.I've always been ambivalent about Constance Bennett, and somehow this fashion choice makes me all the more so. She seems like she might have been fun at a dinner party, but you wouldn't have felt good about yourself later.
But the question remains: what the hell is this? Let your voice be heard!
its a human hair pill box type hat...now, what do i win? a night with upen patel???
ReplyDeleteIt's a Victorian ottoman hat made from the hair of passed on loved ones. Normally human hair was kept in memoriam in lockets and wall art but this was a little known way of keeping your long lost loved ones with you wherever you go.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the cat got at the back of it.
