Another '60s design women around my age mention is the furry snowball hat, with its dangling pom-poms.
Well, last night I saw such a hat in the window of a thrift store.
Fifteen dollars. What a steal for a remembrance of times past.

Sensory memories are like time travel: When I put the hat on, I'm in fourth grade again. Except the one I had in the winter of 1969 was white.
[I started the 365 self-portraits project on my 48th birthday last year: I only have a couple weeks to nudge the number up; but I just counted and surprisingly I've averaged about one every three days.]
That is a Kirk Smirk if I ever saw one.
ReplyDeleteBless you!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie you are! Fashionable beyond words, with a bit of the Tribble about you!
ReplyDeleteCool hat, Fresca! Looks good on you, too.
ReplyDeleteNow all you need is a mini skirt and some white knee-high patent-leather boots, a la Nancy Sinatra, Jr. and you're set.
Oh, no! Now I realize: the hat must be made of skinned tribbles! Eeek!
ReplyDeleteBut I'm sure they only used ones that died a natural death.
I hope this photo doesn't mislead anyone into thinking I'm in the least bit fashionable...
CROW: Did you see that it was "These Boots Are Made for Walking" that kicked-off the whole Star Trek design inquiry in the first place?

Cute! I didn't have a hat like that, probably due to living in mild Washington state, but I remember seeing them on TV. You look like someone enjoying life in the cold. And watching some of the Olympics has me engaged with winter sports, even though it's very mild weather in Vancouver right now.
ReplyDeleteYour blog meme has me thinking...
DEANNA: This is fake fur, of course, but yeah, it is a warm hat. Usually I just wear ear muffs or I get too hot.
