Blue steel Cos it makes us look SO much better.

People ponce around in hat depts because it is so unnatural. And they are ALWAYS going to a wedding so they have to buy something crispy and in a shiny shade of peach.

I suspect it is somewhat different in Philip Treacy's shop?

i like the idea of taking a ponce with you.

My head is like a pumpkin so if ever I am in a situation where others try on hats I can excuse myself by perching the first on on top like a pie and then watching them make prats of themselves.

my mother looks like benny in every hat but insists on wearing them

I have noticed that when you try on a(big or posh)hat, people look. Why do they do that?!

Ronaldinhio · 13/11/2009 00:10

do you look like Benny?

That's why I'd look or to see if you were pulling a strange face or sometimes simply bacause I'm a bit jealous that hats don't fit me and I want to see what it's like on you

you know the trend for burlesque hats?
all hats look like that on me

SolosScrapingUpForXmas · 13/11/2009 00:24

No!!! hats and me are great friends! I love them and generally can wear them well

I am not convinced by berets, but now have strange desire to try one. I'm going to London to see friends in a couple of weeks, so will enlist their help to maximise comic potential.

The odd thing is, I have quite a large head, but beanie hats and their ilk seem to have strange shrinking qualities.
