The hat section at Nordstrom—it’s actually “millinery,” but just try calling a department store nowadays and asking for millinery—the hat section was aglow with Easter egg-colored spring straws, and I was trying on some of them. A couple of twentysomethings stopped and picked up a rose-pink number, pale as a sunrise, then an ivory-colored straw and, last, a linen-looking wide-brimmed chapeau. The young women had multiple piercings about their faces. A bit of tattoo crept out from under a short sleeve.

I watched them try on the hats, clumsily, giggling and striking poses as if they were 8 years old. Finally, one plunked a hat back on the rack.

“I couldn’t wear one of these,” she declared. “Everybody’d be looking at me.”

Oh, honey, I thought—you’ve punched holes in your face, and you’re worried that people will stare at you because you’re wearing a hat?

Women will wear just about anything labeled “fashion”: jeans cut so low you could keep them on during an appendectomy, nosebleed platform shoes.

But not that most enticing and useful accessory, the hat.

They actually have forgotten how to wear them. Just look on EBay at the pictures of clueless sellers modeling chapeaus. The elastic band that goes under the hair at the back of the head is described as a “chin strap”—worn like that, it’s more like a garrote, and they don’t even allow those at Gitmo.

For women to forget how to wear that most fetching feminine ornament is as big a catastrophe to befall chic as forgetting how to wear lipstick.

Whatever happened to hats?

Now I love technology, one article can show up in so many places. Perhaps, someday, I'll be paid for my work showing up in lots of places. Until then, I'll keep placing these articles in lots of places. Good for me, http://myitthings.com, and the people I write about. Pretty good networking.  You do post your articles, in DIGG, and all or at least some of the other sites don't you? It's a form of internet "CHIC", I think.  Of course the complete story link, makes everyone's job easier too.  Now I must go see the video!  Are you having fun yet?
