A follow-up to those
etsy Bearded Beanies I posted about two weeks ago. Those were bad enough, but sending a teenager out in one of these Orange Yarn Beards seems downright cruel. They look a bit like mops attached to their faces. If you want to get one, they're
available on etsy. Only $19!
Available on etsy, for those who think their cherub would look just adorable, if only he/she had a beard!
Found this via a blog called
sad etsy kids, which is devoted to collecting pictures of kids who don't look like they're enjoying modeling their parents' creations.
I knew there was another reason to lament the passing of the custom of men wearing formal hats everywhere!
From the 1930s catalog.
The story goes that, during the Battle of the Bulge, Sgt. William Furia (shown) decorated his helmet with some lace curtain as a joke. But then he and his fellow soldiers realized the lace made excellent camouflage in the snow. So the practice of decorating helmets with lace curtains became widespread. Which is how lace curtains became America's secret weapon that allowed them to defeat the Nazis.
Everyone knows that Sikhs wear turbans. But the size of the more ceremonial ones had escaped me.
Thanks to Deborah Newton.
It's not as great as the skunk hat, but it's pretty cool. And using a real turkey might get pretty messy.
