Update on Aretha's Church Lady Hat
Are you one of those folks who just had to have a hat like Aretha Franklin wore to the inauguration?
The news isn't good. Luke Song, the milliner who designed the controversial chapeau, told the Houston Chronicle he got so many orders from around the world that he has exhausted his supply. The wait will be at least a month for a similar hat that costs $150-$250.
"I’d thought I would just get a mention in the local newspaper, but I never imagined this,” said Song, who runs his family business, Mr. Song Millinery. “I knew it was going to be a momentous occasion, but this is mind-boggling.”
Hm...Can't wait to get one? Do what my friend, Gail, did for me. Photoshop the hat onto your photo. What do you think? Is it me? I don't think I want to get into a contest of "Who Wears It Better" -- Aretha or Char. Sorry, it's a little fuzzy, but so am I on a Friday afternoon.
