Wish they would come back for ladies like the good old days...they were works of art and so expressive.

They never went away. You only need to know where to look: women's shops that cater to black women who want to look great for church.

Oh I know; I get those catalogs-I would really love to WEAR them!
If I wore any of those hats to church in rural Conn.,people wouldn’t even sit near me....Even in Raleigh NC where I go to visit every Easter and of course we go to church, the only hats are worn by cute litte toddlers.I was so disappointed.

So, when I turn 65ish, I think I’m going to become a crazy old lady just so I can wear hats; already got the cats,already own a Buick and since I developed nerve damage in my feet, I’ve acquired quite a collection of ugly flat shoes from WalMart.
Halfway there!
