Apparently, women do not wear hats in the Midwest (apart from baseball caps and the like)
And, you know, those cheese-head hats....
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I have seen a few floppy hats, but not any 40s-period hats, which is what I need.

What? I find this quite shocking. Our heartland ladies are not covering their heads demurely from both gazes and the hot sun?
In my experience, this is much more an East Coast/Southern kind of thing.

I keep switching the dancer back and forth. It's trippy and fun.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
There used to be this fantabulous hat store in boys' town. I wish I could remember where but we always seemed to happen upon it by accident. You had to buzz to get in.

interesting. I have no actual Midwest experience, and hadn't actually thought about hats till DebetEsses mentioned the lack (and I hope you can find a vintage store or something, Debet, because 40s hats are awesome). Odd that it gave me such an instant and strong reaction. Don't know where that came from.

If you think nobody wears hats in Chicago you've never been near the south side on a Sunday.

I went to a concert in Madison last Thursday night. Knit caps seems to be the hot fashion accessory for Madison women....

There are millinars in Chicago. And I thought that there was a store in the Loop where the Church ladies would buy their hats.

I didn't say nobody. I just think it's much more common on the East Coast and in the South.
But, as with many things, I am speaking of my own experience, which means, I'm talking out of my ass.
Also, completely unrelated, my thesis adviser said I am an "indefatigable scholar" in a letter of support he wrote for me. It's my new favorite descriptor ever.
