Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

And none of my current hats will work, I don't think. Put this on the list for whenever you're down.

Right. Vampire movie, intimidate the neighbors, sun hat shopping. I love our to-do lists.

And now I've fallen down the rabbit hole of searching wide-brimmed black hats on Etsy. [link]

And now I've fallen down the rabbit hole of searching wide-brimmed black hats on Etsy.

Ugh, that's Jan Wahl's hat, Jilli. Don't get that.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ooh, actual bonnets!

Stripey

Not much shade, but it's deliciously whackdoodle

Straw cloche!

Grosgrain ribbon hat

Serious face shade happening here

Way too expensive, a little blingy, but that is one serious hatpin

eta: one more bonnet, with what looks like tea-stained lace trim

And one more stripey hat, in a sort of wobbly optical-illusion vaguely Burtonesque motif

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Bonnets should come back into fashion. Much better suited, ime, to driving and actually getting things done than a wide-brim sunhat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For the first thirty almost forty years of my life I refused to wear a hat, because obvious oppression. But when you go to the Queen's garden party, hats and gloves are mandatory.

Jilli should probably look away now, because I took a perfectly explicit dress code and decided that a hat without a crown and fingerless lace gloves were as far as I was going to knuckle under to The Man.

It was a wide-brimmed black straw hat with my hair peeking out, with a black and white leopard print scarf tied around it, a white pleated cotton sleeveless shift with matching blazer, and the crappiest looking fingerless lace gloves the 80s could provide.

It was not good.

Oddly, I can't remember what shoes I wore.

I'd forgotten how much I love vicarious eBay shopping.

Because books.

I love hats. I have a lot of hats, actually, although they're mostly men's style. I always forget to wear them, though.
