OK. Some of You Liked Aretha's Hat

What do I know? More importantly, what does my mama know.

I made fun of the Queen's inauguration day hat, (as did Ellen), but the store that disgorged it, a la Alien, has been flooded with requests for replicas. So, at least now we know what millions of black grannies will be wearing to church til spring. And—it must be said—blocking out the sun for everyone behind them.

Actually it was an old Patti Labelle hair piece covered in fabric and gems. Never throw out anything.

I liked the hat! She's got to wear something big and a bit flamboyant--that's who she is.

I thought her hat was perfect and totally appropriate...for her; a true and joyous celebration of all that she is...FABULOUS! Over the top? Sure, but she is too!
