I totally called it. Aretha Franklins’ hat was such a hit that the Smithsonian Institution is requesting her to donate it for their museum.

“I am considering it. It would be hard to part with my chapeau since it was such a crowning moment in history,” says the Queen of Soul. “I would like to smile every time I look back at it and remember what a great moment it was in American and African-American history. Ten cheers for President Obama.”

I’d be torn, too. It’s too fabulous of a hat to let go, but then gain, it’s fabulosity means you can’t wear it twice!!! Ahh, Sophie’s Choice!!

Aretha Franklin's Hat Is Taking Over The World

January 23, 2009 in Asians, Fashion, Thoughts by Moye | No comments

I love it when something fabulous hits the Internet and then people pull out their awesome Photoshop skills and turn it into a whole amazing phenomenon. (Do you like my use of adjectives? Fortunately for you, I’ve run out.)

Check out Luke Song’s hat (which apparently is a one-of-a-kind and for Aretha ONLY) as it makes its way around the world. Who else agrees that this hat should be donated to the Smithsonian???

All images are from here.

PS. Song IS Asian. He’s from South Korea!! Yeaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Asian high-five!

PPS. You can read Efren’s better post about this here.

Aretha Franklin's Hat

I’m sure you’re all very familiar with the hat that Aretha Franklin wore while singing at Barack Obama’s Presidential Inauguration this morning.

How FABULOUS is this?? I never wear hats, I don’t know a thing about hats and I’m sure hats wouldn’t look on me, but I LOVE THIS HAT.

There is something just so faboo and adorable about it. It’s got a huge bow bedazzled with Swarovski crystals in what looks like a very warm wool material (felt?) cocked at a jaunty angle that’s like HEY EVERYONE. I’M FABULOUS. Aretha’s a diva and can only wear the most divalicious bows.

I would totally wear this. I wonder if Mr. Song Millinery will be making copies anytime soon.

Anyway, is Luke Song an Asian hat maker? If that’s true, this hat is even more awesomer than ever. EVER.
