Chapeau Evolved

Who knew that something made on a whim could have such an impact? The object in question has gone beyond it's mere made-for-Vegas roots. In fact, a version of said object will soon be featured on Uncommon Threads and yet another version will hit your newsstands in Spring 2007!

What the heck am I rambling on about now? Well Miss Kendra's Hat of course!

In the beginning there was acrylic and CHEAP tulle...





I'm ready for my closeup Mr. DeMille...

All grown up in in green wool and slightly more expensive tulle...



And now this little diddy has completely interchangeable accessories with absolutely no tulle at all!



(Check out the happening Pringles-can-wrapped-in-scarf hat display.)

Accessory numero uno! A spider web netting...





Complete with black widow spider pins for easy attachment to chapeau!



Wait there's more!

Accessory numero dos...

A whittle birdie pin for when your feeling a little less goth and the need to spread your wings!



And finally still feeling flighty, yet in an oh so delicate way?

No problem. Pin on accessory numero tres...

The dragonfly!



I know, I know! You were thinking steaks and eyeballs for accessories. I tried to sell the idea to the publisher. I really did! However, they were really looking for accessories more appealing to the general public.

Sheesh! No accounting for taste...
