(I needed something to shield my eyes from the malfunctioning lobby lights.)

Jim, that is a wonderful photo. I love your mother's suit, I adore her hat and that car in the background is to die for. Shame about the baby, but three out of four's not bad. Seriously my friend, that photo is of a lost time, a time worth recording and remembering.

But let me put on my trench coat and a wide brimmed fedora, and I can handle anything life throws at me.
Er, excuse me, young lady. Do I recall a recent post of a rather photogenic beret, with an equally photogenic model wearing it?

Yes, I like women in hats, but, just as with men, it's got to be the right woman in the right hat (or the right hat on the right woman).

I think many men like women in hats, but don't like sitting behind them at the cinema (now as in the golden era).

My second to last ex-girlfriend regularly wore hats - mostly a beret - and my recent ex wore hats too, including a lovely plum-coloured cloche hat.

Maybe if I can get with a girl who isn't a hat-wearer she might not become an ex this time.

My grandmother looks mighty fine in this hat, circa 1943. My step-grandfather was posted to Ohio during the war with the Royal Air Force, and my grandmum and uncle George spent a lot of time in NYC.

I have to say Men appreciate most Women's Hats. In fact most of the Hats I own have been picked out or purchased by my Husband.

That picture sure does bring back memories. My Mom (93 years old) still has a few hats very similar to the one your Grandmother is wearing in the picture.

Say, are those two Ladies part of that famous Train Robber Gang from the outside of London ? (just teasing).
Gangster's molls, what a wonderful image. The first lady is a modern day songbird name of Caro Emerald, listen to her music, it has a kind of Gypsy Jazz resonance:


The second lady is more famous for getting her kit off.
She is of course: Dita Von Teese.
