I am a huge fan of the baseball hat. It is a wonderful accessory. I am probably wearing baseball hats for as much as 80% of my summer every year, simply because:
hat on head = no need to do hair Ponytails whenever possible has always been my mantra. That being said, I am also quite finicky about my headgear. Not all baseball hats are created equal. I have my favorite hats, for sure, mostly because hat buying can be so hit or miss. I refuse to try a hat on in the store because, well, I don't know why. I think it is partly because if I don't like it, I will feel bad putting it back on the rack after it has been on my head--it's just skeevy (like when you see someone trying on shoes in a store without wearing socks!). Then, I think to myself, "If I just tried on that hat and put it back, who knows on what heads that hat has been?" I don't want cooties. But the kicker is, if I like a hat, I buy it--even though it may have been tried on by unknown alien noggins. (Although, I will root around to find one that seems to be untouched by human hands...the virgin lid.) Sometimes, though, what looks like a great hat turns out to be a cranial disaster. Herein lies the point of this whole babbling post. Have you ever worn a baseball hat that made your head fall asleep? Lest you think it impossible, allow me to say that I do, in fact, have one. Whenever I wear it, my head falls asleep. And let me tell you, there is nothing quite like the sensation of a (literally) numb skull. Every few months, I get it out and wear it, as if by some miracle my head has shrunk or re-shaped itself, or the hat has grown in size so that it doesn't make my head fall asleep anymore. And every time, within 10 minutes of putting it on, I think to myself, "Why the hell did I put this hat on again?" Obviously, the last thing I need is something that cuts off the circulation to my head. Sheesh. |
