{Bumping Up} My Iron Law of Hats: "Men look cool in very few hats. Women look cool in all hats."

Your Say

The concavities above her collar bones are where she keeps the oil and vinegar.

All I know is, I got two stylish distinctive Western-style dress hats. When I wear them I get lots of compliments. The chicks smile and say nice things to me. It's a conversation starter. The dudes say nice things: "cool hat, dude".

To the dudes I wanna say "Get your own then. C'mon, whattaya waiting for? I've shown you the way." To the chicks, I wanna say "Thanks. Good enough to go out with me?"

But I'm too polite. I still haven't learned the art of tipping my hat to the ladies. And when I don't wear my hats, I'm just another nobody.

Still waiting for my trend-setter ship to come in. In the meantime, remember, chicks dig dudes with style and flair, and a cool and daring and stylish hat's a good way to show it.

Oh, there's one other secret. Wear a hat, you don't need sunglasses. So the chicks talk right to you, and you look right back at 'em. Sunglasses are a standoffish barrier to socializing.

First off.. That lady is a dude... those are male collar bones and the chin is hiding the adams apple on purpose... Secondly why would I care what someone thinks of my hat or hats..?

Being a committed meat eater I don't normally go all out for salad but if she comes with it, I'll make an exception.

Your iron law has tangled syntax. It should be "Very few men look cool in hats" - which is because very few men under the age of 70 have ever seen a man who knows how to wear one. Most kids up to their 60's equate "hat" with "beanie" - if a ball cap has a bill, turn it around so it doesn't show.

Like John Fleming, I've got a couple of hand-made hats, and I can't wear 'em without compliments. Hell, I even get remarks when I wear a newsboy snap-brim tweed cap. The secret is, get it looking good and then forget you're wearing it.

And like Bill Henry, I'm pretty certain that salad is on a tosser.

Wait. I've seen this vibe too much, and it finally clicked for me. This is a pickup from the nancies (e.g. Cary Grant, A. Lincoln, etc, they're one of us). Always claim that a good-looking chick is a dude when there is not obvious and dispositive evidence to the contrary. It's got about three layers of meaning and several more hidden. It's very rebellious. Nicely done.

Hey John... Not sure what you are saying..

I'm just saying looks like a dude to me.. not that it matters because Mrs. Henry certainly does not, so I don't have any skin in the game..

Carmen Miranda...how soon we forget. Pity.

I've got a couple of Borsalino hats that I wore as rich young banker 30 years ago.
They don't work so well with shorts a polo shirt and crocs.

Hey Bill, I've just seen this around the Intert00bz in too many places. Put up a pix of a pretty chica, and invariably somebody gonna's make a comment that she's a dude. At first a couple people do it to be off-the-wall crazy, then other people like the craze and imitate it. Then people start doing it because it matches something ineffable in the gestalt of the milieu. Then other people say "Hey, wait a minute. Why're everybody doing this?". And everybody says "I dunno, I just like doing it." Like Pepe the Frog. (What?)

If you go to the site, there are other pix of the model, where it's more difficult to make your claim. Unless of course they broke out the Photoshop, which in this Age of Fauxity it could very well be.

Looks like a dude to me too.

Posted by: James at September 22, 2016 5:29 PM

Its not about the hats... The hats are a Trojan Horse... Its about getting everyone to automatically accept the Tranny as a woman model and.. Oh by the way look at the hat too...

That Dude looks like a Lady

We used to know a dude who looked remarkably like that. He had no trouble getting picked up in gay bars.

When I first saw the photo, the first thought that went through my head was "transvestite!"

Posted by: Grizzly at September 23, 2016 5:41 PM

That is a tranny, and not a GM 2-speed Powerglide.
