It Hat to Happen

Aretha's hat was a mandatory topic for late night comics, bloggers,and the news media but, it was also a hit with some serious fashion plates.

Detroit's own Luke Song is the designer and now famous maker of her hat. Mr. Song's Millinery is located in downtown Detroit.

I've never heard of his store but, I'm not a hat wearer. He states his designs are mostly for African-American church going women. Aretha has been a long time client of his.

Mr. Song has already taken hundreds of calls for orders, for this hat, from all over the world. At $179.00 each, I'd say he's found his "pet rock".

Of course the Internet picked up on it instantly. There are Flickr groups for you to submit your photoshopped picture of pets and people wearing the hat. Check out Fightin' Mad Mary's dog Day-Z rockin' the hat.

So, as I said in yesterday's post, I don't like the hat, but there seems to be many that do. Hats off to you Aretha, Queen of Soul, and now hats!

( I Obamiconed her and her hat ... go Obmicon yourself)
