Hats off to the Original

Yes, I must have a thing for hats. Not everybody can wear a hat and look good in it. I guess I get this fetish from my mom, the original Mimi. She was a hat model when she was a young woman for a department store. She would tell me that you had to have a certain shape head with a certain shape face to carry of any type of hat-wearing. She told me that I could wear any kind of hat because I fit the criteria. (I'm thinking she was slightly biased) Anyway, I guess that it's in my DNA to reach for hats, to try them on, or in Sammy's case, have her try them on. Or it could just be the size of her melon, because looking back at all these pictures I have of her, I have a lot of photos of her in hats. Here is one of my favorites.
