Hey, remember how much you all loved that picture of Hayley Atwell wearing a hat? You know the one, with the suspenders. And the tongue. Fine, OK, and the tank top. Yep, now you remember. Well, Hayley’s jaunty little chapeau got me thinking. Women should wear more hats. No, not like those crazy Kentucky Derby battleship headpieces or those even crazier royal wedding ornamental antler displays. I mean more traditional hats. Your fedoras. Your newsboy caps. Heck, even your top hats. If I wanted to wear a peacock on my head, I’d wear a peacock. But when I want to wear a hat, I wear a fucking hat. Like Queen B above, and these fine ladies below.
Evangeline Lilly
Being stuck on that island all those years really robbed us of valuable time we could have been watching Evangeline wearing a tux and fedora.
Jennifer Jason Leigh
Remember back in the 90s when every movie either starred Jennifer Jason Leigh or Bridget Fonda, sometimes both?
Keeley Hawes
Oh, Kitty, Kitty. You terrible, terrible heartbreaker.
Maria Bello
In the new “Prime Suspect” remake, the big controversy so far isn’t that she’s filling in for the formidable Helen Mirren – it’s that she wears that fedora.
Joan as Police Woman
Obligatory joke about how if she was a real police woman, I’d let her cuff me any day.
Audrey Tautou
If Coco Chanel really made suits like this for women, I would so buy one. OK, not really. I’m a writer and couldn’t afford one. But I’d covet one, that’s for sure.
JD Samson
Who knows, maybe the garrison cap will make a comeback after.
Piper Perabo
They should make her wear more hats on “Covert Affairs.” Yep, definitely more hats.
Marlene Dietrich
Women, men, animals, minerals – take note. Now that’s how you wear a fucking hat.

thank you for the pic of Joan Wasser!
ReplyDeleteshe could cuff me anytime, too!
This is a trend that, unlike tank tops, I cannot get behind. Lesbians wear hats too often as it is... please don't encourage them. :P
ReplyDeleteI think Bello is wearing a trilby (shorter brim) in that pic. Usually only see those "scene" girls in such caps, but Maria wears it like a grown woman with swagger. I like.
ReplyDeleteDietrich, Perabo, Bello – oh my!
ReplyDeleteAnd Evangeline…she makes me quiver. Every time.
If you can rock a hat, ladies, I say rock the hat! If I'm going out a hat isn't an accessory its a necessity! Newsboy, fedora, derby, I would die for a legitimate top hat... Some folks don't look good in hats though so word of advice, know your limits ;-)

If Allison Goldfrapp couldn't bring back the garrison cap, then no one could.
ReplyDeleteOh my lord...excuse me while I go buy 8,000 new hats.
ReplyDeleteWhat no Papi? Lol
ReplyDeleteOh my lord indeed . . . phew . . . speechless, and very, very appreciative!
ReplyDeleteDear Ms. Snarker,
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for your posts everyday. You have no idea how incredibly boring and crap my job is and your blog has really kept me entertained whilst perving on girls and getting paid to do so. I'm happy to say I am leaving this job (whoop!) but I just wanted to say thank you!
That picture of Evangeline was what finally convinced me 100% that I was gay. Soooooo sexy! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteWomen, yes, but everybody. What I don't understand is why nice hats went out of style. They make anybody look classy! Although I think classy went out of style long ago...
ReplyDeleteafter a crappy day at a shitty workplace, your posts are such a treat i feel like i need to ration them ...
ReplyDeletewhich is to say, more Joan Wasser, please!
HHHNNNGGG Keeley Hawes...
ReplyDeleteOh Kitty I will always love you, with or without the hat, I just can't help it.
I love hats especially Paperboys (bought one recently and it's super dapper and I can't stop wearing it)so that Atwell pic pretty much killed me lol.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Audrey Tautou is so amazing in Coco before Chanel and every look was awesome.
But, I'm surprised you don't have any pics of Naya Rivera she can rock a hat (a straw fedora in particular that has been dubbed as the gay!hat in fandom-See Ain't Nothin' but a Glee Thang which has the bonus of her in a tank top) :P
Yep, now you remember. Well, Hayley’s airy little chapeau got me thinking. Women should abrasion added hats.
ReplyDeleteSun Hats
At contest such as fests and bedrock concerts the caps, and the hat affectation stands are about actual accepted than the hat fixtures, so it is no abruptness that on these kinds of occasions we see mostly caps that are displayed.
ReplyDeleteFedora Hats
A lot of helpful data for myself!
ReplyDeleteSome ladies can really pull off a hat. I'm not one of 'em. I look like a dude when I put one on :(
