Poll added to this thread- hat pictures here

Here is the hat that is being voted on - hat #1

as a potential Fedora Lounge Official Ladies Globe Trotting Hat!

(announcer voice here)

A feminine mix of style and decorum, this featured hat has a garden of blue and purple velvet millinary flowers blossoming from its brim and gently displayed with green leaves. Defying gravity, the flowers are lifted off the head to ensure that the ladies hairstyle stays correct and in place during the photo shoot. The hat was made by Pasadena Hats during the 1950's, and was chosen by Vintage Betty, as it was manufactured in California.

For ladies who do not like the color, your pictures can be posted in black and white.

why won't it let me PM you?

is it because I'm 'new in town'?

 

[GwenLake]

Yes, you need at least 15 posts to PM. All you need to do is comment on a few purchases and you'll be there!

I like the hat color. Periwinkle looks good on just about everybody.

 

[Ada Veen]

Hi Betty, did you get my reply?

 

[Vintage Betty]

Ada, got your reply!

Ladies, I apologize. I have been absolutely swamped at work and have been finishing up my day around 11pm each night for the last week and more.

I will try really hard to finish all the collating of info tonight and wrap this up this weekend.

Ada, I got your info, but can't remember if you sent me your wish list.

My apologies!

Vintage Betty

 

[Ada Veen]

wish list

aw, I literally love everything and anything, that's the extent of my wish list!

You are truly amazing organising all this on top of what sounds like a pretty hefty workload.

Drat, I missed the vote! Oh well, I love the blue hat, but what did the other one look like? I don't see it?

I cannot wait to see the first picture!!!
Ooo, I have so many blue outfits it will be hard to decide which one to wear! And where to take the pic!

I only posted one hat to start.

The hat I wanted originally was a little scrunched, so I chose this hat instead. It was decided as the hat because I found it first in storage (really fancy process eh?).

I didn't post any other hats because they are in storage and a bit hard to get to.

I figured if the ladies didn't want this hat, I would go and get another, but fortunately for me I was saved from that thankless task.

Gonna go do my hat tasking work.

Hat being shipped Tuesday, September 4

Hat Status

My husband has refused to take a picture of me in the hat :rage: , so it will be immediately shipped to the next local person, probably Lady Day. Now I have months to work on my husband taking that photo or get a friend involved.......

I will finish the list, post the list and the travel itinerary by the end of the day.

In addition, I will be including a list of the next six persons on the list for you to send the hat to. Once the hat reaches one of the last persons on the list, I will send the list of the next six addresses via postal mail to one of the upcoming ladies.

***PRIZES REMINDER***
In order to receive a prize from my personal collection, you MUST receive the hat, take a photo, post the photo, and mail the hat to the next person on the list within 7 days. This is on the honor system. I should have your wish list already to plunder my treasure chest.

***BONUS PRIZE REMINDER***
In order to receive one of the "Bonus Prizes" you MUST take your photo in front of a historical building of your choice, or some unique location circa 1920-1950. Historical biographies of the location welcome, but not required.

Whether or not you get a Prize, remember! You are a winner already because you agreed to pose in the hat and post a picture of yourself!!!
