National Hat Day
by Jannika Forester
From protecting your noggin, to separating Tweedle Dee from Tweedle Dumb, completing the golf ensemble, or hiding your receding hairline and/or hideously deformed skull after that childhood accident, hats are by far the most useful and stylish of accessories, much like how hemp seed is nature’s most nutritionally complete food. Ever. Maybe that is
why hats come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. Yup, you can find just ‘bout any type ‘ah hat – fish hat, mesh hat, cowboy hat, piece of dog poop on your hat hat… I know that was a solid Bubba Gump, you don’t have to tell me.
So, in our tradition of recognizing the most non-events of events (c’mon, we’re a party company), we tip our hats to National Hat Day!
Yes, that’s right. National Hat Day. This holiday – it’s unofficial; you still have to go to work, don’t get excited – is as seasonally timed as it is attired. Did you know that the majority of a person’s body heat escapes through their head? What better way to trap that heat then to top off your top? Hat Day rules!
