just had a mad memory

when i was about 15. i went to a little theatre for am dram,

anyway the youth theatre were doing a revue show, all different scenes, singing dancing etc, and we were doing a dance to david bowie, "ground control to major tom" the director decided that we needed strange alien type hats, so we decided to use rubber swimming caps, and they were to be decorated with sequins, but they needed to be stretched to stick them, my friend tasha and i were the suckers who sat there with the rubber hats on while teams of people stuck on the sequins,

they were using super glue, which at the time was really smelly, and gave a great high,

i believe it took about a day for us to both totally come down!!!!

Thank you ladies - It's nice to see that you are all enjoying them as well - I think my house mate gets a little fed up with it all!!

I had two in the post today - The black and blue ones that sit across the crown of the head - I shall try and get said housemate to take pics tonight so I can show you what they look like on.

May have to take pics of rest of the collection now as well!!

I mainly get them from Ebay - search under vintage hats/millinery
Also some vintage/retro/charity shops
There is also an event here in London at Chealsea Town Hall called Frock Me where EVERYTHING for sale is vintage

I love them anyway - but at the moment they are helping as inspiration for ideas to make my own versions!

There is a possibility that I would need some models, but I will let you all know.

I have just checked the listings guide, am I correct in thinking the next Frock Me is 24th Feb. Shall we make a day out of it and all dress up to the nines.

Yes, Miss Ruby, Frock Me is on the 24th Feb.
I think that is a swell idea - a few of us have it in our diaries and it would be great to meet people properly
