But I have to say I was very impressed by the sheer presence of The Hat that was wearing Aretha Franklin. Let's just take another look at that baby:

The rumour is that The Hat is the work of the Mr Song Millinery in Detroit. Of course, I had just had to take a look at the birth place of such a superlative affair. Athough I could find no sign of anything quite like The Hat, this came close.

There are also many other fine pretenders to The Hat (I would show you but Blogger image loader seems to have had it with cooperating for the day. *sigh*).
But The Hat is special and therefore one of a kind. I guess.
