DELUSIONS!

[erastes]

You know - when I put on my winter hat - I fool myself I look like




But the depressing thing is that I REALLY look like

I have the same delusion.

I used to have the most beautiful (shock horror) long real fur hat - god knows what hapened to it, and I really did believe in the Lara delusion, but i fear I looked like the beaver it belonged to. Big hats are worse, I look like Paddington.

I look like Benny, too. Only not as pretty.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Pish. You are too skinny to be Benny. You could be Miss Diane. Is that Noel Gordon in your icon?

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

Not quite but nearly.It's the lovely Sarah Badel.

I'd be honoured to be Miss Dianne.

I look like Benny would if he was wearing the furry hat. Which is probably even worse.

My mother hates wearing a woolly hat because *she* says it makes her look like Compo.

Me, I don't care. As long as I'm warm. And I have the The Hat Called Spock anyway.

Very nice!

I found a hat, which I think belongs to the same ex-housemate that I suspect of absconding with my favourite black pirate shirt. It's warm, so I shall wear it into town no matter how silly it makes me look.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

That's the bulldog spirit!

When the going gets tough, the Brits go shopping!

[gweneiriol.livejournal.com]

I too have this delusion. However, as long as your hat brings you joy, I hope you enjoy it! :D

[erastes.livejournal.com]

It is very very warm, so I am thankful

[essayel.livejournal.com]

I have NO illusions about how I look.

Which is just as well because my hat is identical to the one Benny is wearing.

Julie Christie, eh? She has far too much skin showing for a Russian winter.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

It's hilarious how many people remember Benny. Or a reflection of all the ancients on my flist.

I pretty much have to wear a "cloche" style furry hat, with a good brim. Anything with no bring that's just, well the same shape as my head I look ridiculous.

I've got a spectacular looking grey furry hat just now. Teamed with my miliatry cut overcoat and my heeled boots I just need a sabre and I'm ready to advance on Moscow.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Your hat sounds very nice. I wants.

We can advance on Moscow together!

LOL - this is why I only ever wear a headband - keeps my ears warm but lets all my hair poke out the top in a style reminiscent of Kylie circa 1990 XD

*giggles*

Pat Cash in the snow!

I think I made that hat in the second pic! My kid went off to school today in a hat crocheted by his mother. I suspect he stuffed it into the pocket of his backpack the second I was around the corner. But it was made with love!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

If so he has no taste. Woolly hats are the cool.

[sarahblack5.livejournal.com]

tha's what I told him! Even if they make your hair stick up in every direction!

My hat, when I wear it, is a modified aviator's cap, close to the skin with flaps, with fur lining (real fur, it makes my coworkers MAD, for they all belong to PETA, but I do not care, for my ears are warm when it is worn). Most of the time, I just pull up the hood on my long black coat and look like a slightly tall hobbit, however.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I used to have one of those, with non fur inside - but goodness knows what happened to it! I loved it, it was so WARM.

[clarelondon.livejournal.com]

Um... just how worrying is it that when the second picture started appearing, I knew who it was even before it'd fully unravelled? LOL. Oh, my misspent TV youth....:).

[erastes.livejournal.com]

i would have thought you were too young!

[clarelondon.livejournal.com]

*smirk*
It's careful dressing, my dear...LOL.

I used to do my early homework in front of Crossroads every evening. Actually, thank you for provoking some fun family memories, Sis and I were chatting about it earlier tonight :).

My hat is fleecy rather than woolly, but I don't care what I look like. I wear it winter, spring, autumn and sometimes in the summer as well! Though now we've got a heater in our section of the warehouse, maybe I won't need it quite so much as I did...

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Warehouse? eeek! In this weather! *smothers you in Eider down.*

[tiggothy.livejournal.com]

The boss came down the other day, looked at the thermometer & said "You've reached double figures!"
...but yes, it is usually fairly cold at my work :-) I've learnt which of my t-shirts fit under which...

[lareinenoire.livejournal.com]

I think everyone has that delusion with winter hats. I managed to have it with a winter coat...

[erastes.livejournal.com]

This is encouraging - I seriously thought it was just me!

Perhaps we should have a Benny Off - and see who looks the silliest.

Late in 2003, I saw the most gorgeoous wool/cashmere winter coat in a shop. I agonised over it for weeks because -- contrary to all rules of pragmatism and general utility -- it was pure, winter white. Every time I looked at it, I'd hear 'Lara's Theme' in my head. Seriously. I thought I'd wear it and feel like a glamorous escapee from Doctor Zhivago.

It's still a lovely coat and I wear it out if I'm dressed up. But Julie Christie, I most assuredly am not. ;)
