[QUOTE=Dolores Reborn] No problem. I do have a problem with **Tarragon918** ’s answer to #8. I’m gonna take your first answer, cloche hat, instead of your second answer, bobbed hair. You can’t have both! 🙂 [/QUOTE] Cloche hat is fine … especially since I see it’s getting more matches. 😃 My daughter was right … this time. 🙂 ETA: my grandmother was a “flapper” - I’ve seen pics of her dressed up in the flapper clothes, and I have a little suede, beaded purse of hers … such an interesting feud; even if you have to google for the answers, it’s great stuff to find out about! 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/23-ski-feud-by-twickster-its-not-about-skiing-closed/454358.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/23-ski-feud-by-twickster-its-not-about-skiing-closed/454358.md?page=3)
