I, uh, own one of these hats, but it’s a knockoff from Target. Why? Because its silliness called my name from across the store. They’re not meant to be sexy; just silly. ---

A certain youn lady I know requests a furry hat from santa. I found them at Hot Topic. Wear your ear plugs if you go in the store and don’t stare at the uber pierced tattooed but perky nice employees. ALso thick :“fur” lined bomber hats are also a hot topic. ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > Aye! I’m 6’4" and over 200#… and a guy. I would think the sight of me, in a Jeankini wearing a Spirit Hat with a tiny hat on top, with those censorship-looking glasses, would send even people in Vegas looking for somewhere else to be. 😛 Come on now - you would fit right in. Especially this New Year’s Eve - you have seen what walks around on The Strip on NYE, haven’t you? Now, if you were wearing ONLY that hat and Speedos, well, then you would probably get on TV and be interviewed! ---

My secretaries just thought I was crying… but in reality, I was crying in mirth over that awesome awesome cracked article. Seriously, the dude with the two different eyes. That was the best part of my day!!! ---

I’m going to have to get that for Grandad. They’re perfect for his earlobes. ---

The “baby hats” in the _[Cracked.com](http://Cracked.com)_ article remind me of [this sketch from SNL](http://www.hulu.com/watch/180976/saturday-night-live-ladies-who-lunch)\*. \*My apologies for the ad at the beginning. ---

I see people wearing these all the time, from little kids to adults. I think they are hilarious. ---

So we have a more-or-less general consensus - silly/light-hearted/fun, but not sexy. ---

> [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > So we have a more-or-less general consensus - silly/light-hearted/fun, but not sexy. The closest I could even imagine to sexy would be kind of like a guy with a baby or a puppy. More of a chick magnet (Ohh, look at the cute fur hat, can I pet it?) than sexy. ---
