Top Your Head With Straw

I don’t know if I’ve been watching too much Nashville Star lately or what, but it seems everywhere I turn, women are in cowboy hats.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been accompanying my friends to a couple country concerts this summer — I am the cute accessory for my friends, by the way; the cute accessory that sighs because no matter how cute Rodney Atkins is, I can’t get over that twang — and cowboy hats are easier to carry into the venue then a horse and lasso.
But it’s not just country crooners getting into the act. I’ve seen them everywhere I turn — stores, pictures of backyard barbecues. The only place I haven’t seen this khaki-colored accessory turn up is in my own closet — and that’s only because I’ve threatened to defriend anyone I know who leaves one of these hair ruiners in my house.
If you’re wearing this straw hat, then take it off, you’re going to end up with some sort of hat hair. Not as bas as a baseball cap, perhaps, but there’s a good chance a small curl will get stuck in one of the small holes and then you’ll be stuck to your hat.
Ye-haw. Sounds like it’ll hurt.
Sure, you can keep a brush nearby to tame your mane, but how about you leave the hat home and try some other Southern-fused accessory — like a large belt buckle. It works for the men and gives ladies an excuse to check out their, um, belt buckles.
