“As luck would have it, I happened to have a top hat that I previously wore to my junior prom.”
“Finally I went and found my hat and skewered it on my head with a four-inch hat pin. I wore the hat because I knew my mother never visited without one. The pin I thought would be a comfort in case of emergency.”
“Just my luck, on top of everything else I had to take baboon medicine.”
“But hell would have to freeze over before I ever wore a dress.”
“I almost felt embarrassed to have to ask. Alex had defied logic and time. I was lucky to have gotten past my junior year with a B+ average.”
“(About her first job as a fashion model in New York...) It was mostly hats. I was too short and my breasts were too big, so any fantasies I had about modeling in New York literally went to my head. I wore hats.”
