Today I will use my new 1973 Indiana University yearbook to play an installment of Hat Association Game. Here goes.
When I see this:

I think of Miss Mary J Blige:

And this corduroy-clad kiddo:

When I see this:
I think of afghan throws and crocheted potholders.

When I see this:
I think several things at the same time, but one of them is, “Is he really wearing a floral velvet newsboy cap with a tassle ball on top? That takes juevos.” I believe that Lance Gross proves that hat style can evolve for the better.

And lastly, when I see this:
I think of playing poker in what is clearly not a shower cap, but then I am distracted by the chipmunk cheeks of his friend, and I think of Tito Jackson.

And then I think of Tito Jackson in an oversized newsboy cap.

And Tito Jackson in a brown derby.

Which reminds me of the restaurant, the Brown Derby.

Which makes me hungry. So I’m going to head to the kitchen and fry up some free-range eggs. And I know just the hat to wear!
