The King of Soul

The inaugural hoopla has died down and it's back to business in our nation's capital, but I wanted to pause just once more for a little reflection on the day.

Looking back now from a different angle, let's take a moment to remember the fashion statements. There was Michelle in her lovely gown, the girls in their darling J.Crew coats and scarves. And then there was Aretha in her millinery splendor. Lordy, I loved that hat. And I never want to forget how resplendent it looked against the backdrop of that historic day.

So I thought I'd let the King of Soul try it on and post it here so I would have a lasting souvenir.

  3. Now that he's got the hat, if you could get him to belt out a tune in 'Donkey Bray' of the National Anthem you could make a fortune.

  5. Hilarious! I read that thousands of those hats have been sold since Aretha sported it on Inauguration Day. I'm glad to see that George scored one!

  9. I want to see it on Wynona. I really do.

    I thought that hat was awesome too. Some of the commentators sort of snickered at it, but I thought it was perfect for Aretha and the Inaugaration Day.

    Is that George?

  16. I missed the inauguration because I was working horses. With all the time we've missed due to my recovery I didn't dare miss anymore work and I worked my tail off. I think I slept through the inaugural balls that night....

    My point is despite missing it, I've gotten several glimpse of this lovely chapeau. I must admit, it looks the best on your goat! LOL
