15 minutes: The Aretha Hat

So I'm starting a new segment to the blog called 15 minutes (maybe I'll turn it into a blog) beacuase I <3 Andy Warhol. It's about people/places/trends and whatnot having their 15 minutes of fame. Today's will be about Aretha Franklin's felt hat with the Swarovski rhinestone-bordered bow that she wore to Obama's Inauguration on Tuesday.


Created by Luke Song's Detroit hat shop, this one of a kind gem is not available for sale. while it would cost upwards of $500 (!), the shop is not going to produce the hat for the mainstream.

So instead, the wise, witty and smart-alecy internet population has taken it upon themselves to distribute the hat to the masses.

Oops, how'd this get here?!?

I couldn't resist.

Too bad this isn't sponsorable... it would probably get some major awareness if Adidas or Puma sponsored the clothes...

Another look alike?
