How to wear a 'Pert' hat
help me please Hi guys I have a very dumb question.. How on earth do you get hats to stay on your head, particularly the ones that you wear at the back of your head or tipped to the side? Is it with a hat pin? if so, what do you stick the hat pin into? Thanks in advance!- Claireg

Yeah i was initially attracted to the 50's - I think because in NZ it is very hard to get clothes from earlier than that so that was what i was accessing and wanting to find out more about. Then..

OMG - so excited, look what I just picked up on "trademe" for the equivalent of $20 US!! I am assuming its authentic 1940's - it was advertised as such. I cannot believe she gave it away so cheap. Will take a photo of me in it when it arrives- Claireg

I have been perusing the old threads and found this post.. "I believe that there are presences in some places, though I've never come across one. I have, however, encountered memories.
