Category: 2018: Eighth Hat

Hollywood fashion mavens take note! My adventures are sorted by the hat I wore that year! This section includes the adventures taken with my eighth hat: a red, tasseled Stetson that my mom sent me from Korea! My brother, Flatty, really liked it, though, and since he didn’t have any hats of his own, I gave it to him for Solstice!
