Had this been a cartoon, smoke would have been pouring out of Vinnie's ears as her mind rapidly kicked into hyper focus, a blessing and a curse of her ADHD. [color=bc8dbf]"You don't even know what you're talking about - that's complete bullshit! Ugh, there's so much lore behind hats that you are completely ignorant of! One of the earliest hats dates back to the Bronze Age and belonged to this dude named Ötzi. His body was frozen like Captain America and found in a mountain near Austria and Italy, wearing his hat! It was this sick looking thing that resembled a Russian fur hat without the straps, made out of several pieces of bearskin stitched together. It even had a chin strap so his chin wouldn't get cold when he was, you know, a popsicle!"[/color] [color=bc8dbf]"Oh and there's more than just Ötzi, in the Middle Ages hats were used for indicators of social status but also to single out different groups, which isn't great and it's frankly terrible that something as cool as hats could be used to mark people who were different so they could be ridiculed or hurt, but your thing about helmetsmiths is so off base it makes my ears bleed! Like did you know that [i]Milliner[/i] comes from a little city in Italy called Milan? That was [i]THE[/i] hat capital of the world back in the 18th century. It was also an occupation open to women! Millinery wasn't just making hats and bonnets - you got to pick out the accessories for the entire ensemble, like lace and stuff! So it was one of the ways that a woman could be financially independent, like the Italian spinsters basically! So hats aren't about keeping men in power, they are literally about liberating women!!!! Like hellooooo the Red Hat Ladies called, they want their recognition back! And don't even get me started on hat pins, one of the most amazing inventions known to [i]wo[/i]mankind!"[/color] Vinnie didn't remember who the Red Hat Ladies were, but she knew their name and it served her point. It wasn't like Cal could fact check her anyways. Her cheeks were a bit red from the passionate speech she had just given and Vinnie paused for a moment. How did she know so much about hats? Was she the Mad Hatter? Maybe she was some sort of hat model or a hat designer? She did look amazing in a hat. That must be it! Just as she had been about to eagerly shout and share that information, something more important happened that talking about being a professional hat model. Luke was pulled out of the water looking dead and Vinnie's eyes widened as she gasped, staring at him. Her maybe-cousin Sophia managed to revive him though and Vinnie let out an audible sigh of relief. She didn't want to see someone else die. [hr] [color=d86615]"Do you want to head on back there, kid?"[/color] Raynor asked, eyeing the roomba. It seemed to have just dried part of Zarina and he hoped she wouldn't let it near her hair. Zarina's green hair could have easily been mistaken for mold, though he wasn't going to tell her that. Her hair was her problem and not his.
