Speaking of Celebrity culture, Hat Life was asked to participate in a pre-Academy Award event at Universal sound stage in LA. There is a cost, which we thought we would divide among a few hatters who were interested. Vendors get to mix and mingle with celebrities and give away their hats and get signed hats or pix with the celebrities. If you are interested contact me at dfyoga@aol.com. If we don’t get four or five people this week, we will decline the invite. But just wanted you all to know about it.
