Vintage black and white photo of folks in a bar, tavern or night club. At our table, bottles of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. The lady smoke Pall Malls; the gentlemen, Lucky Strikes. The other lady has her smokes hidden in her cigarette case or, as we called ’em, “weasel pouch.” Two ladies at our table are wearing hats, as are several gentlemen seated at the bar.
Measures 5 by 7 inches; 1945 ink stamped on back, along with 7-17-28.

Um, that’s a “dopey” hat for baby… We don’t know if your baby has to be dopey to wear it or not. We’d bet that any baby wearing said knitted hat will appear slightly dopey — but in that charming way babies can get away with. Anyway, enjoy the free knitting pattern.
Pattern from 1969 Bernat Handicrafter Learn To Knit Book #127.
Hey, ladies, “buy by the kit and save” when you make your own hats! From Fox Millinery Supply Spring-Summer Catalog 1966.
And, “Fruit & Berry Hats To Copy” — because, unlike Carmen Miranda, you need “new ideas,” and “helpful hints” to make “‘THOSE’ Clever Small Hats.” (Also included, “Make An Easter & Summer Veil Hat.”) From the 1961 Louie Miller catalog.
As Ann Miller clearly explains.
Bad dog! Smoking must be done outside, like your other business.

From Hell’s 400 (1926).
Yup, just plain “high”; no sky. Me thinketh it’s the fumes off the pink and orange polyester — fumes so strong, the hats have shrunk. Which means they could just be retro Burger King employees. (Via Boogie Children.)
I’m pretty sure that’s monkey fur on Evelyn Brent’s hat, shoes, and skirt…
Some days, you’re just sitting around with a couple knitting needles and a few skeins of wool, and you think to yourself, “self, I really should knit myself a viking.” So you go to work, without really thinking about how one would really knit a viking, but you’re a dedicated crafter, and in the end your result looks like this:
And then the entire Reddit world totally freaks out at your awesomeness. (via)
So warns this risque vintage postcard (via A Slip Of A Girl). I’m guessing that artist Tony Roy expected lady’s underpants to be worn as hats at some point in the evening… Which only further drives home the point about imbibing too much. So here’s to a happy & safe New Year’s Eve, for you, your panties and your hats.
PS I love that the “i” is upside down in “liquor.”
