Milliners Invade Hollywood: Part Eight

Well, I took Shirley's lollipop away but now she's found herself soda pop and a lot of it! This should be another interesting post.  My co-host is off the rails but let's get started on looking at a few fabulous hats anyway.

Anna May Wong is working that turban! Don't you think she looks beautiful here Shirley?  Shirley: "She looks very sad!".."I think those are wadded up kleenex"  Well if those are tissues all I can say is she's very creative when she gets the sads!

Mary Carlisle looks very fashionable in her beret.  Shirley: "She looks like a mannequin posed to sell over priced jewelry!"  

Brenda Marshal is modeling the latest fashion. Shirley: "She looks like a leprechaun that got all tangled up in a yarn factory!" 

Clara Bow looks very cute and innocent here with her dolly's.  Shirley: "She's not fooling anyone! Once you get a reputation of being a "fun" girl you might as well pose with a cactus and a sword!"  Meoowwww!

Fay Wray is so stylish today! Shirley: "If King Kong had seen her in that there wouldn't have been a movie!" 

Gail Patrick is a stunner! Shirley: "I think there was a song about not wearing buttons and bows at the same time."  I don't think that song was about fashion nor did it go like that. Shirley: "Sorry! Her spurs go jingle jangle."  To quote my dad.....Lay off the soda!

Claire Trevor is picture perfect here in her bonnet. Shirley: "This was her audition photos for Gone With the Wind..They told her to go cover up her cleavage and add 10 more layers of ruffles. By the time she came back Atlanta had already burned to the ground!"  Just one less actress Cecille B. had in his way I guess.

Gene Tierney is working those gloves and her stylish hat.  Shirley: "My mother uses that same hat to wash dishes with." It's road kill with a ribbon!"

Leatrice Joy is fancy in feathers! Shirley: "Those feathers are so heavy they're weighing her down...she can't even hold her head upright!" She's going to wind up with a neck strain for an ugly hat."  Well, sometimes fashion is painful.

A very beautiful photo of Norma Shearer. Shirley: "She is very pretty here. I guess she got my note telling her that the bigger the hat the less they'll notice your misguided hairstyle...Did you see her hair in The Women?"
Yes, I certainly did. Tragic!

Well, I think Shirley's offended enough celebrities for today. For the Clara Bow Fan Club, please direct your letters directly to Shirley. 

Have a great and fashionable weekend everyone and let us know which hat was your favorite.
