So, I was talking to my sister Melissa the other night about how her pregancy is going. She was telling me about her childbirth class and how they were recommending not buying a lot of toys because kids will just play with whatever is in front of them. “Yeah,” said the other mommies-to-be, “like keys and cell phones.” “Totally,” said my sister, “like how my little sister used to wear a cookie box on her head all the time.”<\/p>\n

Ha! You heard me right.<\/p>\n

I used to wear a cookie box on my head. And I made it look damn good. Nobody rocked the cookie box like me. Nobody. <\/p>\n

It was orginally just used to wrap a teddy bear that my uncle gave me (our family motto: “Don’t Bother With Wrapping Paper When any Ol’ Household Item Will Do”). But, apparently I said “Fuck the bear! Give me the Cookie Box!” Except, I probably didn’t say those exact words. I didn’t really start swearing like a sailor until the age of about 13 or so.<\/p>\n

My sister told her class that I wore my awesome cookie hat for about 2 years straight. Then, on the phone with me she copped to exaggerating just a wee bit. It’s what we do in this family (our other family moto: “Never Let the Truth Get in the Way of a Good Story”). So I don’t know exactly my Cookie Box Hattery Phase lasted, but it was for some time. I mean, isn’t that what all of the fashion experts say? Find the look that works for you and stick with it.<\/p>\n

Somewhere there are pictures of me showing off my forward fashion thinking. I wish that I knew where those photos were. I would totally scan them and put them up for your viewing pleasure. Some inspiration, if you will. Plus, then I could put up more of the totally embarrassing photos that I have of my dad from when he was little and not feel so guilty. But, alas, I can’t seem to find the photos right now.<\/p>\n

So, instead, I present you with a retro look, updated for the Naughty Aughties. <\/p>\n


\nYou saw it here first folks, they’re all going to be wearing these on the streets of Paris this fall.<\/i><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
