Edgy MD Site Manager Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 So, you've got a date with Nancy Seaver. She tells you that, when you pick her up, she'll be wearing her favorite headgear. Which lid are you hoping she'll be wearing?1. The red leather gatsby.[fimg=300]http://theledgesports.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/20acf9f01c2045575e0e5274e1d4447a.jpg[/fimg]2.

Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 Between the fedora and the big pompom for me. What do you suppose the note in her hand is? A grocery list? Tommie Agee's autograph?
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted November 17, 2016 Author Posted November 17, 2016 I think she's wearing the same monocle necklace in each of the first two shots. She may need the monocle to read the shopping list.
A Boy Named Seo Old-Timey Member Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 If she was gonna wear the red hat from the first pic, I'd humbly request she wear that whole incredible outfit. I think it's a tougher hat to pair, so i'm going fedora.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 I voted fedora too. It kind of has a bit of an Annie Hall charm to it.

Lefty Specialist Old-Timey Member Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 Nobody, but nobody, rocked a floppy beret like Nancy. Not even Mary Tyler Moore.
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 Headband for me. It reminds me of the fun Hippie days (How someone like Nancy who lived in Greenwich was a Hippie is another story, but ... )Big pom pom was a close second. But let's face it, with that punim, anything she wore would have looked great. (Except that red one)Later

Guest cooby Guests Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 Loved that opening scene. I tried that in my elementary school playground but had a major fail. The scarf lady in the background always reminded me of my Aunt Flo so I guess she must have worn scarves a lot
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 In its day, the beret with the pom-pom was referred to as a tam o'shanter.
