When I was thrifting in Omaha, I made a $.80 purchased that changed my life, my outlook on the world and my perspective on cute: a miniature sombrero. It's true. I picked up this little hat and began to put it on everything around the store, instantly amping up the cute-meter by five points with each switcheroo. How can that be?
Just look:
This little doggy was already pretty cute, but look how cute heis in the miniature sombrero? Everybody say, 'ahhhhh."
You probably wouldn't describe the BVM as cute,unless she was is wearing a miniature sombrero!
And Raggedy Andy? Sure, he is kind of cute in a saccharine kind of way,so in this case the miniature sombrero brings his cuteness down to a palatable level.
Santa is always cute, but Santa in a miniature sombrero is excepcionalmente-cute!
This caroler looks super angry, like she is put out by having to wear the miniature sombrero. And the guy behind her doesn't look very happy that it is blocking his moment. Isn't that cute?
Our Lady of Ventriloquism looks cute too, and I'm sure it's the miniature sombrero.What have we learned?
- Accessories are everything.
- You can have a helluva lot of fun for $.80 in a thrift store.
- Everyone is cute at some point, even the BVM.
- Smile, don't be so serious.
Look for the miniature sombrero to pop-up in future MTSS posts again and again until it becomes so funny you won't be able to stand it. Laugh, my puppets, laugh! De Nuestra Señora de la ventriloquia commands it!
