Ah, nostalgia.In 1937-38, Elsa Schiaparelli, in collaboration with Salvador Dalí, created a shoe hat that has surprised and bemused ever since.
A shoe hat also makes a most appropriate appearance on a surreal character in Terry Gilliam's movie Brazil (1985):
I tip my hat, er, shoe to Eric Tibusch's nod to the proud surrealist tradition...
...or might that be an oxymoron?

Love the shoe hat! Elsa did it best, I think :-)
Agreed!
Hi, We've just 'tagged' you on our blog, please don't feel obliged to take part, but if you'd like to it's fun! Holly x
Hi there Margaret! I can go pretty far out there, but as cool as I think it is, I could never wear a hat like that. Could you? Wondering, Darlene
I've worn similar (a small hunting horn wrapped up in my hair) for a New Vaudeville show, but it would probably need to be special, not down the street.
PS Hello Darlene! <3
Darling Holly, I'm honored! I wish I could cooperate, but I don't believe it would be wise or possible at this time.
Congratulations on your recent nuptials!
