Cynthia V & other h-costumers: Thought you might enjoy this pic forwarded to me from a friend. It's very much like the "Fram Air Filter" hat seen in a Rogier van der Weyden's Madelena seen here: http://pintoresfamosos.juegofanatico.cl/images/van_der_weyden/magdalena.jpg Like the original sender, If find it amusing to compare the Madelena & the local mayorial candidates politicians. PS. for non-US folks, the "Fram" reference is to a car part formerly made in the US. --cin Cynthia Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi guys... I know I've had a discussion about a weird period hat with some people, but I'm not sure which of you I've discussed it with (maybe someone else...). In any case, I thought you both might be interested. <snip>... In today's Mercury News, there's a photo of two guys sucking up to the Vietnamese vote in San Jose, and they're wearing "traditional Vietnamese garb" -- including hats that look a _lot_ like the one I was mentioning above. They're out of some kind of brocade rather than the linen that the 15th c. one looks like it's made of, but... Here's a url for the story; the picture is part way down on the left side: http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/politics/elections/13802934. htm It just seemed to me that if one found out how the Vietnamese hats were done it might offer some ideas for the 15th c. ones, too. Hope this is of some use... If anyone knows an address for Cynthia du Pres Argent, she might be interested too. --Matt _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
