You call it an accessory, I call it a pinata…

Okay, the caption tells us this fashion model is showing swimsuit “accessories.” Nice try. I don’t think this thing counts as an accessory, unless you’re Cleopatra heading for a splash with Mark Antony.

I mean, who goes swimming with a whole pavilion on her head? I don’t care how sexy the bikini might be, folks don’t want to have Miss Hot Stuff flop into the aluminum lounge chair next to them, blocking the rays with a hat that looks like a sundial. 

They will begin to shout rude things, such as: ”Hey Josephine! Does Napoleon know you’ve got his hat?” or “Lady, you got a whopping slice of watermelon on your head!” People can be so cruel. I will say one thing, though. This hat supports my recent theory that designers are now trying to appeal to cats.

This hat supports my recent theory that designers are now trying to appeal to Reuters photographers. How much publicity would this bathing suit have received without the hat?
