The King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf, wears absolutely the best hats EVER. Forget Royal garden parties, royal weddings, Philip Treacy, or the Kentucky Derby. The King RULES. Heh =) **
Monday!
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
We have split up the publishing duties, but we welcome everyone in IAN to do daily diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
If you'd like to be part of the Itzl Alert Network, please leave a comment asking to join, or send us a message asking to join. We'd love to have you. The bigger our network, the less likely someone will be stranded all alone.
For your Monday morning enjoyment, I present a gallery to delight the eyes, thrill the cranky, and send those fond of hats into wriggly paroxysms of joy. This is a man who can wear a hat. Any hat. And look content and kingly while sporting all manner of headgear.
The Medusa hat.
He looks divine in pink =)
Bunny hat, or perhaps an Easter bonnet
He understands the importance of shading one's fair complexion when outdoors:
A lovely garden party hat =)
Sometimes, affairs of State should be addressed while wearing a lampshade hat:
Lampshades are not just for party wear
One might suspect that the King has a good sense of humor:
Take me to your Leader
But the Saudis clearly do not. However, we pretty much already knew that:
The Saudis are not amused
He is aware of the importance of protecting oneself from those who might invade brainwaves:
Perhaps he was meeting with one of our House Republicans??
And that occasionally, practicality is key:
Glen the Plumber needs one of these =)
In closing, as Christmas approaches, this seemed appropriate:
And a merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
Do you wear hats? When? What kind?
**These images of the King have all been photoshopped =) And you knew that. But we could dream =)
