It's a good photo of you as well :-).<br /><br />It's funny -- the pussy hats barely feel political to me, because it's just so flaming obvious a thing to protest!<br /><br />I do find it interesting that after several years away from the political stage, handmade hats are such loud and ubiquitous symbols of resistance. You're right -- the pussy hats in the Women's March were truly a sight to behold. Sewn ones, crocheted ones, knitted ones, ones that were finished in transit to the gathering site and pulled onto a head the moment the last end was finished off. So, so many of them.<br /><br />If it's all right to leave a link, I thought this article from the Globe & Mail (one of Canada's oldest newspapers) was a good overview of the pussy hat's place in history: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/hats-off-to-the-women-the-knitted-pink-headpieces-help-make-history/article33696505/<br /><br />Thank you for mentioning the EU hats. I hadn't heard about those. I shall have to go and take a look!Katherine Hajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270232675026751342noreply@blogger.com
