What is it about a girl in a hat? I’ve noticed that if a girl on the street is sporting a cap, there’s a pretty good chance she’s gay. Now I realize that straight girls wear hats too, on bad hair days. But in general it seems that a gay girl is more likely to have an entire array of hats. Everything from your basic baseball cap to your sexier pin striped fedora.
I think we wear hats more often than most because it sets us apart just that much more. In a life where we’re already considered outsiders by most, we’ve become comfortable and maybe even embrace our outsider status. Donning a pink fedora, or an army green Castro is just another way for us to say, “No, I’m not your average girl … I’m so much more.”
When I wear a hat I get twice as many looks from girls as I do with out it. It’s like a signal to every dyke that drives by that, “Hey! I’m gay too!”
On top of that, hats look better on lesbians than boring little straight girls anyway. Why? Because we’ve got the attitude to carry it off. We’re not trying to impress some man with our long wavy hair or fit into some preconceived notion of feminine identity. When we put a hat on, it’s because we like it and nothing else. When a woman acts from a place of self-assured confidence, everything she does seems slightly aloof and nonchalant and then when she walks in a room, you know it. Her energy reaches out and grabs you as she saunters by and you find yourself asking your friends, “Who’s that girl in the hat?”
So on my way out today, I think I’ll grab that new hat I just bought … and see if any one takes the bait.
Oh the subject of lesbians and their fashion is one that could go on for a loooong time.
Hats on a Lesbian girl kicks the sexiness up to hyperdrive!
That’s why I don’t like the hat. Because they are calling for attention. In fact, it shades the person’s eyes. I love seeing a sexy woman’s eyes. The confidence resides there. But if it’s just for fashion more power you to you. It’s what is under the hat I’m more interested in. A beautiful woman who can think for herself. It will say it in the physiology smile and the language. Some lesbians can pull it off some can’t. I can’t pull off the color pink. It’s not what you wear it’s how you wear it.
Haha, I used to wear hats waaaay before I realized I was a lesbian. To keep my hair hidden. Half-an-inch long hair. And all the stuff from Army Surplus Store.
