Noeul (노을) was a thin silk worn along with a traditional Korean hat (most of the time jeonmo) to hide the woman’s face. It’s usually made from black colored silk.

I could totally go for that today.

(I have veils on my mind these days, as well as privacy in public spaces.)

CLASSy -- Tear Drop -- SBS 260719
https://youtu.be/dLI56qLFlko?si=vk-cc5GsMFMFb7_u

I'm posting this "Tear Drop" stage less because of the song, which is neither terrible nor particularly memorable, but on account of its providing me with an opportunity to write a few words about hats in Kpop performances.

This stage show one idol wearing a cap and another in a pillbox hat. I strongly prefer the latter to the former. For me, the pillbox communicates elegance and style, whereas the cap evokes the everyday world of running errands on a bad hair day.

Although I have never and will never wear a cap like this, I can understand the cap's practical appeal. Yet this down to earth practicality damns this headwear style for me when it comes to styling for the Kpop stage.

I want a stage by virtue of song, dance, and styling to enchant me by dispelling the humdrum quotidian if only for a few minutes. The cap, with its suggestion of the casual and the careless does the very opposite. The pillbox casts a spell; the cap breaks it.

It was an honor to help Ashlah Satini sell some of her amazing, handmade #hats at the Colibri Spirit Festival last week. Her creativity, dedication to the craft, and absolute commitment to truth inspire me to be a better artist and human being.

The kimono is by Paola Piker, who made it by hand from a special organic cotton blend. And the photos come from the skillful eyes and hands of Diana Might.

I am infinitely grateful to work and be friends with such talented & #conscious artists! 💚🔥

When did men in Western countries stop wearing #hats and why? How many #jobs were lost in the hat #industry and how many were created in #shampoo factories and barber shops because once visible hair became a thing, it needed attending to?

I have so many questions.

Ah, the classic #scholarly debate: do #Transformers need more than one shiny hat to party? 🤖🎩 Spoiler alert: apparently, someone thought it was worth 2606.04032 pages to answer this. Meanwhile, the real question is, how many #projections does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 😂💡
