Is It A Hat?

Dear Ask A Nanny,
I noticed that in a recent post Nanny Tina, normally a very fashionable lady, was wearing a basket or what looked like a basket. My question is: which was it? a hat? or a basket? And if it's a basket, isn't that in poor taste? Spring in coming and I have a basket here with some yarn in it and I'm wondering if I could wear it.
Thanks in advance,

Dear Ms. Marzolaie,
I haven't checked with Nanny Tina, but you are correct, she is always sylish and tasteful, if somewhat exhuberant. It was a hat, of course. Ladies do NOT wear baskets.
Yours sincerely,
Ask A Nanny

Gwendish! Lemme tell ya what happened. I thought it was my Jackie Kennedy 60s hat that I figured I lost when I moved from Tribeca. But then I saw it and I thought--well--I didn't lose it!

So I put it on.

Then I went to Zabars and saw the exact same hat in the dried fruit aisle waiting to be delivered to a funeral home...

So I checked myself in the mirror behind the lox and ya know---I still looked hot in it!

So I kept wearin it!

Let dat be your motto for life.

Yours Truthfully,
Nanny Tina
