"In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, the prevailing legal view was that this EIT [ie, torture] stuff was allowed."
George Bush's legal advisor testified that the President had the authority to order, with impunity, the torture of innocent children.
Note also the Republicans were (and some still are) happy to campaign for the criminalization of sodomy between consenting males -- but sodomy carried out by the CIA on suspected terrorists "saves American lives".
That's what I assumed - but all those listed on shopping sites are all furry Davy Crocket sorts [and I've plenty of them] - I'm after the sleek haughty versions. It's a look that suits me but ruins any hair cut when I take it off!
I do love hats. Have about 40 of them. Funny how unfashionable they are generally.
EDIT
The kubanka is a tall rigid hat that originated in the Caucasus, where it was sported by men but is now worn by women. The kubanka is usually made from Persian lamb, which is also referred to as karakul.
The tabletka is shaped like a pillbox but is smaller and daintier and is generally recommended for younger women. Tabletki are made from Persian lamb.
Hell YES!!! Now that gets you an 11/10 for info! Thanxxxx
OT Apols - I know we've a few Russian visitors here and I'm after hat help. What are the ladies ones called where the base is slightly smaller than the top - tallish hats, felt and often with a broach or hatpin needle for decoration? Anna Karenina period.
I had a bunch of these in the 80s and can't find them anywhere/recall the style. Perhaps one of my odder crowd source queries.
I've just got back from Warsaw where a majority seem to wear hats in public ( it was -2C). The beanie seemed to be the most popular but also quite a few trappers ( I bought one myself).
