When mainstream fashion borrows from my subcultures

Torrid is selling a mini top hat. (clicky-link!)

::boggles::

On the one hand, Torrid. Selling a mini top hat. What?

On the other hand, that's not a bad price for a pre-decorated sinamay mini top hat. I am considering buying one (and covering it with fabric), because I don't have a mini top hat in that particular size. (I have smaller and larger ones.)

But ... Torrid. Selling a mini top hat. I am perplexed.

Oh, I know they *used* to, but that they've been trying to position themselves as a little more mainstream lately. But even with them carrying the occasional gothy outfit, seeing a decent-quality mini top hat there is surprising.

I do agree that it is an odd find there.

I really dislike the 70s disco stuff they had at the Northgate store 6 months ago. It was Horrid.

Totally agree with this. It's nice if they have managed to find some sense of style again...
