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.

I'm trying to decide how to feel about that. On the one hand, it's cute in an "overdone, big sister of Hot Topic stealing her clothes" kind of way.

On the other hand, I'm...just not sure. It almost feels like the hat itself is trying too hard (and the sell text was scary).
