The Smithsonian Wants Aretha's Hat!
Filed under: Old People > Fashion Smashion
The Smithsonian in D.C. has asked Aretha Franklin if she would part with her (in)famous Luke Song hat to be part of President Obama’s Inaugural display. The display will also include Michella Obama's ball gown.
But the Queen of Soul is hesitant, saying, "I am considering it. It would be hard to part with my chapeau since it was such a crowning moment in history. I would like to smile every time I look back at it and remember what a great moment it was in American and African-American history."
We know that we smile every time we look at her and her hat!

THIS HAT WAS CRAZY. WHEN I FIRST SAW IT, I WAS LIKE… WHAT JUST DIED ON ARETHA'S HEAD?
But I want the hat. =[
Are they expecting her to donate the thing for free?
Keep the hat Miss Aretha! It has value and probably be worth more in a couple years…:-P
Ugliest effing hat ever.
"Hard to part with my chapeau?"…Aretha, honey, it is not a "chapeau". You live in the USA..it is a HAT…a hat you (over)paid $179 for but I vote you should keep it!
IF and I say IF they took the hat would they have to have it fumigated for Head Lice and that Musty Smell?
Be cool to the Queen of Soul, haters!!
That topper is MAD COOL.
It is an African tradition to wear head wraps in bows, those head wraps are known as African Gele. She's a proud African, KUDOS to the Queen of Soul!

Interesting news, by the way, you can check more interesting article on the forum of ………celebmingle com……….A website where wealthy people &celebrities will interested in.
I heard her singing on the radio in my car and i was like WTFFFF is thissssss??? It was the worst singing I had ever heard in my life. I literally said out loud in this a fucking joke?? And then later i see pictures of how fucking ridiculous she looks in that fucking RIDICULOUS hat!
A bow should never be that big. Let alone be on your head. But I mean I guess it's in proportion to the rest of her body….
If I were her, I would burn the hat because it would constantly remind me of a terrible performance in fro of the world.
that hat is so big, it has its own zip code. aretha herself has her own zip code. she's a city.
Dear 'PIG': I HOPE you're right (thought I'm not a racist/voted for Jessie Jackson for the Democratic nomination for president in 1984/the man actually shook my hand and told me to "VOTE") and I know it's just easier for you BLACK RACISTS to claim such things to help you sleep at night, I hope you're right and I hope Obama ends up being one of the greatest presidents of our time (like I said I hope he proves me wrong and I know you didn't/couldn't understand that part/obviously not very smart are you). So you're Black, and you expect handouts, and you voted for Obama. At the end of the day, when he doesn't pay your bills, you're going to be sadly disappointed. I'm not surprised, but you will continue to be bewildered. Its ok you're just stupid and I won't hold it against you, because in the end I feel sorry for your stupidity and for your being a liberalistic, democratic, pacifist. Thank god for a supreme court and the court of appeals, Obama doesn't speak for us all (of which you are a blind sheep)…
Well it was indeed a moment in history because she was the first hippo trained to wear a hat.
Pulease, Aretha. It's a HAT (a fugly one, at that!). Cough it up, you fucking diva!
