I was quite content with myself yesterday, my second post was up and the small few that would read my blog would hopefully find it quite humourous. I went about my business hence after safe in the knowledge that the Panda had been put to bed. Imagine my disbelief then when I found myself face-to-face with another. While innocently mooching around the shops over the weekend I encountered PANDA No2!
At first I thought that from afar it must be either my imagination or the same lady. As the panda drew closer with every step I realised this was not the case. Our beloved bamboo eating bear had a new owner, in fact it wasn’t the same panda at all-they were breeding! After my disbelief had faded I headed straight home to research and yes it seems that Panda’s, Bears and in fact all manner of beloved animals are avilable as head gear.
Cute and quirky as they may be surely this fashion item should be restricted to the under 9s or at the very least for on-the-slopes?
Surely such a piece of clothing cannot be worn with serious intent as surely no-one would take you seriously if you were wearing one?
To prove my point – exhibit A – the beautiful SHAKIRA – sheep on head and a mischievous don’t take me seriously grin on face. Let me know blog world – is this a mini-trend destined to take over?

They’re breeding! On Asos as well: http://www.asos.com/Asos/Asos-Bear-Face-Beanie/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1194742&cid=4174&Rf900=1491&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=200&sort=-1&clr=DarkGrey. And if that’s not to your taste (it certainly doesn’t float my boat) there the slightly more sedate ‘Furry Bear Ears Beanie’. I think the model’s face says it all really. Grim! We are grown women: we work adult jobs (or some approximation thereof), pay our bills, vote etc; we have not worn this since year three and we no longer wish to.

Oh no not ASOS as well, thanks Charlotta for sharing the link, I now feel sorry for the poor model forced to wear this hat!!
