Dear reader, I'm not sure what's more impressive: the Versace hat itself, or the sheer audacity of its designer, Gianni Versace. I mean, who needs subtlety when you can have a bright yellow hat that screams "I'm a middle-aged man who still thinks he's cool?"
But let's get down to business. The Versace hat is not just any hat. No, it's a symbol of excess, of opulence, of the human desire to be seen and heard. It's a hat that says, "I'm a celebrity, or at least I wish I were."
I'm not here to trash the Versace hat. I'm here to praise it. To extol its virtues, its grandeur, its unwavering commitment to being a giant, flashing neon sign that screams, "Look at me, I'm a celebrity!"
