If "The Queen of Soul" wanted to have a special hat to sing at the inauguration, she would probably go to a man named Song, right?Well, that is exactly what happened and that is just another thing that makes life - and writing a blog - so fun!
When I was a kid (yup, there she goes again), my mother wore hats all the time - to just about everywhere. We all wore hats to church.
Today, hats are not so popular.
A 36-year-old South Korean immigrant named Luke Song (honestly) is a designer for Song Millinery, his family's business in Detroit. (They sell to about 500 millinery boutiques across America.)
Thanks to Aretha Franklin walking into Song Millinery and asking for a bow on one hat to be placed on another hat to match a coat she had already purchased, Mr. Song's phone is ringing loudly this week!
Mr. Song will not be selling the exact hat but has offered something similar in satin ribbon for $179 and people are buying!
Now, if Mr. Song would just start turning out those plain ties Mr. Obama and his staff are wearing, he could capture the tie market too!
