I have got to get one of those hats. I'm pretty sure it was the hat that won over the wealthy, pampered daughter of a Denver minister.
Now if only we could combine that hat, with the black glasses of the not-so-ugly duckling from the last post!
If you have the hat and add the glasses, you're right! You come up with Johnny Depp!
Thanks for a fun date night. What a fun movie!
