Have some Sombreros!

Man in sombrero by Diego Rivera

Thought I was done with hats?  What else could I possibly have under mine?

I have had the pleasure of visiting Mexico on two occasions.  The first time I was near Cancun at Playa del Carmen, and more recently on the Pacific coast near Puerto Vallarta, at Nuevo Vallerta.  Anyway, the first time I visited there, I couldn't leave without bringing home my very own sombrero -- even if it meant some creative rearranging of my suitcase to get it to fit in! I don't know why I felt the need to have it... but it was just so Mexican!




Well I happened upon this video done to Allan Sherman's The Hat Dance and I had to share it with you!

Of course that video brought back fond memories of this one by Battlemarchmedley.

I really love it!

Occasionally while researching these crazy posts of mine, I come across little gems I didn't even know existed... such as this song by ABBA.  The video is fan made, but looks very much like a music video from MTV.

Put on Your White Sombrero / by ABBA (video by RJS)

Here is a singer I enjoyed listening to in Mexico who is sporting an authentic sombrero.

I've seen better looking guys in a sombero.

Richardo Montalban

This is nice. But technically it's not 'on' his head!

Now this guy looks much better in a sombrero, wouldn't you agree?

Hold on to your hats Ladies!

Thanks to a helpful comment by Virna, who reminded me of another very handsome man in a sombrero -- Here is Alejandro Fernandes.  Please click on the link below to hear his excellent singing voice!
