ATDTDA (2): Headwear in ATD? (pp. 1 - 44)

[Monte Davis]

Is it legit to look -- as it were -- ahead? 

SPOILERS if it still matters:












347, Dally sees Erlys (maybe) in the atrium at the department store: "There
on the other side of that hypnotic Deep and the arpeggiations ascending out
of it stood a figure in lady-shopper's streetwear in a violet and gray
check, the egret plume on her hat articulating sensitive as a hand, not
looking at Dally in particular but somehow demanding her attention."


544: "It was still early in the study of these matters, only a few brave
pioneers like the Baron von Krafft-Ebing had dared peep into the strange and
weirdly twilit country of hat-fetishism-not that Kit noticed stuff like that
ordinarily, but it [Pleaide's hat] happened actually to be a gray toque of
draped velvet..."

Setting up 589:

"Yashmeen Halfcourt continued to glide, through the Turkish smoke and
beer-fumes, 
directly toward them... Draped velvet toques had always been Kit's undoing."
