This May, Skin Cancer Awareness Advocates Give Tip of the Hat to Headwear
North Conway, NH (ContentDesk) April 30, 2006 -- May is national Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and advocates are giving a big hats off to people who keep theirs on.According to the Center for Disease Control, skin cancer prevention is not to be taken lightly. The center published this statement on their website (www.cdc.gov): Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. Exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays appears to be the most important environmental factor involved in the development of skin cancer. When used consistently, sun-protective practices can prevent skin cancer. Although wearing a high-SPF sunscreen that protects from UV rays is vitally important, the CDC also stresses its imperative to: Get a hat. Hats that shade the face, scalp, ears, and neck are easy to use and give great protection. Fortunately, the hunt for hats as stylish as they are sun-protective is becoming increasingly fruitful, thanks to manufacturers like Sunday Afternoons, Tilley Endurables and Physician Endorsed all of whom make fashionable, wide-brimmed hats out of UV-protective materials for people who live and work in the sun.Shoppers can find a wide selection of these sun-protective brands, along with a variety of other wide-brimmed hats at online retailers like the popular www.getahaton.com.

wearing a backpack.) Hi! My name is Elizabeth Andra Shaw and I'm on a great adventure ? a journey called Life, a journey to answer the question, "Who am I?" The first 44 years of my life, I lived in a place called Hatville. It was an exciting place. Everyone was very busy because they were wearing many different hats. In Hatville, hats are very popular. People collect hats, and some hats are so rare that they confer great status on their owners.
There is competition and envy surrounding high status hats. I picked up a few hats myself while I lived in Hatville, including the Daughter Hat, the Sister Hat, the Physical Therapist Hat, the Medical Editor Hat, and the Wife Hat. In fact (Liz shrugs off her backpack and extracts a hat) here is my favorite, the Phoenix Mercury Fan Hat! (Liz excitedly models the hat for the audience.)

Vintage Apparel and Accessories are Hot; Popularity Increases
(ContentDesk) April 19, 2006 -- Vintage clothing and accessories are becoming very popular as clothing manufacturers bring back many vintage styles.
In the headwear industry, vintage hats are becoming mainstream, including the famous Fedora from the 1920s through 1950s.Duane Dewsbury, president of www.TheFedoraStore.com said that sales are brisk on old styles in new hats, so his company just added an actual Vintage Hat category.
Less than a year ago, old used vintage hats were selling on online auction sites often for less than $10, said Duane.
Prices have skyrocketed as people clamor to get their hands on these old hats, and they now average from $25 for wool felt hats, to often over $100 for fur felt hats. Duane said the vintage clothing and accessories are selling so briskly, that he added a new category to his online shop to include his collection of pre-owned high-end fur and beaver felt hats.
