CD Mosaic Reflective Hat

 I was noticed a stack of really old CDs by my desk (things like Encarta 2000, 65,000 Clipart images, etc.).  The first thing I thought was "OOOOHHHH shiny".  The next thing I thought was "Hmm, maybe I could make something out of those for the Light up the Night contest (since shiny == reflective).  So, since I like to break things (who doesn't), I broke up the CDs and glued them to a hat.  I feel like I'm just breaking open a whole new medium.  I have lots more CDs (I just noticed a stack of old Linux Distros I've burned over the years).  I mean, who wouldn't want to wear shards of broken plastic on their clothes?  My wife is gonna love this!

By the way, my daughter was only allowed to wear this under close supervision.  She just looked way better than me in the hat (and I mean WAY better).

Can you please demonstrate how you might use this hat for "Stylin'"? This is of the utmost importance.

 There, I posted a picture of my daughter sporting the hat.  Doesn't she look stylin?  (she could look sylin wearing garbage . . . hmm, maybe she is wearing garbage)

Yes. She is indeed Stylin'. That answers that question. Unfortunately, I don't think I could ever be that stylin'. I guess I will just have to let her continue to do it for the rest of us.
