Anyway, this week's theme at the Pet Society is the Australia . There are two types of backgrounds for it. The blue sky with aqua blue sea or the umbilicus of the world. ( Dear friends, you can have fun guessing at where it is. )
My fashionable Pet Lola ( the one with golden blonde hair) is having some fun on beach with friend. Both spotting the latest cork hat and swim wear. Koala bear never cuter than hugging their tree and sleeping all day long. Our pets are wearing cork hats! But what exactly is a cork hat all about? I seriously do not know.
All I know is that cork hat is from Australia and it looks like it had some function with those hanging wine corks around. I had a Koala bear and Kangaroo soft toy from Australia when I was young. Both of the toys were wearing a cork hat.
Google search for pictures: Aha... I got it here: Man with cork hat. So it really looks like that in real life. No offense but kind of silly looking. :P I wonder will it be kind of irritating to have those hanging around your head. My friends reside in Australia informed me that they do not wear it on daily basis too. Haha...Anyway it is always a symbol to represent Australia now. It looks kind of cute too. ^^ I like it.
A cork hat is a type of headgear with cork strung from the brim, to ward off insects.
Traditionally worn by jackaroos and swagmen in the blow-fly infested Australian outback,[1] the cork hat has become part of the stereotypical representation of the Australian ocker.[2] The shape and material of a cork hats vary, though typically they are shaped like slouch hat. Pieces of cork, often shaped as bottle stoppers, are hung on string from the brim of the hat. The low density of cork means a number of pieces may hang from a hat without significantly increasing the weight. Movement of the head causes the corks to swing, discouraging insects from swarming around the wearer's head.
