evolution of the straw hat (the really fine one with shells on it)

[nurse chrissi]

The hat starting showing up in May I believe - anyone have anymore picture of it hat in question?

 

[u2granny]

I think this shirt did too.

the hat appears to double as not only new album hat but also vacation hat

 

[madonna's child]

Maybe it's a bad hair day hat. I have one! Or maybe it's hiding his roots...

 

[Keocmb]

not only new album hat but also vacation hat

Oh, that poor poor hat.

 

[Queen Bee]

He needs to ditch the hat

 

[seajewel]

don't like the hat - it's a really bad fit

 

[ylimeU2]

There are atleast two of them. One with the shells, and one with a regular band.

I think it looks okay for vacation, but the rest of the time? I wish he'd leave it in his closet.

[ylimeU2]

I was wrong, there are atleast three different ones.

I was wrong, there are atleast three different ones.

...and many more to come!


I don't know what to think about those straw hats - there's nothing wrong with the shape of it (cowboy-hat-shape), it's just... ... the straw that seems to confuse me!

 

[ylimeU2]

It reminds me of PopEdge. Great look for Edge during the Pop era, but I'm not sure it's quite the right look for Bono in the here and now.

 

[verte76]

Personally I like the hat. I really like these pix!!

 

[Merc]

It reminds me of PopEdge.

Could one of the straw hats actually be the one that Edge had during POP?!

 

[u2granny]

I dunno...what do ya think?

 

[ylimeU2]

If that is the alternative choice, KEEP THE STRAW HAT!

Although, I am oddly fond of the pearls and dress.

 

[ylimeU2]

Could one of the straw hats actually be the one that Edge had during POP?!

Similar, but not quite.

 

[u2granny]

Could be Edge's Lovetown hat.

 

[Merc]

Similar, but not quite.

No, I see, not quite the same... Maybe then it's only a matter of time before we will see Bono in a 4th straw hat - Edge's POP straw hat!




Regarding the AB-pic of Bono ... it reminds me of the "I want to break free"-video!

 

[nurse chrissi]

The hat goes out for a boys night....

 

[ylimeU2]

Could be Edge's Lovetown hat.

You're right, it could be!

 

[ylimeU2]

The hat goes out for a boys night....

That is one busy hat. The studio, film festivals, beaches, boys nights, photo shoots....

 

[u2granny]

The hat gets around.

 

[nurse chrissi]

Same Hat?

 

[nurse chrissi]

Several Years Later...

 

[Merc]

What is it with these guys and straw hats???

 

[drealynn42]

The hat goes out for a boys night....

Dude, he looks like Robin Williams in this one! (hmmm, new thread topic...)

I'm trying to figure out how "straw hat" fits into "punk rock made on Venus"

 

[drealynn42]

Poor Bono! He's so famous, he has to dress like Bono at the beach. Either that, or he knows he would burn to a crisp with that skin tone...
