Good morning ya'll,

I got my first "lick" Friday while at my Friday restaurant.  That sounds so funny, and it was at the time too. I was asked to make a guy a special hat without the guy's knowledge so I decided on the Rolling Stones Hat (big set of lips with a huge tongue sticking out).  The person who made the request tipped me in advance.  

I made the hat while at another table, then walked up to the unsuspecting guy and said, "I was told you would just loooove wearing one of my hats so I chose my favorite hat of all just for you."  Then I smiled, wiggled the hat up and down, and said, "By the way, you gotta be careful about nodding to people while wearing this hat.  Not everyone appreciates the invitation."  Then I placed the hat on him amid lots of laughter from everyone around us, watched him turn beet red, and then I walked away.  

About 10 minutes later the guy who received the hat came up to me and used the hat to lick my face, laughed while thanking me, and then handed me an additional tip.  He is the first one to "lick" me in the 6.5 years I've been making that hat.  Usually they just "lick" the person sitting next to them. lol  I thought it was a hoot.

Happy twisting,

So there is a first time for everything  

That's a funny story, bonnie I've heard so much about this hat but would love to see what it looks like on a  head!!

Here you go Normski, a photo of the hat on someone's head (taken 4 years ago) and 2 photos of how I've slightly modified the hat since then.  I make the tongue bigger (so the wearer can see through it and because it bobs up and down easier with the larger tongue) and only 4 teeth (2 smaller ones on either side with 2 larger ones in the middle).

:lol:  :lol: ...funny story Bonnie!  I'm surprised you haven't been 'licked' before...even on accident...that is a very big tongue  :lol:

Oh my! Sounds absolutely hilarious... ! Makes me wish I had a restaurant

Hugs...
