Justice Cap hides your identity from Big Brother

It doesn’t matter if you are a celebrity who is being stalked by the paparazzi, or you continuously feel like Big Brother is watching, or maybe you just hate having your picture taken. We found the perfect thing for you.

The Justice Cap looks like a normal baseball cap. The major difference is there is a built in set of high powered LED lights along the rim of the visor. These lights make it difficult for most cameras to capture your face in a video or on a digital camera. Used it at night and this hat works perfectly to black out your face. During the daylight hours, however, it will only be able to hide part of your face.

Watch their YouTube video to get an idea of the capabilities of this simple yet perfect way to hide your identity.

Food Hats: If These Were Edible, I’d Eat My Hat

Posted in: Today's Chili

Whoever said that food and fashion don’t mix obviously haven’t seen these dainty and appetizing hats by MaorZabar Hats. Granted, the concept is strange and a bit far out, but the execution is just gorgeous.

Of course, it’ll take a playful personality (and possibly a large head) to be able to pull some of these hats off. But if you’re looking for one-of-a-kind fashion pieces that make a statement (mostly about your love of food), then these hats will do exactly that for you.

Sushi, fried eggs, salad, and pies – there’s a hat for each and every one of them.

They’re available for $266 each. Not cheap, but you have to admit, they are pretty amazing. You can check them out on Etsy.

All the Hats in Team Fortress 2 in One Image: Hats off to the Artist

Posted in: Today's Chili

Artist and webcomic creator Ashley Lange embarked on the challenge of a lifetime and emerged victorious. She drew all of the hats in Team Fortress 2 in one image. She didn’t include the hatless headgear and the miscellaneous items that can be considered hats, but honestly not even Gabe Newell can complain about her madness. I mean dedication. Thanks to Ashley, when the iPhone 9 comes out TF2 fans will already have a wallpaper for it.

Ashley used Photoshop CS3 and a Cintiq pen display to create the drawing. She almost gave up on the project because Valve kept coming up with new hats as she was working on the drawing. Fortunately she outpaced the company. The video below is a time-lapse of her drawing; the hatness madness starts at around 3:30.

For her next feat, perhaps Ashley should draw Gordon Freeman. Fighting all of Suikoden’s 108 Stars of Destiny. Who each have all of the Pokémon. Which are each wearing all of the Team Fortress 2 hats.

Star Wars Mickey Mouse Ears: LucasHats

Posted in: Today's Chili

Sure, we can all laugh about these Star Wars Mickey Mouse ears and point and say “Those merchandising fools. That’s ridiculous.” But remember, Disney now owns Lucasfilm, and therefore Star Wars. I wouldn’t be surprised if people wore this stuff in the next movies. I’m ready for anything after Jar Jar.

Etsy artist Jessica Danker makes these offbeat Mickey Mouse ear hats in a variety of styles.

I especially like the X-Wing pilot/X-Ear hat. And the Darth Maul hat. Yeah! Mickey Maul. That I can get behind!

They are cute and clever creations – as long as they keep them out of any movies.

The Crushable Baseball Cap is designed to hold its shape no matter where you put it, cram it, fold it, crush it and so forth. Any amount of abuse and it’s still going to look like a baseball cap. If you’ve tried to pack your hats before, you’d know how deformed, dented and even demented those hats can get after a long trip. More »

‘Chicks in Hats’ Shows Off a Multitude of Chicken Personalities, in Hats

Posted in: Today's Chili

Don’t expect a gallery of human chicks in hats, because this post is going to be about actual chicks in hats. You know, baby chickens.

Chicks in Hats2 If you’ve seen chicks in real life before, then you know how hard it is to get them to stay put. Which is why I think Julie Persons did a fantastic job capturing them in all sorts of poses with wacky hats on their heads in her new photo series, ‘Chicks in Hats.’
