<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Last night I heard for the first time that Jackie’s pink hat is missing: No one knows what happened to it after all these years.<\/p>\n This is just mind-boggling, isn’t it? If anything in this world is iconic, it’s that pillbox hat. How can it be missing?! Jackie’s maid put the suit in a plastic bag but she doesn’t know about the hat.<\/p>\n If they managed to keep this secret for 50 years, they fucking well know about the conspiracy\/conspiracies, too.<\/p>\n I genuinely feel upset about the hat. I am surprised but less upset to learn that the pink suit is not Chanel, but rather an exact copy of a Chanel suit, made in New York. Good for Jackie. Coco Chanel consorted with too many Nazi’s. Perhaps Jackie knew this subconsciously.<\/p>\n Watching the old news footage, I can’t help but marvel at Jackie’s immense grace and dignity. No wonder our fascination with her is so enduring.<\/p>\n But the missing hat reminded me of a dream I had a few years ago, that for some reason I had in my possession a hatbox with Jackie’s head in it. I’m pretty sure the hat was there too. I remembered being appalled by this horrible dream imagery, and yet kind of proud of it’s originality.<\/p>\n Now I feel guilty, in keeping with my pervading sense that everything, everything, is my fault.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last night I heard for the first time that Jackie’s pink hat is missing: No one knows what happened to it after all these years.
