Ever since I first saw Paige Hemmis from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition with her pink hard hat, I have been envious.
I need it for work.
Seriously. I do. I mean, I know The Guys already know when Mmmmmm GIIIIRRRLLLL arrives on site. Our boobs give us away immediately. Then all the eyes turn as their brains tell them FRESH MAIT.
It’s true. You’ll just have to believe me.
Like those guys standing at the top of the ramp for their coffee break? They’re not standing there because that’s where the coffee is: it’s because TEH GIRLZ walk past up there, not down in the hole.
True story!
But.. then I saw this:
Artist explanation:
We had a really terrible hurricane in 2004 named Ivan. It destroyed about 80% of the building where I worked. Anytime we had to enter the building we had to wear hard hats – which was really gross for me to wear one that had been on someone’s sweaty head. So I asked for a new one and they were so nice to give me one. The very first day I had it one of the construction workers asked to borrow it. I removed the foam off the band so it would be easy to clean and sanitize when I got it back. Then I took it home and painted it. It turned out cute and there wasn’t another one like it on the military base. And, the guys didn’t ask to borrow it again either!! Can’t imagine why!
I wonder if she’ll put gerbera daisies on mine for me.

That’s just beeyootiful. I need one.
Love this site. It’s my new addiction.

You can get cowboy hard-hats too. You know you want to spraypaint that bad-boy pink and bedazzle the bejesus out of it.

Well, I guess that is one way to get people to stop borrowing your stuff…

It’s nice to know that amidst all the tragedy, disaster and destruction- Brenda has got her priorities and still takes pride in her appearance.

SRSLY? I’m all for cutesy things, but that’s something my boyfriend’s nutty grandma would make as a christmas gift for him. And then he’d realize where his hardhat had gone missing. Bahaha.
BTW, FRESH MAIT link/story made me cry with laughter. It was the bood grabbing. I’m sure of it.

Heather makes me cry constantly. She’s not only the Queen of Shake Shake, she’s AMAZINGLY funny. Glad you enjoyed the post!

This just reinforces my intense hatred of all things One Stroke(TM).

HAHAHAHAHA! Great! I threatened to put glittery heart and “My Little Pony” stickers on mine to keep the guys away when I worked at the military test center…eventually they realized that it was a pain to keep readjusting the band for my tiny head and left me alone. (And I, too, shunned the communal hardhats, total ick.)
