HAT

THE CAT IN THE

Ever since senior Carlos Gallo went on a trip to Malibu and
visited the Malibu Surf Shack, he became obsessed with collecting
surf hats. His favorite brands were RVCA, Billabong, Volcom and
Hurley. Gallo’s collection has since grown to over 25 hats. He wore
his hats everywhere from parties to the beach.
“Collecting hats is a really fun hobby that’s easy to do. It helps
me define my stye and personality,” said Gallo.
Hats could not only be a fashion statement, but they also hid
a bad haircut or simply someone’s unruly hair. Instead of combing it
out, just put on a favorite hat, and simply walk out of the house.
“Whenever I wake up in the morning, my curly hair is always a
mess. So instead of brushing my hair it’s so much easier to just wear a
hat,” said eighth grader Kyle Guso.
