I’m a Rhinestone Cowboy

I saw a link to a video contest to win Burt Reynolds Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. I thought that would be fun. I got online and I bought a mustache and a cowboy hat (the after Halloween sales were pretty good). I paid extra on shipping to make sure it came before Thanksgiving. The contest deadline is the end of November, so I wanted to take advantage of the long weekend.
Well this is what I got. I think I look just like the Bandit!
After getting off the phone with customer service and discovering that there was nothing I could do to get a new hat in time I cut off the sequins and then spray painted it tan. The close up shot shows how poorly the hat took the paint.
So I tried some sandpaper and then some dirt to smooth things out a bit.
I used the c clamp to stretch it to fit bit better.
I then I took the band that I made for my Indiana Jones hat and there we have it! I posted the video to the contest site this morning and am waiting on approval to be able to share it with the world.

Couldn’t you just have gone to Shepler’s? Really?

Shepler’s? I got online and bought that hat for 5 bucks. It’s just going to get abused, so it’s my “stunt” hat.
