5. A note on "the crowns..."

that's actually more of a "Protestant thing" than simply a black church lady thing; even many Southern white church ladies where hats to church (even though southern church white lady chapeaus are usually quite tired compared to black church ladies).

And remember, Aretha's inauguration hat was a bigger hit in England than here (outside of the black community).
