Earth's Kitt

$165.00

This western style hat is designed to be a direct connection between earth and fashion, and this is done by using natural tones such as green, ivory, brown, and burgundy. Along with the leaves, Eartha Kitt’ quote: “the tombstone will be my diploma.” is woodburned on the sides of the hat.

The late Eartha Kitt made this statement to show that obtaining knowledge is a lifelong occurrence and only one’s demise of the soul marks the end of that educational tenure.

Eartha Kitt was an African- American singer, dancer, and actress. A childhood in poverty led Kitt to become an international star, often times recognized by her peculiar voice. Among her scandalous- yet respected- reputation, she openly spoke against the Vietnam War while at a luncheon with Lady Bird Johnson held at the White House in 1968. Kitt was blacklisted directly afterwards.

On 12/25/2008, Eartha Kitt succumbed to colon cancer in her Connecticut home.
