I'm trying to restore the Honor list from the WCP. I think this theme: HATS, was the last one we did.#2: Lollipop (lollipop) on Nov 17, 2018 [SPOILER]
Seems to be one of Jackie Kennedy's pillbox hats.#3: Spot (Pspaughtamus) on Aug 10, 2020 [SPOILER]
My second thought as I was working on it was Mary Tyler Moore's blue hat she throws in the air, but when finished, I concur with Jackie Kennedy. My first thought as I was working on it was a hedgehog, so, we won't count that.#4: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Mar 3, 2023

Sorry, I apparently can't click properly today. This is line & color solvable, and not trivial.#9: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Mar 4, 2023 [SPOILER]
Mary Tyler Moore's hat was blue?!! We had a black and white TV, so I'm often surprised by the colors of things. Oh my goodness, the Brady Bunch's kitchen! Those colors were a surprise when I finally saw it on a color TV.#10: Koreen (mom24plus) on Mar 5, 2023
Valerie, I'm with you, lol! Gilligan's and the Skipper's shirts!#11: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Mar 5, 2023
Koreen - I haven't seen Gilligan's Island in color. What colors were their shirts?#12: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Mar 6, 2023 [SPOILER]
Oh! I did a web search. Bright red and blue! Who knew?
This has a lot of irony, in that if Jackie's hat did indeed change a generation of hat wearers, JFK did the exact opposite for men - when he appeared hatless at his inauguration, the men's hat industry collapsed, as no one continued wearing one after that.
