The Bowler Hat Gallery started sometime during the last
year of my GCSE's (circa 1998), when I was pretty darn bored. It
had a humble beginning, in the form of 'Bowler Hat (version 1.0)'. This had built-in redundancy, ensuring that the
market would not reach saturation, and also that wearers would
have to buy the 'Bowler
Hat (version 1.1) patch'. The next
(more polished) version followed quite closely after, in order to
prevent competition from Fedora hats and other anti-conservative influences - this was the revolutionary 'Bowler Hat '98 (with free
browser)'.
The Bowler
Hat - Satanic Edition was the first
'official' Hat-top Theme. Wearers of '98 could customise their
Hat-tops to their own specification (versions 1.0 and 1.1 were
inadequate for this - any tampering would cause a seam failure).
This was the first in what is hoped to be a varied and original
range of Hat-top themes.
Bowler Hats are worn by all the
rich and famous, including Lara Croft!
George Lucas is obviously a big
fan of the Bowler Hat. He wanted to have all his characters
wearing Bowler Hat
'98 for his new 'Episode One' film. In
fact, he even added in CGI bowler hats to the old trilogy for the
re-release. However, I didn't want my product to be tainted by
association with films which, though enjoyable, are not in the
spirit of the Bowler Hat conservative philosophy. George was
forced to show the re-releases sans Bowler Hats, and
even had to re-film the whole of 'The Phantom Menace' to exclude
all Bowler Hats. The Bowler Hat versions of the Star Wars films
are now very hard to come by, and are therefore worth millions of
dollars. There are also, reportedly, several Star Wars toy
figures, modelling Bowler Hats. Rumour has it that they were all
bought by MargaretThatcher, another Bowler Hat devotee.
