Even though I make hats, I'm also trying to study user design and interaction.  This post is about my Coursera UX class assignment on physical fitness, where I turned to a specific form of exercise that I know and love- Spartan Races.  I did not have race this week prior to the assignment deadline, so I could not interview people in person.   Coming up with the questions was easy, as was creating a quick sub-five minute quiz.

My first assignment task was to create a Stakeholder map:

This headpiece is by Alfred Hitchcock's iconic classic horror film "The Birds".
 

A flock of birds of different sizes and colors swarm above your head on hidden wiring. The positions and heights of the birds are easily adjustable. 

The wirework easily disguises into your hair.  Just wear it with your favorite retro inspired dress to have a show-stopping Halloween costume.

Made to order, we can customize it any way you want.  Wrap your hair around the suspended wires to get an even more authentic look.

I like to think there is a lil Lil Poundcake in all of us.  Times where you lose your temper, run your mouth, flip the table but still manage to look hideously beautiful.  

Here is a throwback to a Fab Hatters designed Lil Poundcake mannequin head.  We are huge Alaska fans!
