Los Angeles, CA (ContentDesk) May 2, 2004?-Just when you thought the trend of the trucker-hat was out, another Los Angeleno pulls up to the valet sporting a neon Von Dutch hat. Popularized my mega-mainstream stars such as Ashton Kutcher, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake, the trucker hat has emerged from a alternative fashion statement to a mainstream article of clothing.

Founder Jason Mak says "our aim is to aggressively belittle the individuals who wear trucker hats not only because they carry a hollow and ridiculous ego when they wear the hats, but also because they are continually feeding corporate fashion and mainstream styles." Truant Clothing presents the limited "Trucker Hats are for Poseurs" t-shirt.

A Look at Mannequin Heads
A mannequin head is a life-size head that includes all of the features of a human face. Mannequin heads can be used in several different situations. They can be used to model hats, wigs, makeup, or be used as practice dummies by people learning to cut hair in beauty school. Mannequin heads can be made to look like all types of people and are built to scale, giving them a lifelike look that is almost eerie. Mannequin heads are usually made of foam, plastic, or vinyl.
