1978.002.045Description
Yellow and black plastic hat made and worn by poet Julia Vinograd (Cal '65), the Bubble Lady. Hat is beanie or beret- style, without a brim. Yellow vinyl panels sewn together make the main part of the hat, with a grosgrain ribbon sweat band. Strips of black electrical tape are laid over the seams as decoration. Condition is extremely poor, as vinyl is sticky and disintegrating. Panels have the texture of an orange peel. She was named the Bubble Lady in 1968 during the People's Park riot.
