Tarina Tarantino's mini top hat: the price just might make your head explode

You may have seen this crystal-encrusted, Dita Von Teese-reminiscent hat before. The quirky headpiece was featured on a highly-amusing episode of America's Next Top Model, in which everyone busted out their very best Cirque du Soleil imitations while modeling Tarina Tarantino's accessories line.

Tarantino's website describes the mini top hat as "jaunty," and indeed, it does make us want to open our own cabaret and put on some black tights with a tuxedo jacket. The nude crystals, burst of tulle flowers, and overall whimsy factor, we like. The price tag, we can't abide. $1,875?!

We know, it's completely covered in Swarovski crystals. But this is luxury, use-it-everyday-for-ten-years handbag kind of money. College course tuition kind of money. Week-long trip to Paris money. And yes, it is apparently also whimsical, tiny top hat money.
