Archie Burkel has Hatitude
Being Top Hat of The Hat Ladies combines Archie's passion for fashion and compassion. The result is a volunteer brigade of stylish ladies who are making a difference in their lives and their community. When she is not pulling things out of her hat, she can be found teaching "Memoirs Done Write," gardening, swimming or working on her latest project: a workshop called "Hints from The Hat Lady, from Head to Toe."
3 things you don't know about me: I posed nude (except for a hat) for art classes at The College of Charleston before The Hat Ladies came to be. I bungee jumped head first from a hot air balloon in Colorado. I danced with my husband at the wedding of Nadia Comaneci and Bart Conner at the Cotroceni Palace in Bucharest, Romania
