Pharrell Williams became the talk of the Grammys last month with his, errr, “distinctive” Vivian Westwood “mounties” hat.

The proceeds will go to From One Hand to Another, which helps to provide underprivileged children with educational and artistic resources. So congrats to Pharrell for the good deed, the Oscar nomination, the new album (the ten-track G.I.R.L. drops today, btw), the Grammys and…just generally being awesome!

And we totally get it. In fact, we personally own a one-inch square swath of John Lennon’s carpet, which is currently framed above our desk. And we’re proud of it!
