![[Headline: "Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching trend for 37 years" news by Sascha Pare published 12 hours ago]
Still of a scene with Regina George, Gretchen Weiners and Cady Herron from Mean Girls but their faces have been replaced with Orca heads, though the long luxurious hair is still present. The Orca in the middle wears a dead salmon on their head
First picture has three orcas
Middle orca :"It was my mom's in the 80's"
Left Orca: "Vintage! So Adorable
Second picture below, later with only two Orcas: Left Orca:"That is the ugliest effing salmon I've ever seen"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l5ltn24ixpfchcoaqr5t4tmk/bafkreidpmtj6xpwbmxnkgyoehrxxsr46wcyhl6vyyoyrimrfpp2gpajzva@jpeg)
