Sure berets are pretentious, but the artist who wears this beret is allowed to be. And this beret isn't the kind you find in a second-hand store -- no, it's a prize given to the thirteen amazing artists whose breathtaking work was chosen for the 2009 Kingdom of Loathing Fanart Calendar. You can see the calendar in that mysterious parallel dimension known as "real life." Congratulations, beret-bearer, and thank you for your 1337 arts!
