That whole "traditional dances of Pomerania" description engaged my
imagination in more ways than I care to admit, but it included a whole
costumed culture...


Hmmm... tell me more...

Think of Czech/Balkan/Russian "folk" costumes and stir in a large
amount of Munchkinland flavor from the movie of The Wizard of Oz.

And yes, the interesting hats did play a part.
