Vanity items don't get me going, for the most part ("ZOMG vanity pets! Squeal!"). I don't care about having cute or unusual costumes. I don't piece together entertaining ensembles or strive to get rare pieces of rather pointless gear. Yea, I had a Twill set, but that was sparked by competition rather than my actual desire for it. Generally speaking, I only go for functional items, the general gear, professions that can save your ass, or help you out, and the one required for a supportive nature. Hell, I don't bother with extra mounts, one is enough to serve its purpose.
There is one vanity item that I have been striving for - Chef's Hat. Yes, it looks ridiculous. Yes, it hangs a little to the right. Yes, it is half the size of Solidsamm. But I'll be damned if it doesn't make me feel special. I've been a purveyor of Fish Feasts and other tasty morsels of Northrend for some time, and now everyone can know just how dedicated I've been - dare I say at the drop of a hat (couldn't resist)?
The Chef's Hat was a goal of mine, but it wasn't something I was wholly dedicated to. That was until Blizzard announced that it would speed up your cooking. Then I became a cuisine concoting fiend, missing the Dalaran daily only once. Now that I have it, I can't believe anyone would cook or lay out a Great Feast without equipping it. Frankly, the speed increase is amazing when compounded over a few stacks of edibles and should prove totally worth the effort.
Everyone's got their hook. For Pixie, it's an entire outfit. For me, it is a hat that increases the speed of my Wolfgang Puck-ness. What's your most coveted vanity item?
