Red Hat Society

[MacWage]

The Red Hat Society? Does that tell me something about its members' mode of dress (other than red hats), or am I just recalling a cheeky childhood saying?!!!!!

You mean RED LIGHT Ladies.

THAT would HIGHLY OFFEND red hatties (like that would stop members of the kilted rabble :rolleyes: ).

The red hats originated as a joke when one lady gave her friend, for a fiftieth birthday, an old red fedora and a purple matted, framed copy of "When I am Old, I Shall Wear Purple." Let's say it was a hit. Her other friends expected the same, and she delivered. They began calling themselves the Red Hat Society and wore red and purple. It grew and grew, hitting its apex about a year ago (according to its bubble bursting over-exposure commercialism).

In the store where I work (which is clearancing out its Red Hat stuff right now), the ladies come in in red and purple packs. I find it REALLY funny , like purple and red, boa and lace decked herd of bikers from the retirment home.

Did I say they wear red and purple . . . . . . . . .

HAHAHA.

"Red Hat Society" That's kinda cute. I could picture one of my grandmother's being involved in something like that.

My partner's grandmother is a Red Hat Lady and she is the most adorable woman. They've all seemed like very nice ladies, the ones I've met anyway.

You know you are in the limelight when The Simpsons makes fun of you. Anyone else remember when Marge joined "The Cherry Red Tomatoes"? They, too, wore red hats and was headed by a woman played by Lily Tomlin. One of their programs was charity work, and were not above trying to rob Mr. Burns of his Fabrige Egg colletion when bake sales didn't bring in enough money.
