There are thousands and thousands of Red Hat Ladies all over the world.
The
phenomenon was started in the States in 1997 when a red hat and a copy
of
the poem "Warning" was presented to a friend who was celebrating her
50th
birthday and all the friends wanted one. The ladies donned their red
hats
and purple dresses to go out to tea together and the Red Hat Society
was
born.

hey, aparently this society is based on a poem called "Warning" by Jenny Joseph.

A society of women who embrace silliness, something like that.

yeah... is it that "when i am an old woman i shall wear purple" thing?

embracing silliness is good.

everything in its season, a time and place for everything.

....or are they a militant group with plans of overthrowing the west under the guise of "silliness"?

Lorne Roberts said...
