Red Hat Society

[Beads1947]

I just found out about a group called the Red Hat Society, women over 50, who
go out to lunch together wearing red hats and purple dresses (based on an
English poem about growing older). Now, wouldn't we look great that way with
our red hats, purple dresses and red and purple lampwork beads? Boggles the
mind! Also, this group does NOT do good works. LOL

You mean you have to "work up" to wearing a red hat? How does that work?

That's eerie! We were just discussing this here on RCB......! Last week!

I saw some of these ladies last spring down in Bisbee! (talk about crossed
threads LOL) I'll tell ya, some of them did NOT look even close to 50. But
they sure looked stunning in their dresses and hats! Something to aspire to.

Well, the poem ends with something to the effect that she should start now,
so that people aren't too startled by the change when she gets old. For
that reason, I think there should not be an age limit placed on membership!

True. And -- it warns people what you're up to. I say approach it like a cat
burglar, then let 'em have it. ;-)

But you gotta have at least one bead on your person at any given time. Or be
