Red Hat Society

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?!!!!!

We see them around town a lot - lunches at the Phoenix Art Museum and the like.

They're rather nice people, all told.

Not all of them, just like any group they have their bad element, some do it to have fun while others do it to set themselves above those around them.

My mother belongs and her group has social gatherings every month or so. When we marched in Schuylerville's Turning Point Pararde to honor the Battle of Saratoga the group behind us was a Red Hat Society "float". It was a decorated flatbed with enough chairs for a dozen women to sit around drinking Margarita's. At least three local groups have a Day at the Races at Saratoga.

Glen, that's a tough one mate. The Red Hat Society is huge up here right now, and kilt wearing seems to be getting more and more common.

Hamish the Red Hat Society is for women over 50. They wear red hats and purple outfits. If there is going to be a kilt check, they are likely to be near the scene of the crime.

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 . . . . . . . . .

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