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 . . . . . . . . .
