Red Hat Society

[Canuck]

Hell-o all,

Today while in Colorado Springs (Colorado City to be exact) I was stopped by a lady of the Red Hat Socieety. She asked if I was Canadian. I said no, then she said her son in Canada wears a Kilt pretty much all the time and he looks great, as did I.

So my question is which one of my Canadian brothers isss going to claim this lovely lady?

Not me...My mom is recouping from knee replacement surgery...she doesn't like hats and she doesn't dress in purple...they are a wild bunch these ladies....

Well, my Mom is a red hatter, and I did live in the GTA (Toronto-ish, Burlington, Oakville, Bronte) for a while, she is not in Colorado. That means there may be two of us! LOL

I'm curious to see if any of the Rabble have noticed any upsurge of Red Hatters in your area over the past couple of years. Of course living in Arizona, Red Hatters are everywhere!

(Since this was in "GKT", I wonder what a red & purple RHS tartan kilt would look like?!)

There's a group of them in my SCA* barony who have actually managed to form a household of sorts based on their RHS membership....complete with red & purple garb and their own heraldry! As obnoxious as their 'colors' are, ya gotta admit, they sure are creative in the way that they have interjected a modern group into a "Middle-Ages" based society...now that is a true "anachronism"!

I met a couple of very nice ladies from Red Hat Society at this years Tartan Day Festival here in St. Louis.
THey aske if I would mind posing with them for a picture because I was the first person they saw that day wearing a purple kilt.

My wife is one of those crazy purple dressed red-hatters.... She seems to have fun at the meetings and outings that she attends.

I forgot that I posted this. Yes I do seem to notice many of those sweet ladies more than I used to.

I'm now 50 ...and I could get a purple kilt ... and a red balmoral... and underpinnings sounds dangerous.

Maybe a kilted chapter.

This is a corporate tartan called Highland Spring.

Red Hats are active in my little town. Even work with one.
