Redhat Society

Joanne- Redhat Societies have sprouted all over my town, and naturally, I belong to one. It IS a lot of fun. except for the fact that I look lousy in purple, and I hate hats. I usually end up holding my hat on my lap.

Ditto the hat thing that was the hard part.

Purple is OK I guess but red is my favorite. I am really looking forward to new adventures with these women.

Four hours of laughing and giggling it was so good. And

I have the phone number of a woman who wants to start a local chapter sitting on my desk. Now if I can only muster my energies....

Do it, noddy! I've heard tremendously good things about this group. A few more birthdays, and I'm gonna find myself a chapter.

I am a member of the Straw Hat Society. It's great fun! A bunch of us sit around on the porch, drinking moonshine, smoking our pipes, and, of course, wearing our straw hats. Sometimes we discuss possum hunting, other times we talk about the womenfolk around town, especially the group that wear the red hats.

THAT is a straw hat, guzhtopf?
I've always been interested in millinery - I imagine your milliner must be extraordinarily proud.

Noddy you can do it really these women are real women and you will not have a problem of.

Betheh when I was buying my hat I was thinking I need Betheh to pick me a really good hat. When you see the pics I think you will be proud of me.

gustavratzenhofer, welcome to A2k, haha, I have been unable to A2k for a while. And missed your procession.

Popes now wear straw hats?
I gotta go to church more often.

Joanne--

I've got plenty of courage--the problem these days is energy. I'm counting on the cooler weather to jump-start my gumption.

Meanwhile, I'm glad to have the reinforcement that the Red Hat Society is a congenial group.

Ditto Eva but then I guess the Pope get to do whatever he wants to.

Noddy - check out the website - i followed the links to one of my local chapters - those women are having a great time!

I can hardly wait to see a pic of your hat, JoanneD!

I feel horrible. Here I've been going on and on about the Straw Hat Society and how much fun me and the boys have been having and yet I never bothered showing you a picture of my hat. I'm sure you've been sitting around wondering what my hat looks like. Well, I'm going to show you. It's a hell of a hat and it is one of my most prized possessions. When I wear this hat, the ladies are pretty much defenseless -- they become putty in my hands.

I should show you a picture of me wearing the hat, but the swoon factor would reach dangerous levels amongst the ladies present, therefore I believe it is in the best interests of all involved parties that I merely show the hat for now.

That hat ain't straw...

The hell it aint!

I look DISGUSTING in hats!

How could i be a member when I will turn tummies in a hat?

Tams and berets are acceptable. I'm sure you could carry that off, MsD.

kochtopf, that hat is not straw. it's interesting, but it's not straw.

A number of the women will come to functions wearing a big red flower in their hair. Could you see ME with a flower in my hair. Yeech!
