I do NOT want to be a "Red Hat Lady"! No offense to those wonderful women who are a part of that organization. And to be honest I really did like the poem that inspired them:
The Red Hat Society takes its name from the opening lines of the poem Warning by Jenny Joseph, which starts:
“When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat that doesn't go and doesn't suit me.”
But here's the deal - I liked the poem because it was about NOT conforming...not being like everyone else. And now with all the "Red Hat" clubs and gimmicks and kitsch...everyone IS conforming and like everyone else.
So I do NOT want to be a red hat lady.
