They have a knack for finding humor in the activities of everyday life, and they enjoy bringing laughter to all types of audiences. With what has turned out to be the right blend of middle age, mediocrity, attitude and creativity, these entertaining women are taking the world by surprise.

It seems that thousands and thousands of women are dressing up in purple clothing and red hats to parade around their town, literally "parade" in many cases, all in the name of having fun! Hey, at our age, we can do anything we want, right? I'm not sure if "Minnie" will join or not, but she's REALLY fond of hats, so we'll have to wait and see.

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter...
from Warning by Jenny Joseph

That's the poem that started it all. Since then, the red hat has come to symbolize a
woman's right to have fun at any age-- and to do it in style!

Check out the Sisterhood of Purple created by Jody Houghton more than 20 years ago!
Jody's newest book, "Girlfriend Wisdom" was released at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona to over 1,200 wonderfully bodacious women all wearing purple and red! We hope you, too,will embrace the motto: "Live, Laugh, Love."

Then there's The Red Hat Ladies which was founded in 1972 by Sue Crumley of Austin, Texas, and
in 2000, the Red Hat Society, was founded by Sue Ellen Cooper of Fullerton, California

A "red hat" is more than an accessory to these women. It makes a statement about the attitude of women today. It symbolizes a woman's refusal to become old-minded, boring, and rigid.
