Quote:
 I was fiddling around and found an advert (US) for the doll which goes with the purple/red hat poem. You know the one Warning 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 sandles, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick flowers in other people's gardens And learn to spit. You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and pickle for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes. But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children. We must have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple. Jenny Joseph I'm looking forward to then and am practicing now! |

I love the new avatar! And the poem: I'm about at that stage of life now, pretty much do exactly what I want to, regardless if it's proper, or not done, or unbecoming at your age!!  |

DM! I've just discovered that there is a Red Hat Society! http://www.redhatsociety.com/ I haven't had the time to look at the link properly - it looks more US focussed than UK, but there are a few chapters here. What fun! |

It's quite well known here in the States; has even appeared in the comic pages: the Pickles strip...Opal has joined it to the consternation of her rather stodgy husband, Earl! |
