When I bought this purple outfit I had never heard of the Red Hat society. Then one day a woman from our Miata Club shared the poem with us when she invited all the ladies out for a "ladies only drive". We were to all wear purple and red if possible. I missed that drive and always regretted it. But now that I have a red hat AND a purple outfit, I am ready for the next ladies only drive!(grin)

It would be nice to see the likes of Wanda wear the purple hat, unfortunately this is more the type: Purple Hat

I think Wanda is too young for the Red Hat Society. I can just see those old hens giving her the jealous look of lost youth now.

You are right those don't go together at all but if anyone could pull that off it would be Wanda!

My ex-wife used to recite the poem to me often, … no doubt to excuse her behavior of spitting on sidewalks, … but Wanda certainly doesn’t look the old lady part. No doubt she’s simply practicing for the time that may come many years from now, … and strangely, the miss-matched purple and red looks quiet attractive on her. I would turn my head and look at her on the street, … but not if she spit.

I'm impressed with the lighting you came out with. Perfect blending of stop differential (if thats a term?)

It is a studio background

Yeah, but Wanda isn't old yet. :-) (I've had that When I'm Old, I'll Wear Purple book for some time). Very nice photos. I like the hat.
