Who We Are
"The Red Hat Society exists to prove there is fun after fifty for women of all walks of life. We believe silliness is the comedy relief of life and, since we are all in it together, we might as well join red-gloved hands and go for the gusto together. Underneath the frivolity, we share a bond of affection, forged by common life experiences and a genuine enthusiasm for wherever life takes us next." (a quote from Exalted Queen Mother, Sue Ellen Cooper). We are the Vintage Vixens, a chapter predominantly in Red Hats. We have a QUINTESSENTIAL Queen Mother Terri, a VIVACIOUS Vice-Queen Carole, a DIVINE Duchess of Dues, Lady Laughs Alot Sherri, and a SERENDIPITOUS Scribe, Diva of Dance Donna. We only have ONE Pink Hatter Sherri Kenney (Lady in Waiting...waiting to turn 50 years old that is! AND SHE ONLY HAS TWO, SHORT YEARS TO GO...HA, HA!) who looks up to her elder sisters with great reverence...NOT
Well, we all ate our way through the Holidays, so here's some Diet/Exercise advice from Queen Mother:
1. Potato chips aren't rubbery & blubbery like fat. They're crispy & crunchy like lettuce. That proves they're diet food.
Our Mission: To have as much fun as we can. To laugh at ourseves and enjoy this very special season of our lives. To try new things, meet new friends and experience life in ways we never before thought possible. To leave all our "troubles" at home when we come out to play with our Red Hat sisters. And, especially, to come to love our red hats and purple outfits and glory in calling attention to ourselves! Oh, and did I mention, to eat lots and lots of chocolate???
Our Motto:
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather a skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming....,
"WOW...What a ride!!!"-author unknown
Traditions:
Our official instrument is the Kazoo, a very versatile method of calling attention to ourselves. Easy to carry and easy to afford, one can find little about it not to love! Our official dessert is the Hostess Ding-Dong, mostly because (a) we don't have to bake it, and (2) it's chocolate.
Titles:
Well, you've got a Queen and a Vice-Queen...so why can't you be a Duchess or Princess or Countess??? The title may come from one of your interests, hobbies or personality quirks. Ask your fellow Red Hat sisters for ideas they may have about an appropriate title for you.
Rules: We are a disorganization with NO "rules". The only really important suggestion is that our ladies MUST wear their "colors" at every official Red Hat event. This means wearing a Red Hat and purple clothing (for those lucky enough to be 50+ years old) or a Pink Hat and lavender clothing (for those who are waiting to turn 50 years old). The Queen is NOT amused when one of her ladies is not in full regalia!
It's perfectly acceptable to have more than one hat of the same color!
Several different types of Red hats will add pizzazz to various outfits in your wardrobe. And then there is the Au Contraire ruling that allows one to reverse her colors (Yes, you may wear a purple hat!) only during one's birth month. HAT WEARING TIPS
2. If you put a crouton on your ice cream sundae instead of a cherry, it counts like a salad.
3.The handle on your recliner DOES qualify as an exercise machine.
4. Start your exercise program very gradually so you don't hurt yourself...today just drive by a store that sells sweat pants!
Wear your hat on the top of your head, not on the back of your head. It should sit about one-finger width above your eyebrows and just above your ears. Very few people look better with their hats on the back of their heads.
Is your face round? Try asymmetrical styles, or wear a round shaped hat at an angle - it will draw the roundness out of your face.
Is your face narrow? Wear a big, upsweeping brim. It will broaden your face in a very flattering way.
If you're short, stay away from brims that will overwhelm your frame. Look for a pillbox with a flamboyant feather. 
How to wear a hat with Pizazz!!! Does anyone remember when Queen Mother's face was this round????

-->-written by Queen Mother Terri from the Throne Room of the Royal Castle in the Realm of Avon in Massachusetts 
Last night, my husband and I were sitting in the living room and I said to him, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug."
He got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my wine.
He's such an ass...
Ain't Life Grand?!?!
I have spent too much time caring what others thought!
I'll wear my new colors with verve and elan.
I'll greet other Red Hatters with a wave of my hand!
We'll all stand together,
the reds and the pinks.
We'll not give a damn what other folks think!
The Red Hat Society is far too much fun!
And I'm here to say~
I'm Proud to be one!!
One for the Girls
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my shape to keep.
Please no wrinkles, Please no bags
And please lift my butt before it sags.
Please no age spots, Please no gray
And as for my belly, Please take it away.
Please keep me healthy, Please keep me young,
And thank you Dear Lord, For all that you've done.
Five tips for a woman.....
1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.
2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.
3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn't lie to you.
4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.
5. It is important that these four men don't know each other.
Foot Note:
One saggy boob said to the other saggy boob:
'If we don't get some support soon, people will think we're nuts.'
HOW TO CLEAN THE HOUSE
1. Open a new file in your PC. 2. Name it 'Housework' 3. Send it to the RECYCLE BIN. 4. Empty the RECYCLE BIN. 5. Your PC will ask you, 'Are you sure you want to delete Housework permanently?' 6. Calmly answer, 'Yes' and press mouse button firmly

Special thanks to Jeni of FancySignatures for all the sparkly graphics and a BIG thank you to Queen Sally Gallagher for all the COMPLIMENTARY sparkly graphics she has provided to all Red Hatters!
