The Red Hat Amaryllis Belladonnas"Naked Ladies" of Las Vegas

November 2009

Our Anniversary Poem

"Since Bette, our Queen, and Karen and Gail
And Margaret decided that there should be
A group of fun 'Red Hats' like you and me,
Six fabulous years have passed.
And soon there was Carolyn - a VEEP to be sure
Plus Brenda (pretty), Viola (strong), and Ruthie BG (smooth),
Giving us even more class.
Then scintillating Celia and clever Jean,
Beautiful Saloma and Norma the wise
And (cute) Ruthie W., Nancy (serene), and Ardella (bubbly),
Witty Adrienne, charming Carmen, Iola (enchanting)
And Joyce (jovial),
All make us a club to prize -
Because we've made it through six great years
With Rosemary along for the ride.
Let's give ourselves six rousing cheers
And show AMARYLLIS BELLADONNA Pride:
Hip Hip Hooray!
Red Hats Hooray!
Amaryllis Hooray!
Belladonnas Hooray!
Six years Hooray!
And six more - HOORAY!!!
- written by: Lady Rosemary (our Chapter Poetess)

Next Meeting: Oct. 24 2009 - No meetings in Nov. & Dec. - Enjoy your Holidays!

The Red Hat Amaryllis Belladonnas"Naked Ladies" of Las Vegas

AN OFFICIAL CHAPTER OF THE RED HAT SOCIETY

WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE

ABOUT US

The Las Vegas Amaryllis Belladonnas/"Naked Ladies" are a 5 year old official chapter of THE RED HAT SOCIETY. The RHS is based on the poem,"WARNING", by Jenny Joseph, where she humorously describes how she feels about growing older. We are a dynamic group of ladies who are young at heart, fun-loving, and 'in training' for when we get 'old'. None of us look a day over fifty (okay, fifty-one!) We believe in celebrating life, and take advantage of every opportunity to do so. Frequently, we go to events at the drop of a RED hat, but usually our outings take place once a month. Tea parties, the ballet, opera, eating out, comedy shows, road trips, camping & cruises, are some of our favorite things. We are young at heart, and fun-loving. We are a 'Sisterhood' who embrace our differences, and are open to new experiences. We attend all public 'fun'ctions DRESSED in RED hats and purple outfits. We love to laugh! "WARNING"!!! WE LIVE OUR LIVES TO THE FULLEST, AND MAKE ABSOLUTELY NO APOLOGIES!

OUR NAME
THE AMARYLLIS BELLADONNA

*Common name:belladonna lily, March lily, naked lady.
Amaryllis is Greek feminine and is named after a beautiful shepherdess. The specific epithet belladonna means beautiful lady. The appearance of the tall, flower stalk without any leaves accounts for the common name "naked lady". In a created landscape, Amaryllis can be used mixed in between blue Agapanthus as a good combination, as the evergreen leaves provide skirts for the naked ladies. Although most of the ABs are pale and dark pinks, they also grow in white and purple. But our favorite is the brilliant RED!
