Red Hat Society

[Kanandarqu]

Several months ago I was in Quincy IL at a diner and 
saw a group of women (ok, there was a man or two),
who all had large red hats and occasional feathery
boas, and various loud red and purple outfits.  They
appeared to be having a grand old time, enough 
that I asked them what kind of a group they
were- one woman told me we are the red hats.
I thought it was just a local woman's group
until the bookstore today.  I saw a book today
on the Society of the Red Hats... a group started
by a woman buying large red hats for her friends who
were turning 50 and should be enjoying life.  
This sounds like a great way to symbolically 
celebrate small wonderful parts of life.  

Anyone else run into one of these groups?   
Anyone got a story of similar groups that
get together for the fun of it?  (ok, 
maybe it is just the updated version of the 
bowling league theme, but I thought it 
was cool.)

Still gotta actually buy and read the book :-)

Sounds very constricting...

Not that I've had immediate personal experience with it, but I'm told
that feather boas can be liberating.  :)

but feather boas shed feathers like nobody's business
