From the Ass Hat Society Files

Reader Ann writes:


What a bunch of narrow-minded fools there are in this world. I am proud to be a member of the Red Hat Society. I have raise 4 great kids to responsible adults. I have worked any number of jobs to support those kids, and done what ever I had to do to see that they were taken care of. During the time I was doing this, I had very little time for making friends of my own. I found myself recently with the kids all grown and out of the house, and I finally had time to have friends and go out and have fun.

Yes, we wear our red hats proudly with our purple outfits. How unfortunate that some of you resent us this little bit of fun. Perhaps you think we look ridiculous, but I can guarantee you, we look like socialites compared to the idiots you can see at any sporting event with painted faces, multicolored clown wigs, and disgusting beer bellies bared to the world. The sad things is that is not only acceptable to the male-dominated world, obviously tv cameramen seem to think that we want to see these drunken, obnoxious beasts on our television screens. Perhaps we wear red hats, but we do not encourage each other to become drunk out of our minds and bare areas of our bodies that no one wants to see.

Sounds to me that the men that resent the Red Hat Society, only resent it because they fear strong self-confident women that do not need a male presence to make them feel like a valuable human being. Get over yourselves, or crawl back into your caves.


I just keep making new friends every day.


Update: this is disgusting. Or not.

Can't you just feel the love? How old is that original post, anyway? Obviously a bunch of old hens with nothing better to do than google themselves for "touchy-feely" nicie-nice for their menopause-demented egos.

You realize, the purple dress and red hat are the aging woman's brownshirt.

"we do not encourage each other to become drunk out of our minds and bare areas of our bodies that no one wants to see"...and thank god for that.

Gosh, no kidding, Zonker. I've seen some of them. Not as bad as me, but I don't go baring bodyparts unbidden, either. And I didn't need headgear induced groupthink to tell me not to.

Now, when strippers start a Red Thong Ladies, I might feel differently. Might even join.

The Jacksonville, FL chapter in their finery.

Hey, even I'd join the Red Thong Society.

For the record, and as an observing male, the southeast Virginia chapter of the club swerves toward the procurance of a new and trendy restuarant on a biweekly basis. Preferably a restuarant with a liberal happy hour policy. I can verify the sighting of a lavender Lincoln with red hat hood ornament and an empty fifth of Parrot Bay on the rear window deck . . .

Queenie, I think it's time we started one.

Be afraid, be very afraid. I understand that you have to be over fifty to wear the red hat, but they allow younger women to join, all they have to do is wear a pink hat.

What color hat is your wife wearing?

I know that it occurred to me to scare my husband by just mentioning buying a red hat. I wonder how much fun your wife could have buying a pink one.

Makes me smile just thinking about it, wish I could tell her to run right out and get one. I think your reaction would be priceless.

Happy New Year!

The Veloci-Goddess in a pink hat? Perish the thought! She's going to join the Red Thong Ladies with Queenie and me.

Posted by: Mamamontezz at January 3, 2005 12:08 AM

Mama, if you and Queenie go with red briefs, full coverage underwear, I'd be willing to join, but flossing my keester with an up the butt thong, no thanks, I'd rather go without than floss my behind. Just the thought ruins my day. Ewww, the discomfort.

Did you pick on the Red Hat ladies? You insensitive sumbitch.

The linked picture is hilariously repulsive. I kind of liken those two old broads to two elephants (or draft horses or camels, whatever) having sex: one glance and you’re strangely compelled to keep looking, even though you want desperately to look away and are morbidly afraid of retinal scarring if you do not.

But in a couple of respects I do agree with Ann: the Red Hat ladies are no more ridiculous than the painted and astoundingly jello-iferous beer bellies that are regularly bared at numerous sporting events. I further see nothing wrong with a bunch of socially backwards old biddies getting themselves out to Red Lobster once a month to give the wait staff a hard time. With compulsory gratuity included in every check, of course. It kind of irritates me when I hear people bitching about them; besides the poor waiter or waitress at RL or The Olive Garden, who really gives a damn about the Red Hats? Let ‘em go have what for them passes for fun. Lots of people probably think reading blogs and commenting on what you read is a huge waste of time, but I would beg to differ. For me, it passes for fun.

I do take issue with her statement that no one wants to see the painted slobs on the TV, however. I do. I also think Ann and her club would benefit greatly from encouraging one another to get drunk out of their minds. From the linked picture, it would seem that the Jax chapter probably don’t have a problem with that. Or at least they don’t seem to have a problem with the little yellow pills.

I do not know what the big deal is! I think that everyone should be able to wear and do what they choose as long as they do not run around naked or show body parts that are inapproiate to show in public. As for men, I think underwear such as under shirts and no shirt is as offensive in public places as a woman who totally topless or in her bra. The Purple Lady Society is great for older women who like to have fun and make new friends. It seems that society is still youth oriented and male dominated. Men who critize and poke fun, GET OVER IT and find something better to do with your time.

By the way, TheRedThongSociety.org is just weeks away from becoming official! Stay tuned....

I happen to be one of the women that can't wait for the red thong society to start up, it's the only color I don't own, and I can't wait to paint my face and act like "a fool" once preseason ends and the regular football season begins
