I just had an idea and don't remember seening one of these

I want to make a Red Hat society dottee doll if you don't know what the Red Hat Society is just google it which was inspired by this poem.

Warning

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple

With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick flowers in other people's gardens And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and pickle for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children. We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple. By Jenny Joseph

you don't have to be a official or unofficial member (over 50 ) of the society to play .

we will have one partner

make one dottee doll using the red hat theme

she must fit the dottee doll requirements 3 - 5 inches, and have a tail and hanger

and since she is a member of the red hat society she must have a red hat

use your imagination and create her how ever you want

have fun with her and make her a special doll

Rules

sorry no newbies

you must have a 4.8 or higher to play

at least 10 real mail swaps

International welcome

I will ban after signup if i need to but if you see someone fishy please PM me

I used to work in a movie theater and one day a herd of gray haired women came in dressed all in purple and wearing all manner of red hats. It remains my goal in life to become one of these fiesty women when I'm old enough.

WOW I can't believe it! Yesterday I made a dotee with a red hat and a purple dress although I'd never heard about the RHS. What a coincidence!
