" I'm not sure why the Red & Purple go together in this way when they really do clash."

Dear Red Hot Mamas, I`ll try to explain. RED is colour of vital energy known as chi or prana. Somewhere you can find explanation that energy of anger is red coloured. That`s also truth. Each time when we are angry of some one , WE GIVE OUR chi energy TO THAT PERSONE! So, tranquility holds our chi energy with us.

Purple ray (and colour) holds spirituality and power, also it goes with mysticism, seduction etc.

So,  women above 50, usually   have more wisdom than when they were younger, and they do not allow each anger to disappear their most important energy. Red hat suits them very well.

Wisdom is bandwidth with power (and it is power). Power to direct chi for the greatest wealth and joy ...

So, Red Hot Mamas know what suits them the best!

Hi Dimitra:

First off, Happy Birthday (50's are the NEW 40's, trust me!)

May I suggest that if hats are not your thang that you consider a red head band & a purple feather, which is what a cool 1920's flapper would wear.

GO FOR IT,

Joe 

Thank you Dimitra, I'm old 'nuff to remember what the flappers wore in the 1920's, & I was once engaged to a Revlon model for a time, the models of those bygone years wore feathers everywhere, ROFL!

If my wife wasn't a RED HAT herself, I'd never have dared posted in here, you women are too tough for me, but I admit, I LOVE WOMEN!!!

Dah Joe!
