I wear maybe once or twice around Mardi Gras now - with some of my "good $$ Mardi Gras" beads !

Purple is really not a good color for me !!! |
Many years ago our sales assistant came to work in a beautiful purple suit. She was about 70 and was the sparkler in our office. When I saw her I said "When I am an old woman I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me." She glared at me told me she didn't have a damn red hat and to keep my fresh mouth shut.
It took 2 weeks of explaining (and a dozen roses) that I was quoting a line from a book to convince her I was wasn't an age-ist male creep.
My work-mates just about died laughing and refused to back me up. Helen and I eventually made up and we were fast friends 'til she died last year at age 89.
