Okay Missy.. on Friday you will no longer be Billie Blue but Billie Red.. or will it be Billie Blue in Red???

LOL

Thank you for the weekend thread. Love the pledge & the "red" greeting. Remember a few decades ago when we would have been insulted to be "red"... a lot of changes in words, meanings etc.

Funny. I do have on ALL red today without thinking. Still in my morning clean/take out gungies.. red sweats, red tank top & red cotton man's shirt atop. Didn't plan it etiher.. well, I have/wear a lot of red.

Getting ready a movie review & realized I MUST have it in a table! har .. see your influence is haunting

Hi Dolly, guess I'll have to find a red ribbon to put on my yellow dress.

Interesting indeed Dolly I can remember as a child that my nan and even my mum considered it was only women of "certain type" wore red dresses. I can remember how my nan used to be upset about the connotations of red because it was her favourite colour and was quite pleased when she found out that people no any longer consider wearing red was a problem and she wore it with pride then.

Of course in Britain red also has links with the Labour Party and and socialists in general so most senior Conservatives wives do not often wear red. Having said that Mrs Thatcher used to sometimes wear red I always thought with her that was the power thing like nowadays the red tie is considered symbol of power.
