Had a marvellous time at project runway

After talking so much on the Internet to another red hatter we finally met.

Lynette.  We talked on Facebook quite a bit.  Or at least I made comments on things she had put up and vies versa.  Down in Washington state at the at the silver reef casino. Doing red hat event.  

This one was a dinner and fashion show.  Well a very interesting fashion show at that.  The participants had to get a lampshade and decorate it into a hat.  The stipulation was that you had to buy all of your supplies at the dollar store. Sure came up with some interesting ways to decorate

 a lampshade.  Some went elligant others went all out and then the was just the plane silly.  All beautifully decorated with lots of imagination.

Elizabeth did a flamingo theme

This is a lampshade with a bra on top.  Looks like a boostiea.

A gambling lady

The use of an emergency blanket.  She said she was pretty hot after awhile.

Here are just a few of the hats with also a few going all out and doing a while costume from the dollar store.

So this was a get together of ladies from both sides of the border.  Getting together to enjoy everyone's company and make new friends and have a few laughs.

This is the first event where I started to reconize ladies I have seen before.  Sat with some ladies from surrey that I have been to other places with.  So I am starting to feel more comfortable with going to these places and meeting new people.  I walked a round the room and little and you know I recognized allot of ladies.  From seeing on Facebook and from other events.  They are so welcoming. And love to hear what I have been up to and vice versa.

Well anyways back to the event.  We where registered into the room and given a breast cancer pin.  The event raised around 700 dollars for cancer research.  Very good job.  They raffled off two quilts, 

Oh yeah a meal as well.  Buffet with lots and lots of food.  Chicken and seafood.  Veggies and pasta salads.  Dessert was on the table and you know a few had their dessert first.  You know that is a red hat thing.  Enjoy your dessert first.  I like that motto.  I do that more then I do eating my first course.  

Here you go red hats everywhere.  After the event was over you would be out in the casino and see red hats everywhere out the playing the slots.

I tried a little again but that was the end of my luck.  I could put money in and it would go just as fast.  Didn't loose what I won yesterday but if I would have kept going probably would have.

Oh it was good to see Darlyne and Angela out to enjoy a red hat time together.  Also congrats to Angela for having her last checkup being told she is cancer free.  Koodos to her.
