I heard there was a group like the Red Hat Society, but for younger women. Does anyone know the name of it?

According to the FAQs at the official site:

We allow junior postulates membership if they will agree to wear pink hats and lavender clothing, exchanging them for red and purple only after having THE birthday. We like to refer to this ceremony as a RED-uation!

The spirit of the Society forbids that we make rules per se, but we strongly suggest that you not wear the full red and purple until you are fifty. Younger members are invited to wear all types of pink hats and all shades of lavender clothing and to otherwise participate fully in all that the Red Hat Society has to offer.

Some Pink Hatters may even opt to start chapters of their own. But, they need not keep to themselves. Many chapters contain members of a wide age range. The younger are simply "ladies in waiting" so to speak, among older friends. So what's wrong with that? Whoever thought women would be looking FORWARD to their fiftieth birthdays? Nevertheless, anticipate your RED-uations without reservation and enjoy the pink and lavender days to the fullest!
