She's old, and wearing purple
Sep. 1st, 2007 05:48 pmWhen I saw the photo of Queen Elizabeth at the Diana memorial service yesterday
I thought of the poem "When I get old I'll wear purple."

She looks older in that picture than usual. Maybe it's because not wearing her glasses makes her
look like her mother. I don't know why she chose purple.
Maybe she was trying to make a fashion statement in tribute to her late ex-daughter-in-law.
My nicest suit, which I sometimes wear to funerals, is purple, although even with boxes full of hats I don't own anything like that.
