Surreality
Well, there must be a new cult going around. That, or some bizarre affliction leaving several dozen middle-aged to older ladies colorblind. On my way to the Capitol building this afternoon for my class on legislative activities, I encountered a group of women so large, it may properly be considered a 'gaggle.'
Aside from the unusual circumstance of a large grouping of older women congregating in the Capitol rotunda, one thing in particular caught my eye. Every one of them, from the first to the last, was wearing purple and red. I'm willing to pass judgment here, because I'm obviously a fashion god. Red is an acceptable color to wear. Purple is an acceptable color to wear. Wearing both simultaneously tells me that you got dressed in the dark, that I stepped through a portal into the 1980's again, or that you are functionally colorblind.
And even weirder was the fact that they were all wearing hats. When is the last time you saw a woman, even an older woman, wearing a hat casually out on the town? It doesn't happen all that often in Kansas anyway. Finding several dozen of them all at once in the same place was a bit on the odd side, to be sure.
Perhaps we need some kind of investigation into some new religious cult activity among our state's elderly. I'm concerned for their well-being if there is some charismatic leader ordering them to wear disastrous outfits.

Excellent work, detective MMD. The situation is far, far worse than I had imagined. Not only has this cult of badly dressed elderly women spread its insidious tendrils throughout Kansas, but has established itself on a national, and even international, scope. They apparently are led by a woman who (tellingly) is referred to as "the Queen." Something must be done to stop this awful, awful travesty of color-coordination. The real test is in discovering whether they are merely unable to tell that red/purple look terrible together, or whether their awful fashion sense extends to orange/green combinations as well.
