Red, red weekend
Bonnie's Closet will be marking the ninth anniversary of the Red Hat Society with wine, cheese, red-hat contests and discounts on all red and purple clothing from 4 to 7 p.m. tomorrow.
For the young'uns who haven't heard about the society, it was founded in the spirit of fun to allow women over the age of 50 to flout all rules of modesty and color sense by leaving their homes on designated days dressed in flamboyant purple dresses and red hats. There are approximately 75 Red Hat chapters in Hawaii. (Those younger than 50 may participate by donning lavender dresses with pink hats.)
Shoppers will also receive discounts from noon Friday, and noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, with another red-hat contest at 2 p.m. Saturday and raffle drawings both days.
Bonnie's Closet is at 1026 Nuuanu Ave. Call 585-8116 for more information.

Off celebs' backs
With all the fascination over wearing what celebs wear, the next step is taking the clothes off their stylish backs, and now you can do just that via the "Beautiful Skin Is Fashionable" celebrity charity auction hosted by Jergens Skincare to celebrate its 125th anniversary, and the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation.
The foundation was created by Jane Kaczmarek ("Malcolm in the Middle") and Bradley Whitford ("The West Wing," "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip") to auction celebrity clothing to raise money for children's charities.
Stars who have donated their clothing include Charlize Theron, Jessica Biel, Jacinda Barrett, Penelope Cruz, Maria Sharapova and Tori Spelling.
View the auctions at www.jergens.com or www.clothesoffourback.org. All auction winners will also receive a complete wardrobe of Jergens. The auctions end May 3.

The winners' children will be photographed and a care package with portraits, a DVD slide show and other items will be shipped to him.
