Red Hat Convention
Grand Rapids, Michigan

Every September, hundreds of women age 50 and older don red headgear and descend on Grand Rapids, Michigan, for the Red Hat Convention.

"We believe silliness is the comedy relief of life," says the website of the Red Hat Society, a 40,000-chapter, national organization that runs the event and promotes a lighthearted approach to middle age.

Here, a participant shows photographer and National Geographic Young Explorer Ross McDermott her tattoo. After taking her photo, he watched her roar off on a motorcycle.
