Wearing the lilac.

Please, oh wise, kind and beneficent (not to mention beauteous and radiant) MNHQ can we please have lilac flowers for the 25th of May?
For those not in the know, on the Discworld, this is the date of The People's Glorious Revolution, when those killed doing their duty are remembered by their comrades.
In our world, many now support the idea, not just to remember the wonder that was Sir Terry Pratchett, but also to remember those whose lives are affected by Alzheimer's and to raise awareness of this hideous embuggerance.
It's only a little thing, but it would be a lovely little thing.

Please please please please pleeeeeeeeeease!!

TrulyTurtles · 22/03/2015 15:15

Iona, it can't be that hard to get the lilac felt tips out for the non lilac ones.
I think I might crochet a bunch to wear in case the neighbours' bush fails.
And I want to be a GNU too.

I can picture it now, IonaMN, with Microsoft Paint, carefully lilacing the red and blue Flowers one pixel at a time, swearing under her breath....Grin

RustyBear · 22/03/2015 18:14

Won't let me upload my edited lilac!

This took about 10 minutes, I'm sure someone could do a better job...

Please, please. Proper conical lilac, mind you.
Don't make it too easy for them, Rusty.

iamEarthymama · 22/03/2015 21:37

I am in!
Please MNHQ, please.
This would be such a Good Thing to do.

And Gnu too.

BellMcEnd · 22/03/2015 21:42

Please? Smile

ladymalfoy · 22/03/2015 21:43

Please. SirTP created characters that confronted the injustices that MN members seek and find support about day after day.
And he liked cats. And hats.

malefridgeblindness · 22/03/2015 21:44

pretty please.

RJnomore · 22/03/2015 21:46

Adding my please.

CuttedUpPear · 22/03/2015 21:49

Lilac flowers, when seen close up, are very much like Rusty's version.
They are arranged in a conical fashion, true, but if it makes is easier, lilacifying the MN bouquet would not be incorrect botanically.

RebeccaMumsnet · 23/03/2015 14:33

We're sounding this one out with Tech atm, but it's a really lovely idea. Fingers crossed...

DeladionInch · 23/03/2015 14:43

Yes please! I've been wearing an item of purple clothing every day since he died but everyone else I know seems to have forgotten already Sad

owlonabike · 23/03/2015 14:49
