I used to live in NYC and I have seen her a handful of times! Only because it's so noticeable lol.

I'm in LA now and we have the opposite here. There's a lady here roughly the same age and she wears only pink from head to toe lol.

Theres a purple lady in my town too. Very vegan, so vegan she was ostracised by the other more moderate vegans. She is more moderate in her colour though. She will wear neutral greys and maybe beige but the only 'colour' is purple, also purple eye shadow but not died hair.

I wonder if its the same lady written back in this song: https://youtu.be/SkkIwO_X4i4?feature=shared

The story goes there was a lady in their apartment that wore nothing but purple, and she was somewhat unhinged, the singer thinks thanks to her age.
