Fun: Adelaide Gives Back the Mink, etc.

Instead of working on a proper blog post for today I spent the time watching the Frank Sinatra/Marlon Brando version of Guys and Dolls. Interesting meditation on good/bad, marriage/single, faith/luck, religion/spirit. Do you think the messages hold up from 1938?

Fun: Wilhelmina Model Search Seeks Foxy Women Over 40

Feelin' foxy?

The Wilhelmina modeling agency is holding a modeling contest for women over 40. In a way it's a little sad that there actually has to be this classification -- after all, why can't they just all be models? And I'm pretty sure the model they have there isn't over 40, but whatever.

Here you go, if you're up for it! But remember what we said earlier this week about making strategic career decisions.

I loved this story from the Washington Post, about  a basketball league for women in their 40s through 60s that began in 1991.


"It's the game in its purest form. We love this game," Heather Stevens-Kittner of Arlington said as she sat in a chair waiting to get back on the court. "We love playing this game. We don't care who wins. We don't care who scores. When someone on the other team makes a nice play, we cheer."

Stay in the sweet spot, ladies.

"Women all around the world, no matter your age, you can get together and anything is possible, if you believe in yourself," the crew's owner and director Traci Hawkins told the Inland Daily Bulletin.
