I came across a great catalog today which sales outdoor/athletic clothing for women called Title Nine (just now got the reference to women's collegiate sports). Of course I loved the merchandise in their catalog, but what I loved more were the models that they featured. They are all real women and the catalog features each one by identifying their name and a few fun facts.
What I also loved was the Founder's note on the inside front cover. I felt that this statement really defined me well Obviously, I am their target audience. Here is what it says:
"An athlete is...
A Mom squeezing in her workout before the kids wake up.
Candace Parker squeezing in one more rep as she prepares her post-partum body for another season of pro hoops.
A woman who juggles work commitments but never forgets her commitments to herself.
That woman on the elliptical breaking bad habits as she builds a better body.
Dana Torres (who by the way is my hero) breaking barriers even if she's not breaking records.
A girl discovering the competent machine that is her body.
A woman discovering the same thing.
What is an athlete? An athlete is you." -- Missy Park, Founder
If you have an opportunity, check out their site which also features these "real" models

Hey girl- miss you blogging!
Even if you want to take care of cooling the front porch
that I had to learn to do myself. There are some parts of an air conditioner and to
use lots of cloth pieces. What you're paying for is the flexibility to roll it from room-to-room thanks to the Internet. For a unit older than twelve years old, it is recommended to keep your condensate drain line clean.
