Rim Tours or Western Spirit? I know the owners of both, and I just can't see Matty Hebbard (of Rim) modelling a skort...though it may not take much to convince him to put one on .

Ashleigh whose-last-name-escapes-me and her husband Mark Sevenof have Western Spirit.

Kristin Peterson - I think....

Of course... I could be wrong. It's happened before.

There's plenty I don't know about Rim, I've just always known Matty as *the owner*. He's a total crack-up !

This might sound cheesy, but T9 inspired me to become a triathlete. I was an assumed nerd who balanced studying with studying, and whenever I wasn't studying, I was feeling guilty. One day while visiting my BF's mom, I came a cross the catalog and read the little captions about these athletic-looking women. One of them was a graduate student and a long-distance, cold-weather runner. I thought "if she can do it, so can I." So, three Christmases ago a told my BF that before I turned 25 I was going to do a triathlon (the image of triathletes at the world championship has been imprinted on my brain since childhood). I'm still 24 and I have done plenty of tris, and I still graduated from university with the highest GPA in my class. So, even though there is no way in hell I can afford their clothes, I have a soft spot in my heart for T9. As for some of the "over achievers," ladies, it is a purely subjective manner. Think that from the perspective of the sedentary majority, the fact that we get out of bed and put our asses on a saddle is already a feat of strenght. We balance life with fitness and do our best at it - now that is an accomplishment.

That's a really cool story ! Congratulations.

Of course, one's definition of over-achiever is completely subjective.

Speaking for myself of course, but I think we're all proud of what we do, and while we're striving to be better versions of ourselves, we're more inspired than daunted by the interesting women in that catalog.

I still envy their legs, though !!!

[VenusdeVelo]

They do have great legs, they ALL have great legs, I agree!! I'd like a set!

hi, everyone. Ol' latelate has been (sadly) too bizzy to participate in the forum, but I read when I can and send you all air kisses, bear hugs, and Snoopy happy dances as required - they just float out into the ether to you.

As an author who has had to write her bios, flap copy, etc, I just gotta say that any of you could sound just as amazing as the Title 9 women you've been talking about. Okay, YOU know your sink is piled with dirty dishes, you haven't talked to your mother in 2 months, and sometimes you eat chocolate chips in the dark, but that doesn't go in the copy. I know people read mine and think I have a dream life. Hah!

Challenge : write your own blurb, and see how amazing you are!

Queen, you're the best. A plump! woman with one of the coolest avatars going...

Thanks. I also covet their physiques. I wander if they photoshop ( )
