...via e-mail from Gina "Pinups For Vets" Elise, who has knocked Theda Bara and Clara Bow off my "Hawt Chix I Gotta Meet" list (Veronica Lake and each of the Denizennes are still firmly ensconced, naturally).
I have made some new additions to the website. If you click on "In the News", you will see an interview from my recent trip to the 2007 BlogWorldExpo in Las Vegas. I met some amazing people there---including ... " [the Armorer Hisself] "... I posted pictures from this trip on the "In the Field"pages starting on page 16.Just returned from making a visit to the VA Hospital in San Diego and spending time to give out many of YOUR donated calendars to the hospitalized vets there. I met some amazing people including a 96 year old female WWII Vet--she was in the Army Signal Corps for four years. I was visiting with another Vet who had suffered a traumatic brain injury. I was talking to him...he told me his name, birthday, branch of the military...and after I left the room, the nurses told me that this was the first time he's talked in a month!!!
Which proves my contention that a Lady can be therapeutic as well as decorative (*sooooo gonna take hits for that*).
Gina does good work and she'll be visiting more VA hospitals in the near future and for a chick with a 1940's mindset, she's making good use of 21st Century digits -- check out her Holiday for the Troops clip and an "up close and personal" explanation of what -- and *who* -- Pinups For Vets is all about.
And while you're visiting the site, spring for a couple of calendars, okay?
