Introducing the BLUE THONG SOCIETY
This sounds like a lot of fun and something different!
The Blue Thong Society is a fun, fabulous, smart, and sassy women of all ages who have blazed new trails and broken the molds since birth.

Now we’re ready for our ‘next rally’: a time for us, our girlfriends, and to give back to our communities while having fun!
We Will Blend the Generations and “Fight Frump!”
We carry with us the powerful message that lives in our hearts, which we gained (and we don’t mean pounds) from what we fought for in our youth and how it made us the wonderful and powerful women we are today. We’ve never been good at sitting down and shutting up and we’re not about to start now. Blue haired? No way. Blue Thong? Any day. So rise up ladies! Get on the phone, invite your friends over and gather ‘round your kitchen counters to celebrate and embrace our enlightened, dynamic and enduring selves!

Defending the Cave Man – Long Wharf Theatre, New Haven CT 8/11-22
Discover Why Men & Women Think So Differently
This is a great play! Funny and totally on target. The play is a one man show with the character describing the difference between how men and women think. I recommend that all my single women friends and dating coaching clients see it. Fabulous insights into why men think what they think and why we don’t see it the same way. I learned a lot. Plus, it’s very entertaining – you will laugh, really laugh!
If you’re married or in a relationship – you’ll understand your man better. Go with him even. I totally loved it. Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven is a great open theatre that has a warm, cozy atmosphere. So much better than a big impersonal theatre – you can really see everything that’s going on and not a bad seat in the house.
Make it a girl’s night out and enjoy!

Complete their FREE personality test over 8 million people have taken, and start communicating now for FREE.
I’m not a big fan of personality tests on web sites. In fact, I spoke to a woman once who talked directly to someone inside eharmony who admitted they don’t really match on all 29 personality characteristics. Not only that, they just don’t have the inventory of men over 35. But free is free and this isn’t eHarmony. It’s part of Match.com – the biggest online dating site there is.
So if you have ever been curious, NOW is the TIME!
Do you need some help writing a profile? No problem.

NYC Singles: “Single and the City” Hosts Mixers with a Twist!

Ronnie Interviewed on BBC Radio 5 Live
Ronnie was interviewed on the BBC Radio 5 Live Weekend News program talking about author Lori Gottlieb and settling! “I hate the word “settling”-too negative. It’s realism vs. getting less than you deserve.” Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here.

Dating Over 40: NY Times Article Looks at Cougars & Mentions New Book with My Chapter
If you are interested in the cougar phenomenon, the NY Times ran a very interesting article that includes authorities from many research studies around the country. The article, entitled “Rethinking the older woman-younger man relationship” is lengthy and filled with surprising statistics about this new trend that began with the stars and is now part of real life.
At the very end, the author mentions the new book with my chapter – Don’t Ever Call Me Ma’am, by Linda Franklin. How exciting! Her book does take a fresh look at women over 40, not as preying on younger men, but as being smart, sexy, independent women proud to be over 40. That’s hard to argue with if you ask me! What over 40 women doesn’t want to be described this way?
Linda Franklin encourages women to live full, rich lives and to go for their dreams. This is a positive and empowering message. Since her background is financial, the final chapters are devoted to managing your money and she offers lots of great advice.
Feeling cougar-like or willing to admit you’re a wanna be? Great – pick up your copy today.
Dating After 40: Ronnie is Featured on Your Next Quest

Dating Over 40: Read My Chapter in The Real Cougar Woman Handbook
Are you curious about the cougar lifestyle? What is it all about? From finances to romance, this new book by Linda Franklin covers it all. And my secrets for a real cougar woman love life are in chapter 9! I’m so excited to be a part of this fabulous new book which is already getting rave reviews on Amazon.
Linda Franklin, the founder of The Real Cougar Woman, has an interesting story to tell. She was the first Canadian woman to own a seat on the New York Stock Exchange and manage an all-male trading department for a leading Wall Street firm. She left the “old boys club” to start Real Cougar Woman and discover the secrets that make an over 40 woman look and feel fabulous. Today Linda helps thousands of women unleash their Real Cougar.
Chapters include topics like soul searching, hormones, sex, financial independence, anti-aging and love among others! Linda’s definition of being a Real Cougar varies a bit from the TV hype and tacky shows like Cougar Town. Instead, the author encourages women to be smart, sexy, independent and proud to be over 40! She takes a very positive and healthy approach to this feline look at maturing and falling in love with life.
This is sure to zoom to the best seller list and I am thrilled to be a part of things. I consider myself a cougar because I was over 40 when I met my husband who is four years younger (and he always will be darn it! But hey, it’s only a number right?)

Dating Over 40: The 1st Goddess for Bella Zadore
It’s official – I’ve been selecoaching, Bella Zadore, Goddess, maa Genacted as the premiere featured Goddess for the Bella Zadore business launch! Check it out here.
Bella Zadore is actually a lifestyle brand for women with a collection of 12 animated characters who make you think, laugh, appreciate being a woman and become more Goddess-like.
To my clients and readers – I highly recommend elevating yourself to Goddess status. It’s great for your self-image and self-esteem.
Myself, I relate to Venus, the Goddess of Love, when I am doing work with my over 40 dating coaching clients. She offers me the architype for romantic love and the ability for all women to find the loving relationship they deserve. Venus, who has inspired countless artists to carve and painted her over the centuries, can still offer us inspiration today.
For example, how would you dress if you were a Goddess? How would you interact with men if you knew you were a Goddess? What would be different about dating knowing that you have the charm and attraction of Venus? You can tap into Venus any time to borrow some of her grace, beauty, charm, appeal, and wisdom. That’s the point of working with archetypes – to help you adopt qualities you may feel you lack or have difficulties with.
Venus loves all, including you. And she’ll share everything she’s got with you if you just ask. Venus will help you connect to the divine within each and everyone of you. I’ts in there just like the spices in Prego spaghetti sauce. As a woman, it’s your job to find that part of your soul and let her out!
Just for today, allow yourself to pretend that you are a Goddess with Goddess-like qualities. Enjoy the feeling. Enjoy the self-image. Enjoy the feeling of empowerment. It’s all you baby! Just like Mama Gena says, it’s not Helen of Troy whose faced launched a thousand ships, it’s you. My advice? Take that to heart and shine!

Over 40 Dating: New FREE ebook Explains 5 Big Turnoffs that Drive Men Away
I’m so excited because I just gave away 56 copies of my latest ebook – 5 Big Turnoffs that Drive Men Away & 7 Surefire Ways to Make Men Want You.
As a dating coach, this is a thrill to share these insightful tips. Anyone can get a copy by subscribing to my newsletter Kiss & Tell. – It’s just over to right of this blog post in the next column.
ebook Focuses on Do’s & Don’ts
How did the book come about? In April I put together the Flirt School workshop and came up with this list of 12 items – 5 don’ts and 7 do’s. I ran the entire 3-hour workshop and we covered everything you can imagine. Except – you got it, the 5 Turnoffs and 7 Ways to Make ‘em Want Ya. Just too much information to cram into a short time.
One attendee sent me an email requesting the information that I had promised. I got a good laugh at myself for that one. I thought I’d dash off a quick email. That’s what turned into my ebook. I just couldn’t stop writing!
Some of the turnoffs may seem rather obvious to many of you but for others, to discover these seemingly harmless behaviors will drive men away is eye-opening.
Here’s one example:
Topics to Avoid on a First Date
Don’t talk about how hard meeting people is or the bad experiences you’ve had with online dating. That doesn’t put you in a good light. Instead, you may appear “hard to place” the a head hunter would think about you for a job search.
Avoid any down topics on the first date like the economy, divorce, illness, child or parental issues. Don’t talk about what doesn’t work for you and what you don’t like. The goal is to show your very best side.
Focus on enjoying each other’s company. Find out if you can hold a conversation and understand each other’s sense of humor. Ask about favorite foods, vacation spots, hobbies or passions. That will be far more fun!
Common Dating Pitfalls
The ebook offers a common sense approach to what I consider dating coaching basics. If you can follow the majority of these suggestions, you can shift your dating experience and create more opportunities for yourself. By avoiding some common and unfortunate pitfalls and learning how to show off your best side – you can find the love you want!
