Here is a picture from our LA trip that we just came back from!  SOO much fun!  We stayed in West Hollywood at the Chamberlin Hotel.  Highly recommend!  We came back a week ago, and I am still exhausted.  Back row:  Dawn on left, Tina on Right.  Front Row:  Jamey on left, Shelly, Julie, Teresa. 

Indy Girls Gone Wild!

My new picture is of my Sister Inlaw Julie, and myself at our Halloween Party.  Tina is on the left, Julie on the right.  We had a blast.  We were Hooter girls. We were actually sopposed to be Vampire Hooter girls, but the darn fangs would not stay on.  Staying hydrated was just too important to have to deal with our fangs falling off constantly 

Well who would have guessed, but after eight months the desperate housewive contest has resurfaced  The Bayhill Babes are on their way to an interview today with Channel 6 in Indianapolis.  I am just a little nervous, ok alot nervous!  We are actually having a Margarita Laundry day, and Channel 6 is going to join us.  I am not sure when this will air exactly, but I will let you know.  I have to get back into my desperate housewives state of mind again.  That is all  we thought about eight months ago when the contest was going on, but now I am just a little Distracted.  Actually Distracted Housewives would be a better Title for the Bayhill Babes right now  Well, wish us luck.  I really get nervous talking on camera.  Unfortunately I am alot like Susan and it would be just like me to trip or stumble on words during our interview.   Yes, I am an accident waiting to happen

Bye for now

Hello,

Here is just a little background on the "Bayhill Babes"  and how we entered the "Hottest Housewives contest".  We were all together watching "Access Hollywood" when they announced that they were looking for friends that could rival Wisteria Lane, The "Desperate Housewives".  Well if there has ever been some friends crazy enough to do this, we knew we were We are all at least 35, very happily married with wonderful kids,  that alone was a great start in rivaling the "Desperate Housewives" who pretty much are all having affairs etc.     We definately are not your typical stay at home Moms though.   We live in a neighborhood that actually has a waiting list to move onto our block because the neighborhood has such a great reputation.  Dawn, who is pictured in the bottom center of our group photo is known as our "Event Director".  You never know what she will come up with, but believe me you know that you are definately going  to have a good time  A few examples, "Flamingo Friday",  every Friday the neighbors get together for a pitch in,  food and lots of drinks!  "The Stepford Wives Pool Party" each wife had to come dressed as a stepford wife, or a stepford wife gone bad!  I'll  let you try to imagine what a few of the girls showed up wearing  "Margarita Laundry Day"  mom's get together and do that dreaded laundry (large comforters etc.), but we join forces and have a few margaritas or whatever your favorite drink of choice may be.  You don't even have to bring laundry if you do not want to.  Boy, it makes for a long, hard day  For those of you that watched our video on Access Hollywood, you will also know that we  have a Belly Club in our neighborhood.  One by One, Moms would secretly ask Tina where they could go to get their bellys pierced.  Low and behold at the pool last summer we realized that we actually were not alone, we had each joined  There were enough of us to call our group the "Belly Club".  We definately do not want to set a bad example, so let me clarify, we were all at least over 30 when we joined the club.  We do not, absolutely do not, recommend this to anyone under the age of 30, (unless supervised by an adult  

Tina is also the one who loves "hot lips" and has a small, tasteful tatoo of one.   Had she known that Access Hollywood would show this over and over again, she maybe would have thought twice about showing it.  Well..... probably not, but for those who had a problem with it, we thought that sounded good  We never dreamed that this would go so far! We sent the video in thinking that this would never really be seen.   We were so proud that our video was choosen out of thousands of videos to be one of the top ten.   We were contacted by three radio talk shows for interviews, and RTV 6 had a news segment about our group.  The day our video aired on Access Hollywood, Champs played our segment on their  big screens, and most of our neighborhood showed up in support.  There were even Moms that had  T-Shirts printed up cheering on the "Bayhill Babes".  We then won the semi finals with 3,300 votes.  From there we advanced into the top 6 finalist, and placed first with America voting for us.  There was also another great group of ladies from Indiana that placed Third, "Ladies of Laura Ln." Way to go Indiana! Unfortunately, Access Hollywood made the final decision and picked the fourth place group, a local California group "The Holstein Housewives" as the winner. 

 Thru this process we have also had a few nonsupporters saying that we are "not really housewives, just overaged, needing attention." Well, if having fun, doing something that we can show our Grandkids later in life, is being overaged, needing attention, then so be it  Living life to it's fullest- Rocks!  So those of you wanting to do something, but are afraid that you may cross the line, GO FOR IT!  Life is tooo short, live life to it's fullest, and live life for yourself, not others.  

No regrets here, We feel so blessed that we had this opportunity, we are just waiting for our next adventure!

Bye for now...."The Bayhill Babes"
