She has grand adventures. I've written about some few of them. Here. Here. Here.
Like all great American heroes, she has a sidekick who joins her on many escapades. Here. Here. Aaaannnddd Here.
Like all great American heroes, she has garnered a small following. She has groupies -those who love to be in her presence. Just a few weeks ago, I had a Silpada jewelry party.
