My sister asked me if I would be her other half for a team for Avon's major breast cancer awareness walk in DC this May. Of course I would! What a great way to bond with my sister while raising awareness for breast cancer!
Maybe get a little PR for the whole Hope Diamond / Harry Winston thing... this could be fun!

| What curse? Our father, Richard Winston, putting the Hope Diamond on a model. 1958? |
Of course we have to wink/nod at the Hope Diamond (did I mention we have connections to the Hope Diamond, our great uncle being Harry Winston and all?) and me being the breast cancer survivor, I wanted to get kinda cheeky (refer to my victory flag pink ribbon tattoo post) and suggested The Winston Cups. My sister, the team captain and total-under-appreciator of NASCAR, proposed Hope & Diamonds... but I can't contact a past NASCAR Winston Cup champion (you see where I'm going with this?) for support when I sound like some Park Avenue princess... oh wait....
It's like trying to pick a band name. We veered into odd territories for a few days... Quadroboobia... pitched possibilities via facebook posts... did I mention my sister is a G cup? We took a step back, reviewed our goals, and finally decided on.... *drum roll*
Winston Cups:
Hope & Diamonds

I can walk 39 miles... I walk that in one race weekend at Watkins Glen. I will start training tomorrow. When those snow squalls stop. And if it turns into 36 miles of unstoppable hope and 3 miles of incessant whining, at least we can say we did it! Did what, I still have yet to learn. I hope there's a bubble bath at the end of it. And Swedish Fish.
I'm already exhausted and I haven't even opened my first legal document. Or raised a dime.
39 miles. Me and my sister. Hahahahahaaa!!!!
Dear Mr. Labonte...

A) I'm guessing the picture had to be before 1958 since he's not wearing a wedding ring and he ALWAYS wore his wedding ring.
B) Have to give photo credit in the picture of US to the late great Bill Koenig, who took it outside of the New York Yankees' Tampa spring training stadium. I knew it as Legends Field but I think it's like the George H. Steinbrenner This Name Is Too Long To Fit On A Marquee Stadium now.
C) Thanks for outing my bra size. Bitch. Hee.
