| Intro Menopause (2) Return to index of stories... |
Ah. Menopause! That roller coaster ride of annonying, unpredictable symptoms: hot flashes, mood swings, memory lapses. For most women --it hits anywhere between the ages of 48 and 55. So, what's a woman to do? One suggestion: "When in Menopause. laugh! " That's what 2 women with a creative flair are encouraging others to do. Artist Wendy Hazen of "Wendy Hazen Designs" in New Castle and her friend Roz Davis-- a cartoonist and illustrator from Maine-- teamed up to create a new calendar to help women cope with the life change. "The Upside of Menopause-2006" is a humorous look at menopause. Wendy Hazen and Roz Davis join us now to talk about their new endeavor. Welcome. Q Okay.Most of us know the DOWNSIDE of Menopause -- You believe HUMOR is the UPSIDE. How did this All come about?? Q ROZ/WENDY: HOT flashes. More than 75% of women experience them to some degree. I noticed AUGUST.spoke to that SYMPTOM. Q ROZ/WENDY: Forgetting things.another common symptom. Would that be DECEMBER? Q ROZ/ What does JULY represent? Q WENDY: Is this calender - auto-biographical?? Safe to say -- that if you DON'T get it.you're NOT there yet. Q ROZ: Your Illustrations have a NewYorker feel to them.was that by DESIGN? STYLIZED ILLUSTRATIONS?? ** We've got some SAMPLES.Tell me what YOU were trying to convey? Q WENDY: Men go thru a MID-LIFE crisis.Women go thru MENOPAUSE. Have WOMEN learned to laugh at themselves and this CHANGE in life. Jokingly referred to as " Middle RAGES". Q ROZ/WENDY: What's been the REACTION? Is the market mostly WOMEN? Do they smile in RECOGNITION.maybe feel a little less alone? Q WENDY/ROZ: I understand you're EXPANDING the product line? With BABY boomers IN or NEAR Menopause -- that's a sizeable market. Hoping to TAP into that? ================== SO the message is: Don't take Menopause so seriously. LAUGH. My thanks to WENDY HAZEN & ROZ DAVIS Best of Luck to you. The CALENDER again: The UPSIDE of Menopause |
