About 40 Whatever

  • BFF's Bad Kitty of Wishbone Clover and Stefania of CityMama are turning 40 this year and we're milking it to death, just like Jennifer Aniston. Will John Mayer write us a special 40th birthday song? No? Whatever.
  • Already part of the 40w Club?
    Care to share your experiences? We love guest posters, especially those bearing wine. Email us, we'll get drunk together.

Doin' it, doin it, doin' it well: Savvy Auntie founder Melanie Notkin

Savvyauntie

"If this is what 40 looks like, bring it on baby." —Melanie Notkin (at her 40th birthday party)

To the savviest Savvy Auntie: For following your dreams and launching a successful media empire during some very tough times, for involving your community every step of the way, for providing a place where PANKs can come together to share ideas and gush, for being a positive presence both online and off, for showing everyone what a force a 40-year-old woman can be, we raise our glasses of champagne to you. In the immortal words of LL Cool J, Melanie Notkin is doin' it very well. Clink!

That is a *small* upper arm, yo! :P
Cute, though. I'm totally a PANK.
Or maybe a SANK. (slaquer) :P

Things to Do When We're 40 (The Not Bucket List)

  • A barbecue tour of the South
    We'll start in the Carolinas and end in Texas and sample the best barbecue America has to offer. Why? Because we like meat.
  • Hotel Living
    We like: mini bars, movies, and lounging around in our pajamas with our laptops right where they are supposed to be. We'll bring running shoes to pretend like we're going to work out, but really, who are we kidding. You see where this is going?
  • Knock some sense into dumb people
    We'd love to be the camp counselors on a show like the Real World or Rock of Love.
  • Eating Dinner in a Vineyard While the Sun Sets
    You know those scenes of a dining table set in a Tuscan or Sonoma vineyard dressed with beautiful linens and people sitting around it drinking wine and eating and laughing while the sun goes down? We want to be those people.
  • Yoga Retreat in New Mexico
    Some of our fondest memories are of spending time doing yoga together. Do other wannabe yoginis spend the entire class laughing together? We do.
