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.

Celebrating 40

Happy 40th! [Audience participation edition]

40w-readers
Amy, Jody, and Didi celebrate a 40th birthday. 

You know what we love most about this photo that 40 Whatever reader Amy sent us?  These girls look like they know how to throw a party.  And we're wondering why we weren't invited.

Check out that sass and verve.  They've got "40 whatever" written all over them, don't they?  How was the party?  Please let us know!

And, hey, you ladies look fabulous.

—Bad Kitty and CityMama


Would you and your 40 Whatever girlfriends like to be featured right here on 40 Whatever?  Email us a photo and tell us what you are doing!

How did you celebrate 40?

40-bday Bad Kitty turns 40 in a month and I hit 40 in fall.  For what seems like forever, we've been talking about how we'll spend our birthdays. Sure we'll have our celebrations with family and friends but then we'll have our celebration together.

Look out.

Back when we worked for the Man, we talked about going to Paris.  Now that we work for ourselves, we're wondering if Southwest still does that friends fly free thing.

We're still planning our big celebration (or celebrations, remember we're milking this thing for all it's worth), and as we do, we'll add more ideas to our Not Bucket List over there to your right. Whatever we do, you can be sure we're not going to lame out and pass out by 9pm like we did when we turned 21. (Or when one of us turned 21.)

In the meantime, we'd love to know how you celebrated your 40th. Did you do it up? Keep it mellow? Hide under your bed?

We're going to fix us all a couple of tall vodka drinks and grab a bag of potato chips, but when we come back we want you to tell us all about it.



Okay, cheers, we're ready.

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.
