    GracefulEdge.com Goes LIVE!
    Two Washington D.C. Women
    Launch Sassy Website for Active Women

    April 30, 2007, Washington D.C. - - Graceful Edge (http://
    www.GracefulEdge.com) launches, the fun and sassy website for the hip
    and adventurous woman. Through its free emails, Graceful Edge readers
    get fun tidbits on the latest in cool gear, active apparel and awesome
    experiences for a wide range of activities - running, hiking, biking,
    alpine sports, yoga and many more. Graceful Edge is updated several
    times a week. Readers who subscribe get the Graceful Edge emailed
    directly to their inbox. To sign up for Graceful Edge, click here.

    "Graceful Edge was created to spread the fun and enthusiasm for living
    an active life. Women are constantly bombarded with messages that
    link physical activity with weight loss and appearance; we will not
    continue this trend. Graceful Edge is the fresh alternative." says
    Elayne Chow, Founder of Graceful Edge.

    In recent years, there's been a tremendous increase in fabulous
    products and services specifically designed for active women; Graceful
    Edge is one of the first of its kind, offering an entertaining way for
    people to get the scoop on all these great offerings and hopefully
    inspire women to get out there and have fun. Examples of our
    engaging features include:

    · Harlot - hip cycling wear for women
    · Babes in the Backcountry - ski clinics for women taught by women
    · Jo-Sha Wipes - eco-friendly wipes for cleaning yoga mats

    In addition to the free newsletters, the Graceful Edge website has
    recently added two new features:
    · "Things to Do", a section featuring local resources for fun
    activities related to the popular plays that our readers enjoy.
    · "Grace's Club", a section featuring women activities and their
    story.
    [Note: Grace's Club is currently under construction. We are in the
    process of collecting photos and stories from our readers. Anyone
    interested in being part of Grace's Club should submit photo and
    details to [email hidden].

    Graceful Edge readers are a feminine fun-loving affluent bunch.

    · Harlot - hip cycling wear for women

    I don't claim to be "hip", but is it really "hip" to insult your target
    market?

    An opinion should be the result of a thought, not a substitute for it.

    Of course it is. I'm waiting to get some Streetwalker line of skorts for my
    gal.

    Just a question: if Graceful Edge is a "fresh alternative" why does it
    appear to perpetuate the chauvanistic image of women as sex objects,
    e.g. "harlot" and "babe?"
