October 27: Now that most are wearing a mask every day, why not put a Halloween twist on boring face attire.

September 5: KENTUCKY DERBY ZOOM PARTY
Top RB horse handicapper’s Stephanie LaCount and Judy Rech picked “Authentic” and “Tiz the Law” one-two. Steph wins the tiebreaker and Derby pool. She’s now a C-note richer. Any of 12 or so lovelies could have won the ladies hat contest. Suanne McGovern edged Janet Spencer in classic Kentucky Derby tradition – Suanne’s wider brim was a tad more Southern Belle.
