Blogging Boomers Carnival #13
March 12, 2007
It’s my turn to host the Blogging Boomers Carnival again this week. And what have I got for you?
Well…
Discover how baby boomers worrying over 'leaky pipes' is becoming a marketing opportunity for drug companies at:
http://coachingtip.blogs.com/so_baby_boomer/2007/03/worry_over_leak.html.
Though vaudeville was killed by talkies in the 1930's, an entertainment columnist by the name of Ed Sullivan knew that there was still a market for it in the fledgling television market. Read what he did about it at: http://www.irememberjfk.com/mt/2007/03/ed_sullivan_king_of_sunday_nig.html.
"Ask Wendy" brings the issue of age discrimination front and centre at Gen Plus:

Over at Cafe Glam, the fashion and beauty blog that helps women 40+ look and feel fabulous, Deborah and JoJami talk about how to look boomer chic without falling into the “it bag” trap: http://www.cafeglam.com/2007/03/have_you_been_s.html.
and you can find out about the Gentlemen’s Fund over at man-o-pause:

Next, a couple of questions for you:
Do you hate your job? Well, you're not alone. Find out why at:
http://www.thegeminiweb.com/babyboomer/?p=702.
Do you procrastinate? So does Micki at The Rearview Mirror. Find out what she has to say on the subject at: http://mickiberthelot.com/archives/107.
The guys over at LifeTwo met with Sara Davidson, author of “the Leap”, who ripped into middle age, ageist Hollywood and even her own publisher’s marketing department (made up of people half her age and half the age of the intended Baby Boomer audience). You can read more about that at:
http://lifetwo.com/production/node/20070309-sara-davidson-leap-the-narrows.
Then, head over to Your Drum to learn about Toxic Wife Syndrome and the young beautiful barracudas that go after rich older men: http://www.yourdrum.com/yourdrum/2007/03/toxic_wives_hav.html.
And, finally, just in case all that wasn’t enough for you, we even have a guest post this week… Information Age Education urges us all to take a break from complaining at:
http://information-age-education.com/take-a-vacation-from-complaining/.
Phew… I’d go and have a lie down now, if I were you…
Great job Ann!
