EveryWoman

Every June I head off to the EveryWoman's Expo at the Convention Centre in Perth.  The last few years I have dragged Mel along. This year she happily accompanied me; no kicking and screaming!  The expo has something for everyone. Even a few blokes arrive and get in for no fee.  The ladies believe they are brave to mingle in a function room full of oestrogen powered, high heeled women who know what they want!

Mel enjoys the free tastings!  There is yoghurt, chocolate, cheese, herbal tea, condiments and the wine tasting.  Mel doesn't drink wine but I take the opportunity to sample a few.  We both enjoy a free massage and chat to a variety of stall holders.  We pick up information from the DiabetesWA booth. Mel has diabetes 2. A chat with the educators is always positive. The Kinesiology booth was offering free sessions but they are booked until late afternoon. They offer us both a free session by a student at their clinic.  Does it really work?  I just don't know, my internet research is inconclusive. We enter all the competitions knowing that next week we will have numerous calls; not to say we are winners but to sell whatever their product or service is.  We will be pleasant but chances are we will decline their offer.  After two hours on our feet we head for the dining area and treat ourselves to butter chicken curry and coffee.  The music belts out to the strutting of the models on the catwalk just ahead.  Fashion, food and everything girlie entices us.  We go home with free carry bags full of brochures, freebies, pens, hand cream, nail files and even a toothbrush and paste.  Mel has a block of cheese poking out of her bag!
