A few words from Julie
« Reply #30 on: November 26, 2002, 03:04:58 AM »
\"When I became a successful jockey ... there were no female role models to show me how to act. In the beginning I had to be scrappy and aggressive to be taken seriously by trainers, owners and other jockeys. I acted like a typical tough guy, not a girl. When success came, I had to learn that I was finally being afforded the luxury of being a woman.\"

Julie Krone (with Nancy Ann Richardson ghosting), Riding For My Life - 1995

Linda Fiorentino. Yow! She made Sharon Stone look like Betty Rubble. Civil discourse, indeed!

      Yes. Thanks. After sleeping with a guy she had known for about 10 seconds, she was concerned that he might be the type who kisses and tells. Hence the subtle warning she gave him the morning after: \"Don\'t (----) with my image.\"
