New Sizing Specs and Sizes, Small - 3X
We've received a wealth of wonderful e-mails, all positive and commenting on our new sizing specs which we revamped fall of 2006. Now all our tops come in small - 3X. We'd cut and paste all the e-mails, but there's really so many it would take days for you to read through them. Instead, we've pasted two we thought best represent the incredible reception and response we've received from our customers.
From Chris in Ohio: Hello Iron Cowgirls! A friend of mine just raves about your site and cloths. I decided to see what all the commotion was about so I visited the site still skeptical but went ahead and ordered the blue T-shirt with the story on the back. Wow is all I can say! The top fits perfect and the sleeves don't make my arms look like two sausages being squeezed out of a plastic tube. I'm a big girl and I'm tall too. My new blue shirt covers me well so I don't have to worry about showing my middle section as I ride. Whew...I can't wait to receive my next top I just ordered. Thanks for thinking of us big gals! We like to feel pretty too.
From Lisa in Oregon: Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving us Iron Cowgirls. Not all of us are small things. Some of us have lots to share. I can't tell you how hard it's been to find riding cloths. I can't tell you many times I've left a store or a rally empty handed and feeling bad about myself. Now I can feel just as sexy as all the rest of the girls in my new Iron Cowgirls tops. You've got a customer for life!
Thanks for the mighty thumbs up!

As promised, here's that picture of Terrie's beautiful, black Harley. Following is a wonderful slice of strength, inspiration and encouragement sent to us by Terrie. Terrie, don't ever stop believing in yourself!
Surviving the Office Bully: by Terrie Harley Divason
Are you being persecuted by a workplace bully? Perhaps it's your boss or maybe even your spouse that you have to work with? I deal with this situation on a daily basis that includes all the avobe scenarios. You can survive and you're not alone. A poll by the Employment Law Alliance, a labor and employment lawyers' group finda that 44 percent of Americans say they suffered abuse at the office.
Many people caught in the clutches of the office tyrant decide to quit, but not everyone has the freedom to job hop. For those who can't escape, for whatever reason and they are all good reasons too, Robert Sutton, professor of management at Stanford university and author of a new book: "The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and
Surviving One That Isn't,"offers these three techniques for surviving the workplace bully: I've added a few myself.
-
Don't blame yourself! The bully will somehow try to shift all the bad results on you and he will in turn be free of all the guilt. If you are a victim of a work place tyrant, it's easy to internalize blame and feel helpless. But falling into this negative "shit rolls down hill onto you,"will take its toll on your mental then physical health, you'll lose energy and your self-esteem will reflect a state of despair that can be seen in a mirror. Instead, Sutton recommends reminding yourself that you are a good person trapped in a bad situation. You could also put in your ear plug and use your MP3 player and play music that reminds you of a happier moment.
- Daydream for just a moment also about the really talented things that you can do that the office bully can't do. As Sutton writes, "Research on 'learned optimism' shows that when people view difficulties as temporary only and NOT their fault at all .... (learned optimism counteracts pessimism) 'it' protects their mental and physical health.
- Hope for the best, but be realistic. you are not going to change the bully's attitude. You may think that looking on the sunny side is keeping you upbeat, but there are limits. "When you are subjected to mean-spirited people for long stretches of time, unbridled optimism can be dangerous for your spirit and self esteem," Sutton writes. hoping that the office tough guy will change his stripes every time you interact with him is a recipe for constant disappointment, so try to keep your expectations realistic.
- Find stress relief. VENT to a compassionate friend only. It's important to share your feelings with like-minded people in the office or out of the office. Don't dump on someone who doesn't want to hear it because they will just reinforce what the bully is doing to you. Trust me on this one. Be careful with this because emotions are contagious and bitterness often breeds more anger so don't start a riot. I ride my Harley Davidson Softail for stress relief. I call it wind therapy because all I can think about is the great feeling I get from riding my bike and it takes all my thoughts to ride my bike so then all the bad thoughts are whisked away with the wind.
We just thought this was so cool. A cousin of Dee D., one of our best customers, made this for Dee's birthday. Both Dee and her daughter love Iron Cowgirls. We wish Dee many more Iron Cowgirl birthdays!

This comes from Megan in Illinois. Thanks, Megan, for sharing your very touching and inspiring story! We are proud of you!
I just wanted to write you a quick email to say thank you for starting such a supportive company for women riders. I started out on the back of a friend's Dyna Wide Glide, and now I have a Harley of my own. This year will be my third season, and I cannot express what learning how to ride has done for my confidence.
(Real Quick) I am a survivor of domestic abuse. One of the reasons I decided to learn how to ride was due to the fact that my (at the time husband and now) ex-husband told me that I was too absent-minded to ever be safe piloting my own bike. I thought I'd show him. Not only did I learn how to ride, but I bought a brand new Harley! Riding has changed my whole outlook about life. Riding also gave me courage to get help to change my life. I'd like to become an IC member! Please send me an application.
Sincerely,
Megan (a displaced Montana cowgirl currently residing in the mid-west for now)

Erin from Pennsylvania wrote the following. Erin, you go Iron Cowgirl!
Hello there. My name is Erin. I am apparently an Iron Cowgirl and never knew it. I ride a 750 Honda Ace and as soon as I read your motto and explanation of what an Iron Cowgirl is, I knew it was me.
I found your website through a friend who was at Myrtle Beach last week and stopped at your stand. We would like to start a Chapter here in PA. My friend e-mailed you this week and asked for details. My friend is from eastern PA and I'm from western. We figured we can start a PA chapter with two regions of east and west. We currently have three women who are interested and plan to get more. Please let us know what we need to do and if there are by-laws for us.
Hope to hear from you soon!!! We are very excited!
Erin

From Glo in South Carolina. Glo, that's why you are an Iron Cowgirl...you never took no for an answer; but just knew who you were, what you wanted and you went for it. You keep discovering who you are, Glo. That's what makes life so grand!!!!!
I had the honor of meeting you and finding out about your organization at the Spring Rally. Love my shirt!!! I feel sure you or the other ladies won't remember me but I got off the back seat and on the front at age 52. Started with a Sportster and currently have a 2004 Heritage. I love the ride and especially the freedom of not waiting on a ride - I go when "I" want to which is frequently. Had so many folks tell me I couldn't do it - look at me now! I was extremely impressed with regard to the Lady who rides the Texas Chopper - another dream for me one day.
Seriously, I would like to join your club and do whatever I can to assist in any way with growth and support for your worthy cause. Recent events here in our legislature with regard to domestic violence were most disturbing. I was in law for over 30 years and was shocked when our legislature passed a law protecting "fighting gamecocks" while they tabled a bill regarding increased penalties involving domestic violence. I lived through that abuse and it took me years to realize I did not have to live in that abuse and mind control!
After your response to this email I am ordering more clothes from your on-line store (especially some for my 40 year old daughter who also was impressed by your logo, organization, etc.).
I look forward to your response, and am grateful that I stumbled upon you at Myrtle Beach.
Ride safe and free...
Glo

From Eve in Virginia. Eve, it takes guts to make the decision you made. You are indeed an Iron Cowgirl!!!
I think it is great what you are doing for both the women and children who are affected by Domestic Violence. I experienced domestic violence from my ex-husband and it is not a pleasant environment to live in. I felt like a trapped animal in a cage until one day I finally told myself I had had enough. I feared the thought of trying to get away from him but also knew in my heart that if I didn't try to get out that one day my daughter might be next. I finally had the nerve to do something about it. I thought he may kill me if I do this, but the life I was living I felt like I was already dead. I wanted so much more for my daughter than to grow up in that kind of life that I felt the risk was worth it if I could get us both away from him. Today both my daugher & I live wonderful, happy lives. She has a great husband and my second husband is as different from the first as day is from night. We don't live with that fear anymore. So I guess you could call me an Iron Cowgirl. I like that title......

First of all, I prefer that my email, name, etc. be kept private. I came across your site by chance-and what a wonderful site it is! I grew up in a home where my mom got beat pretty regularly-so much that as a child, I loaded a gun, kicked in a door and shot! Naturally being very upset, I missed-but it cost the bastard a sliding glass door! The kicker is that after this "episode" I was the one that got punished-not by a beating, but I was kicked out and sent to live with a relative because I was "unruley"! (where I almost ended up being molested)It's amazing what a good swift kick in the groin will do along with a healthy set of lungs and a shrill scream. Thankfully my mom finally left the jerk when I was older. A few years later, I found out he was beating another lady. Well, even though I didn't know her, it really pissed me off. I went and had a little "chit-chat" with the goon....(did someone say barbed wire?)....I already knew a gun wouldn't stop him...he needed something to remind him....i't's been 15 years now, and he has not laid a hand on another lady since our little talk. So, as soon as I read what an Iron Cowgirl was all about, well, you know what i'm fixn to say....i've always been one! Being a biker is so much more than just booze, drugs, pit bulls,...yada yada yada...you know-the biker that Hollywood created! To me, it's all about knowing who you are inside-being able to TRULY look yourself in the eye and really SEE your true self-saying what you mean/meaning what you say and doing what you say you will do! Ride Free, Ride Long, Ride Hard, but most of all just Ride! And yes, Maribeth, Ride Like You Mean It!! Rock On--"Because if you're coming with me you need nerves of steel--cause I take corners on two wheels--it's a never-ending circus ride--faint of heart need not apply"! Mi Vida Loca by Pam Tillis. Just some of my favorite lyrics there. Enjoy & God Bless!!

I want to take the opportunity to introduce my good friend, Deb Sheridan, alias Balls To The Wall/Iron Butt/Iron Maiden. Deb bought her current Fat Boy on November 20, 2004. To date she has put on a whopping 22,500 miles taking her one woman ride to places like Arkansas, Philadelphia and Candada as described below. Deb is now talking about riding from her home in Franklin, TN to attend a corporate meeting in California in a few months. I don't know what Deb's nickname is among her colleagues and customers (she is a medical equipment sales rep for Siemens), but, I'll bet they don't mess with her. Deb is an Iron Cowgirl who makes even some of us other Iron Cowgirls, myself included, look like weenies. Balls To The Walls, Deb...you've got my vote!!!!! When Iron Cowgirls is at a point I can be absent for about a week, I want to do one of your Iron Butt rides with you on my Texas Chopper. As far as changes of cloths, hell, we'll share stuff like shampoo and I'll put a few spare undies and tops in a backpack. I want to be known as Balls To The Wall, Jr.
My CanAm week - July 18 - 31, 2005 - 3,016 miles
The last week of July just seemed like the time to head north to Canada. Work was creating unrelenting intense stress. The weather had been sweltering here in Franklin, TN for months. My son Luke, who lives in Argyle, ON, was going to celebrate his 27th birthday. It had been 12 years since the last time we'd celebrated his birthday together. AND the last weekend of July the 17th Ontario Provincial HOG Rally was being hosted by beautiful North Bay. It was a no-brainer to decide to go.
My business and house partner, Tom, asked if he could ride with me as far as Detroit as he wanted to take the opportunity to visit his two sons in Ann Arbor. My response was "Well, alright. But don't slow me down or I'll leave you behind!" He promised he wouldn't slow me down.
We were delayed in our departure on Friday, July 22 due to a severe rainstorm. Do we wait and leave later or delay a day? (Did I mention my son laid down the challenge to drive straight through - 865 miles from my driveway to his?) By 8:30 am the sun was shining, the bikes were loaded and we said "Let's Go!"
We skirted a large front all the way through Kentucky but didn't get any rain. Bonus! No real issues on the interstates other than the usual slow downs for construction and minor accidents. Then - the two mile bottleneck trying to get to the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit. All the roadways were clogged with transport trucks. We snaked our way along the gutter with the help of several truckers who moved over to let us through and I was off to Canada. No sooner did I hit the 401 outside Windsor and the temperature dropped. Does the cool air know to stay in Canada? First stop in Canada was to visit Tim Horton's to call Luke with my ETA and bundle up. Second stop was to fill up with expensive gas and down a famous Tim Horton's butter tart (with raisins!) washed down by a steamy cup of coffee. Yum and jolt, all in one. By 11:00 pm the nearly full moon lit up the clear sky and the deserted road. Just west of Toronto there is a great electronic toll road - the 403. Well lit, not well traveled and sustained speeds of 80 miles an hour. I was flying! Exit onto 404 North to Newmarket. Stop at the Esso on Davis Drive for more expensive gas (highest octane - 91), wave at the surprized clerk, and then head north on Highway 48 to Beaverton. Hang a left on Highway 12, then hang a quick right onto the road to Arygle. At 2:30 am I pulled into Luke's garage. Whew - I'd made it!
My next few days were spent visiting family in Toronto and Newmarket. Gloriously cool weather, a couple days of rain and then it was Thursday and time to head north to the HOG Rally. On the way, a quick stop at Barrie Harley Davidson in Barrie, ON introduced me to Catherine Smith, Retail Queen, to show off some Iron Cowgirls merchandise. Maribeth Shanley had kindly sent me with a selection of Iron Cowgirl and Girls Like Skulls Too products. Catherine loved the Iron Cowgirls philosophy and products and is eager to receive a catalogue. She demonstrated the products to the owner and is interested in setting up a display in their new store, opening October 2005. She also sold me a pair of heavy duty winter gloves she guaranteed would keep the wind and rain out and my hands warm.
Once I arrived in North Bay and registered for the HOG Rally, some members of the Durham Chapter, Ron Davidson and Marcel Tremblay, invited me to join their group when they found out I was traveling alone. The chapter adopted me as one of their own, along with another couple who were traveling without their chapter. Friday morning we congregated at the registration area and headed off on a self guided tour north. The scenery was stunning, the roads a bit rough due to the harsh winters and the temperatures down right chilly. Was I glad I brought lots of layers of clothes, full leathers and had bought those winter gloves from Catherine!
We returned to the Rally event area and checked out the vendors. The group dispersed until it was time to line up to prepare for the parade through town. Three times trying the bikes were lined up uniformly. What a perfect shot! (please go to www.theothereye.com to view that and the rest of my trip photos) The staging was the perfect opportunity for me to pull out the Iron Cowgirl samples and set them up across my bike. Both the ladies and the men admired the styles, the quality and, of course, the philosophy. One lady, Wendy Rasso, bought the Girls Like Skulls Too hoody and a black tank top. My chapter brother Marcel bought a long sleeve teeshirt for his wife.
Our parade took us through the shoreline to the Fairgrounds of North Bay and then downtown where the streets had been blocked off for us to park and have a street party. The folks of North Bay were so warm and welcoming of the bikers. The streets were lined with people of all ages, waving and cheering. We felt like celebrities!
The city was wise and provided transportation so we could park our bikes at our local accommodations and then party like it's 1999! And did we party! We had a live band, Fundamentals, playing at Moose's Loose Change on Main Street and beer flowing so freely that some of the chapter members were drinking straight from the pitcher! We laughed and danced and joked all evening. A couple of my new chapter brothers asked where the Iron Cowgirl store is so they can make it a destination ride and then say "Debra sent us!" The local HOG chapter leader and the mayor made a point of talking to everyone, to ask where we were from and to ensure we were having a good time. I didn't get back to my room until 2:00 am! So much for the early start on Saturday.
Saturday morning was sunny and clear and a perfect day for a ride. My new friend Wendy Raffo helped me pack my bike and saw me off. My goal was to make it to Oshkosh, WI (640 miles) by nightfall. What I didn't count on was the quick breakfast in Sturgeon Falls that took an hour, the accident that shut down both directions of the Trans Canada Highway at Sudbury, the huge line up at the Tim Horton's in Blind River (just had to have one more butter tart - with raisins!), the photo op's and the fact that the Trans Canada Highway is a two lane road! Bonus was when I asked a fellow biker how to get to The Big Nickel in Sudbury and he said, in typical Canadian fashion, "Well, it's out of my way but - follow me!" It turned out his bike, a gorgeous red Honda ST1300, was just one hour old. He'd picked it up from the dealer and was putting it through its paces. I had to scramble to keep up!
When the rain started east of Sault Ste Marie I took it in stride. But the one hour sitting on the Sault Ste Marie International Bridge to reenter the USA had me soaked, cold and ready for a hot bath and some dinner.
Sunday morning the alarm woke me up at 6:00 am and it was competing with the thunder. Rats - another wet day. I slept for another couple hours and tried again. The rain had eased off so it was time to get on the road. The best route was straight down I75S to Highway 129 to Lansing, MI. There, hook up with I69S to Indianapolis to I65. From there it was a straight shot home. The rain stopped by the time I'd crossed the Mackinac Bridge and the wind died down by the time I got to Lansing. The rest of the trip was a piece of cake. Breaks every 145 miles meant covering 843 miles in 14 hours. My '05 Screamin' Eagle Fat Boy performed like a champ. What a ride!
The 3,016 mile, 10 day trip was both challenging and rewarding. The challenge was to set the aggressive goals and to attain them. The challenge was also to realize when the goal set was unrealistic and to reassess and modify. The reward was accomplishing the goals set, meeting new friends and spending time with family and with myself.
I can't wait for my next trip!

This note comes from Kathleen.
We're happy you found where your life was hiding. I think that's the story of all women who have dragged around so much excess baggage from events in their lives. When we are finally able to let go of all that obnoxious baggage, we feel like the weight of the world has been lifted from our backs, hearts and souls. Good luck, Kathleen!...Maribeth
I'm not usually one for "women's" causes. Too many whiners out there. But I have actually read most of your site and am contemplating joining because I liked what I read written by the founder. I am a 56 year old woman who found where my real life had been hiding. Thanks for the site.

This note came from Karen. As I mentioned to Karen in a personal note, it's not that easy for small start up companies to include the larger sizes, just as it's not easy for larger women to find nice clothing in larger sizes. When a company starts out, they are forced to use ready made tops for decorating. The majority of ready made tops aren't offered in larger sizes. It's unfortunate the industry doesn't yet recognize that larger women want fashion too, but I can tell you this...Iron Cowgirls is determined to change that stupid thinking!
We are now able to have several tops sewn from scratch, using our sizing specs. That means two things to our manufacturer: (1) our sizes run true to size (what you typically wear, you'll wear in Iron Cowgirls); and, (2) our sizes run small through 3X. As orders come in, we grow. As we grow, we are able to have our tops sewn from scratch. We are targeting mid-2006 to have all our products produced to specs and to include sizes small through 3X.
Love some of your blouses but need plus sizes, are you planning on adding them anytime soon? We plus size Iron Cowgirls need cool clothes too. thanks Karen

From Holly...you go girl!!!!!!
Love your website. I've just had my bike a few months and it is so much different to drive your own than to ride behind someone. It's a great feeling!
___________________________________________________________
I can't believe it's been one-year (almost) I feel like I've been riding forever. I love my bike and love the biker life-style, can't believe I didn't know one existed.. Now my husband and I are so busy!!
I even spent the weekend changing the Air Filter on her, she told me late Friday night (by coughing and chugging) that she needed some help and I've been pretty good at grooming her and was happy to learn I can tell when she's got something different about her. I realized the Air cover was loose and when I took it off --there was a hole in my Air filter. After calling 2 friends, looking in manual --I went to local HD shop with old Air Filter in hand and they helped me understand what happened. I bought a new Air Filter and they told me not to ride it (don't even start it) due to metal that may have dropped back into the engine. So, I went home and used some tools and took the Air Filter off. She was so good to me, the lump of metal that broke off was sitting just outside the carb. I took it out, changed the filter and $51 later ... She was running free!! It could have been an easy $100 tow, $51 part, and $75/hour labor charge. It makes a difference to not only enjoy riding but we need to take responsibility for our machines too --They are counting on us! (With all the new gadgets available, I find I can use tools vs. waiting for Honey to come and use brut strength.)
Take care and have a great holiday season. (You coming to Daytona this year? Maybe I'll get there and meet you gals in person ...)
One of these days, I'll get some information on our the local Domestic Violence group. I'm sure we can get some bikers together to help them, it's on my list of "to dos"

The following was sent to us by Kim. Kim is a member of our armed forces. We were really touched by Kim's e-mail. It made us feel so darned good that our site and what we stand for inspired her to volunteer to work with her local Domestic Violence Shelter.
Thanks too, Kim for being part of our armed forces. We're darned proud of you!
Hi, I will say I went to the NCADV website last Friday morning I got to work early. It really touched my heart, in fact it made me cry. I looked at the local site for Indiana and I have decided to sign up with the local group to volunteer when I can. I did not realize they are located so close to where I work.
Thank you for opening my eyes and mind to something new. I use to joke that it took me 12 months of Prozac and my "therapist " to survive the last bad relationship I was in. But it really was no joke at all.
I think now that I'm 2 years beyond that its time to help some one else.
Thanks again, hopefully I will not be leaving for anywhere sandy soon but if I do its ok, just part of the job.

The following comes from Becky.
I was given your website and I absolute LOVE IT!!!! I love what it's all about.
I ride a 2006 Harley Davidson Heritage Classic. I rode for years behind my husband of 27 years and I finally got tired of seeing the back of his bald head, so I learned to ride and I am GLAD I did because I no longer wait on him to take me riding, I go when I want to.
And I want to look good too, that is why I am asking about your clothing line.
I would LOVE to be able to wear your clothes! I am big girl, and I am limited to what I can wear. I hate to go into the Harley shops and see sizes I only dream about. Please let me know up to what sizes you offer.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance,
~Becky

This comes from Lesa. You go Iron Cowgirl! We all deserve to be encouraged to be just exactly who we are!
Enjoyed reading all about the Iron Cowgirls. I am a single mom from Texas with twins in college. After being married for 20 yrs not really knowing the verbal abuse & other that I was taking, I divorced 2 yrs ago. I will not ever be caught in that situation again. I just bought my first bike and am enjoying the time riding with a wonderful man who encourages me to be myself. I will proudly be wearing my t-shirt I purchased.

These are just the type of stories we love to hear about! All Iron Cowgirls should follow their dreams.
Believe in yourself and all the possibilities!
I love this website my boyfriend does not want me to get my Dyna low rider or he said he will leave, Well leave I am a wild spontanious sagitarius and always go after my dreams. Thanks for coming up with a great sight for women. Where was he when I put myself through med school. Same place he'll be when I get my HD not with me!!!!!!!! SO MANY FISH IN THE SEA, LOL!!!

Thanks Lisa, aka CA_HDGal for your thoughts. Kelli's Mom is a real fighter and a true Iron Cowgirl! If we can get everyone thinking and praying I believe she'll make it. She's made it this far and wasn't supposed to. Like Kelli, she's a wonderful person...what you see is what you get. By the way...I feel like one of the luckiest people alive. Kelli is now working for Iron Cowgirls and doing a bang up job. She's extremely talented and such a go getter.
GREAT stuff here... wish I could get your products into my buddy's custom bike shop, but then I wouldn't be the original that I am! Can't wait for the evil twin shirt to come back, and the schizo shirt needs to come in a tank... I've been riding for 5 years, it's my life! I wear a signature cowboy hat to cover helmet-head, so your shirts are perfect... I also am praying for your model's mom... I just went through thyroid cancer and am clean, to date... Riding is my mojo, it's the only thing keeping me (somewhat) sane... Keep the products coming, I'll be buying!! Regards, Lisa

We were so flattered by the next comment coming from one of our newest members of our Iron Cowgirls Motorcycle Club, ICMCTM that we just had to publish it.
I saw your ad in V-Twin magazine and thought I'd check out your website. It was VERY touching to read the stories. After searching for a women's biker group I finally found on that's about the woman, not just the bike.
