The Original Victory Vixens...

Tuesday, 12 April 2011

Contents Contents....

So this weekend I was meant to be finalising the contents for the Victory Vixens website.

I was all set, had a good outline of what I wanted to achieve and was highly positive.

Unfortunately Friday night consisted of me dressing up as Amy Winehouse, getting on a boat and then drinking til the early hours....cue a VERY sore head in the morning.

Me in all my glory...


So after some much needed painkillers and a bacon sandwich I set to work only to realise that infact I can't be the one who decides what is on the site as I haven't been through cancer.

Don't get my wrong have mother dearest go through it gives me a good idea but I want to make sure I am on the right track.

So this is where I ask you guys for help...if you have been through cancer, know someone who is or just have a great idea please get in touch at victoryvixens.co.uk.

Lots of Love

Who Are the Victory Vixens...

So as you may have realised we are on a crusade to give women back their self esteem whilst going through cancer treatment which is awful at the best of times let alone when you have no confidence. We plan to do this by giving women a resource to go to for any type of cancer question or query you could ever think of.....what you should be eating, what clothes will cover drains, where to get free and fabulous wigs, how to apply false eyelashes, what will happen to your sex life...and about a million more things that women of all ages going through cancer want to know.

So that is what we are going to do in a very small nutshell but where did it all begin...??

Well...the original Victory Vixens as previously mentioned are Nina and Judy....


...I love this picture which was actually taken about thirty five years ago.

Nina and Judy are sisters who have both been through various types of cancer and they are also Mother and Aunt to me.

Now Mother Dearest is extremely glam....she is the type of woman that wears high heels to the beach and other women ask where she got her clothes from. She loves looking good and is still hoping her love of high heels and matching outfits will rub off on me...!!

Her most recent diagnosis was breast cancer last year and it was alot more serious than all the other brushes with cancer she has had before. This means that she is now going through chemo before heading off for some radiotherapy fun.

One of the main things that really worried her was the effect on her looks. So whilst she was attending various doctors appointments I decided to see what I could find to help her along....and I found....not much really.

One thing I did find was Look Good Feel Better...which is an amazing company that offers beauty advice and workshops for women going through cancer...they are totally fab!!

But everything else was slightly out of date or was part of another website telling you about symptoms, side effects and all the bad bits and to be honest I felt that women going through cancer already know enough about the bad bits and need something positive to make them feel better.

So...after speaking to various cancer professionals, cancer patients and anyone else who would listen I decided to create a 'one stop shop' for women, girlies, ladies etc going through cancer where they can find EVERYTHING.

I have teamed up with life coaches, psychiatrists, doctors, stylists, hairdressers, make-up artists, nutritionists, gorgeous underwear boutiques, fitness experts and women going through cancer to provide the best support possible.

We will be hopefully working with the lovely Look Good Feel Better as their workshops are simply fab and there will be lots of social events to attend where you can chat to other women going through the same thing but more importantly have a great time.

If you would like to get involved we would love to hear form you so please email victoryvixens@gmail.com.

We Need You....

I am sure you will all agree that cancer is shit...the whole lot of it...totally rubbish.

But one of the things that can make you feel alot worse is how it effects your looks. From the falling out of finger nails to the steroid bloating...cancer is not a good look.

WE WANT TO HELP.

Our website will be full of tips, tricks and everything else you will need to beat cancer whilst looking good and feeling great....from where to get free wigs to what to eat to make you feel like your old self.

But....WE NEED YOU

We need sponsorship and funding in order to make this great project even better so get your thinking caps on and pass this on to anyone you know who could help.

We are dying to get the ball rolling and start helping girlies going through a tough time.

If you can do anything to help (or know someone who can) please email victoryvixens@gmail.com

Lots of Love

Victory Vixens...


Welcome to Victory Vixens…but before I tell you what we are all about let me introduce you to the original Victory Vixens aka Nina and Judy.





Nina and Judy have both been through or are currently going through cancer. However, they are going about it in a totally fabulous way.
Imagine turning up to chemo wearing a n amazing outfit, full make-up and high heels and you will get the picture…both are totally fabulous.

They are big believers that when you look good and are kind to your body you will feel better and be able to cope with what life has to throw at you in a more positive way.

We couldn’t agree more!!

What they have found though is that there is not a resource for women going through cancer treatment that has all the answers to the questions and queries that arise…such as how to stop your nails splitting, where to buy the best (and most affordable wigs), what you should be eating, how to banish dry ‘chemo’ skin, how to apply false eyelashes, where to buy special undies, what to expect your sex life to be like, where to find local supports group and about a million other things women should be able to find out easily.

This is where we come in…Victory Vixens is a ‘one stop shop’ for all cancer needs and wants.

We have partnered up with doctors, psychiatrists, nutritionists, fashion stylists, hairdressers and make-up artists in order to allow women of all ages to look good and feel great whilst winning the war over cancer.

What we need from you…

We are now looking for endorsement to make this great project even better.

This is going to be a nationwide online resource including workshops, seminars, fashion and social events so it is a great cause that encompasses all forms of cancer.

With cancer in women on the rise there has never been a better time to get involved and help us make more women into Victory Vixens.

If you are interested in helping us on our quest please email victoryvixens@gmail.com.

Lots of Love
