Now the girls can come out fighting
Article Abstract:
The self-licensing British Ladies' Boxing Association (BLBA) was formed to organise fights to make women's boxing respectable. Chairperson and founder of the BLBA Sue Atkins boxed until she was 32, then became a trainer. The association licenses fighters and trainers and provides ringside doctors. Some women take up boxing for self-defence, some for confidence building and some just enjoy it. In the US women's boxing is tougher and more profitable. Most women do not aim to hurt but to win.

Some girls never can say goodbye
Article Abstract:
Model Claudi Schiffer has announced that she will no longer undertake catwalk work. However, it is difficult to know whether this will actually be the case. She made the same announcement in 1997, but then undertook more catwalk work. In fact, she has only done fashion shows occasionally since 1996. Her career took off very quickly when she was discovered at the age of 17, but she began to fall from popularity after her engagement to millionaire magician David Copperfield.
