Bob Harper of NCC’s “The Biggest Loser” will take a winning position on center stage of this year’s event. Once again, the St. Louis Working Women’s Survival Show, a local favorite with women for over 25 years, brings fitness, fashion, food and fun activities, as well as over 350 exhibitor products and services, to the city on Friday Feb. 21 through Sunday, Feb. 23. Headlining the lineup of attractions is Bob Harper, the physical trainer on the popular NBC-TV show, The Biggest Loser, who will appear on the Main Stage Saturday, Feb. 22, at 3pm. By popular demand, the Women’s Show will feature several fashion shows on the Main Stage this year, each with a unique twist. The stars of Goodwill’s own online reality show Thrift Shop Divas will take the stage Friday at 3pm and Saturday at 4pm and representatives from Christopher & Banks and CJ Banks will present three fashion shows on each Show day, each time with a different theme. In addition to the Main Stage, there are several specialty stages and areas at the Show offering more excitement and learning experiences. These include the Cooking Class Stage, Firm, Fit and Feminine, Pampered in Paradise and the Wine Garden. The Cooking Class Stage is the place to be drawn by tempting aromas, as chefs create their special dishes. It’s where
you’ll find the Inspired Chef Cookoff and Chef Dian Slater from the Missouri Pork Association, who will present “Perfect Pulled Pork---Beyond the Bun”. Every year there is a new popular exercise routine that arouses everyone’s interest. This year exercise studio Pink Lemon will be on the Firm, Fit and Feminine Stage to show you how to use The Pole. Pink Lemon will demonstrate Polerina, using the pole along with ballet exercises to help tone and lengthen the body. Pampered in Paradise is the place to find the Nail Bar, where manicurists from Xenon Academy will do manicures for attendees and Origins Cosmetics at Macy’s will do mini-facials and free product samples. Take a trip through the vineyards! Sip and sample wines in the Wine Garden from many Missouri wineries. Learn how to pair wines and foods and purchase your favorite wines by the bottle. Wine accessories also are available for purchase. Back for a second year is the Ultimate Girl’s 5K run or 1K walk to benefit “WomensHeart,” a national coalition for women with heart disease. The Mardi Gras themed event will kick off Saturday at 8:45am at the St. Charles Convention Center and run a route through St.
