A Real Cougar in the Den

I work with an amazing group of women. We are strong, assertive, funny, confident and blond. We work in a small space so there aren't many secrets and we like it that way that. We are all 40ish and we love great shoes and sushi.

One husband jokingly referred to our work space as the 'Cougar Den". The fact that all of us are married (I have the shortest marriage at 17 years) made the statement even more funny. He has threatened to buy us all catsuits - which we would happily wear - with the right shoes of course.

A couple of weeks ago we realised we needed to add a new member to our team. We found the right candidate and then it got down to the most important question. Was she "Den worthy"? Was she smart enough, self-assured enough, blond enough to really fit in? Turns out she's all of these things and more. Turns out she's 40 and her fiance is 30 - well, well. I'm pretty sure that makes her a Cougar! We happily welcome her to the Den.
