As the popularity of women's basketball burgeons, Karra Porter reminds us in Mad Seasons that today's Women's National Basketball Association, or WNBA had its origins in a ragtag league twenty years earlier. Porter tells the story of the Women's Professional Basketball League WBL, which pioneered a new era of women's sports. Formed in 1978, the league included the not-so-storied Dallas Diamonds, Chicago Hustle, and Minnesota Fillies. Porter's book takes us into the heart of the WBL as teams struggled with nervous sponsors, an uncertain fan base, and indifferent sportswriters. Despite bouncing paychecks, having to sleep on floors, and being stranded on road games, the players endured and thrived. Karra Porter brings to life the pioneers of the WBL: "Machine Gun" Molly Bolin, who set lasting scoring records--then faced an historic custody battle because of her basketball career; Connie Kunzmann, a popular player whose murder rocked the league; Liz Silcott, whose remarkable talents masked deeper problems off the court; Ann Meyers, who went from an NBA tryout to the league she had rebuffed; Nancy Lieberman, whose flashy play and marketing savvy were unlike anything the women's game had ever seen. A story of hardship and sacrifice, but also of dedication and love for the game, Mad Seasons brings the WBL back to life and shows in colorful detail how this short-lived but pioneering league ignited the imagination of a new generation of female athletes and fans.Binding Type: Paperback

Amazing lotion for the low price.
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great everyday lotion and an excellent value for the price. The texture is light and creamy, not greasy, and it absorbs quickly. I like the scent, though scent preference is personal. Shipping was fast.
The only downside is the pump—it was difficult to open and required turning it counterclockwise, then clockwise, which was more effort than it should have been. Once it popped up, it works perfectly.

Best non greasy moisturizing lotion ever!!
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This lotion is honestly probably one of the best lotions I’ve ever used. I used it for the first time today immediately after my shower and it’s the perfect consistency not too thick or thin.. not full of water either which is good because my skin absorbs instantly! Most lotions sit on my skin and make me greasy and sweaty afterwards. It also smells like HEAVEN. Chocolaty and a hint of vanilla! I won’t be buying any other lotion this now!

Great moisturizer
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This cream is a great alternative to the more expensive name brand creams. I have ordered this a few times and I feel like it does a wonderful job keeping my skin feeling soft, nourished and moisturized until the next time I shower.
I do not feel as though my skin is greasy or oily after using this product. The cream does not feel thick or heavy on my skin. I am able to put a pair of pants on comfortably after using cream without feeling sticky.
The cocoa butter scent is light and not over powering. There are parts of my body that I have to avoid with the cream because I do have eczema, but this is something I have grown up with and I am used to.
I have purchased the cream twice, and unfortunately, the second time I bought it the pump top came a little bit destroyed (shown in photo). The product is still fully functional and will not determine from buying this again in the future!

Satisfied
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great value. Lotion is non greasy - fast absorbing and will last thru handwashing, leaves skin revitalized and soft. The smell is not as pleasant as I would like and the bottle's size makes pumping difficult. But all in all it was a good buy and worth the cons.
