Stapleton Moms has several posters that share video links on topics such as how to calm a crying baby to short workout videos. “We understand the intent of the legislation,” says Stapleton Moms moderator Amanda Witherow. “We just think the legislation is a little too aggressive.”

Stapleton residents have long been clamoring for a new car wash. The Happy Shiny Car Wash headlines the Havana Town Center in the EaWe neighborhood in Stapleton, but other sections of Stapleton have been left Car Washless (without a carwash). Forrest City President Phil Dargossi has confirmed the independently reported information. “We are proud to say that another car wash is coming to Stapleton. The voices of the residents have been heard, and we are making it happen.”

Real Housewives of Stapleton to Air on Reelz Channel
Starting this fall, the Reelz channel will begin airing a reality television series chronicling the lives of six Stapleton mothers. All are currently married, but the show’s executive producer Kirk Gill says there will be some surprises. “As in real life, not everything in a relationship goes as expected. Sure, it makes for good TV, but none of it was planned or instigated.”

Monarch Montessori’s Convenient Location Pretty Hard to Get To
Monarch Montessori has been around for just under two years, and has been one of several options for parents to take their children during the day. The Monarch Montessori program touts several things in regards to best looking after your Stapleton child. One thing they boast is the convenient location.
Monarch Montessori is correct in at least one perspective. For example, if you were to take a direct route from Stapleton to Monarch, from most places it would be less than 2.5 miles. Unfortunately, there is nothing close to a straight line path to Monarch, and the closest distance using roads is about 16 miles. “When we first heard where it was at we were excited,” says Stapleton parent and former Monarch client Dee Bowman. “Then, when we started having to drive there every day, we realized it was much farther than expected. We eventually had to pull our child out because of the extra cost of gas.”

2011 Stapleton Census Report Results
New Stapleton Dentistry Continues “Hot Dentist” Trend
For dentists planning to open a practice in Stapleton, they know they have to bring their “A” game. Coming in with a fancy degree and an experienced staff simply aren’t enough in this community. You have to have a pretty face. A really pretty face.
Dr. Amy Kimball understands this, and is aware of the competition in the community. Within a one-mile radius, Stapleton residents have their choice of smoking hot dentists Dr. Preet Clair, Dr. Carrie Dougherty, and Dr. Kate Steele. “We did a lot of research before moving into Stapleton,” says Dr. Kimball. “We know we are going to have a tough time starting out, but I am doing my best to keep in shape and keep up with the latest fashions and most expensive perfumes.”
University of Colorado cultural anthropologist Mike Wagner tries to explain why this trend is occurring. “We have studies dating back to the 1980’s, and continue to look at these trends today,” says Wagner. “People apparently prefer to be around attractive people. Historically, this has been prominent in the sales field, especially in the medical device and pharmaceutical sales fields, but other industries have now gravitated to it, including the medical profession.”
Wagner goes on to discuss the stereotypes of attractive people in the medical profession not being as intelligent as their unattractive competitors. “Attractive people, especially women, have historically not gone into medicine simply because they have been given easier options in life,” says Wagner. “But the truth is the intelligent attractive women see the huge opportunity in getting into fields typically dominated by men, or unattractive women. They can come in and immediately make an impact on the market.”
Dr. Amy Kimball said she plans to take out two full page ads in the March Front Porch, including her dressed in her specially designed sexy new dentist outfit. “We hired a clothing company out of New York for all of our outfits,” says Kimball. “We knew we couldn’t just come in with the same old game plan.” Dr. Kimball is right. Coming into Stapleton, you have to bring your best, and you better have on a pretty game face. ]]>
MCA Calendar Rejects Risqué Toddler Photo
The Stapleton MCA periodically holds contests asking for residents to submit photos to be published on the site or in publications they manage. Recently, they held a contest to create a “Cute Toddlers of Stapleton” calendar. One of those selected was a picture of Amber Hoffman, daughter of Rachel Hoffman. The Hoffman’s asked if they could use a different photo than the one they submitted that would “show more of their daughter’s personality.” The MCA agreed to allow them to send another photo, however balked when it came time to making the substitution.
