Sadie Farrell (fl. 1869)
Sadie Farrell (fl. 1869) was an alleged semi-folklorish American criminal, gang leader and river pirate known under the pseudonym Sadie the Goat.She is believed to have been a vicious street mugger in New York's "Bloody" Fourth Ward. Upon encountering a lone traveler, she would headbutt like a charging goat a man in the stomach and her male accomplice would hit the victim with a slingshot and then rob him. Sadie, according to popular underworld lore, was engaged in a long-time feud with a tough, six-feet-tall female bouncer Gallus Mag, who finally bit off Sadie's ear in a bar fight, as Mag was known to do, albeit usually with male trouble-makers.
Folklore has it that, leaving the area in disgrace, she ventured to the waterfront area in West Side Manhattan. It was while wandering the dockyards in the spring of 1869 that she witnessed members of the Charlton Street Gang unsuccessfully attempting to board a small sloop anchored in mid-river. Watching the men being driven back across the river by a handful of the ship's crew, she offered her services to the men and became the gang's leader. Within days, she engineered the successful hijacking of a larger sloop and, with "the Jolly Roger flying from the masthead", she and her crew reputedly sailed up and down the Hudson and Harlem Rivers raiding small villages, robbing farm houses and riverside mansions, and occasionally kidnapping men, women and children for ransom. She was said to have made several male prisoners "walk the plank".
She and her men continued their activities for several months and stashed their cargo in several hiding spots until they could be gradually disposed of through fences and pawn shops along the Hudson and East Rivers. By the end of the summer, the farmers had begun resisting the raids, attacking landing parties with gunfire. The group abandoned the sloop and Sadie returned to the Fourth Ward, where she was now known as the "Queen of the Waterfront". She then claimed to have made a truce with Gallus Mag, who returned Sadie's ear. Mag had displayed it in a pickled jar in the bar. Sadie kept the ear in a locket and wore it around her neck for the rest of her life.

November, 2015 - Lady Stahope - Mexico Martini
Lady Stanhope
Charming and witty, Lady Stanhope was an admired socialite in English high society. But after a string of messy romances, she left England forever at the age of 33, and went on to become the first Biblical archaeologist. She journeyed to Greece, Turkey, France, and Germany.
En route to Egypt, Stanhope discarded her feminine and European attire for menswear of most common in Tunisia, a look that would prove her signature the rest of her days. She traversed through Israel, Lebanon, and Syria. Later, she'd tell tales of how she so impressed the Bedouin tribes that they named her Queen of the Desert, successor to Zenobia. But her greatest success came in 1815, when she convinced Ottoman authorities to allow her to excavate the ruins of Ashkelon. Stanhope went looking for gold, but instead found a seven-foot headless marble statue. Her reputation as an archaeologist takes a hit here, as she ordered the artifact smashed to bits.

June, 2015 - Pat Benatar - Long Island Iced Tea
Pat Benatar
Patricia Mae Andrzejewski (born January 10, 1953 in Greenpoint but then the family moved to Lindenhurst, Long Island), known professionally as Pat Benatar, is an American singersongwriter
and four-time Grammy Award winner. She has had considerable commercial success, particularly in the United States and Canada. During the 1980s, Benatar had two Multi-Platinum albums, five Platinum albums, three Gold albums, and 15 Top 40 singles, including the Top 10 hits, "Hit Me with Your Best Shot", "Love Is a Battlefield", "We Belong" and "Invincible". Other popular singles include "Heartbreaker", "Treat Me Right", "Fire and Ice", "Promises in the Dark", "Shadows of the Night", and "All Fired Up". Benatar was the first female artist to be played on MTV; the video for "You Better Run“ came on right after “Video Killed the Radio Star”. The Benatar video was specifically chosen by MTV to echo the message to the radio industry contained in "Video Killed the Radio Star", that things were going to change.
Training as a coloratura with plans to attend the Juilliard School, Benatar surprised family, friends and teachers by deciding a classical career was not for her and pursued health education at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. At 19, after one year at Stony Brook, she dropped out to marry her first husband, high school sweetheart Dennis Benatar, an army draftee; Pat worked as a bank teller near Richmond, Virginia.
In 1973, Benatar quit her job as a bank teller to pursue a singing career after being inspired by a Liza Minnelli concert she saw in Richmond. She got a job as a singing waitress at a flapperesque nightclub named The Roaring Twenties and got a gig singing in lounge band Coxon's Army, a regular at Sam Miller's basement club. Her big break came in 1975 at an amateur night at the comedy club Catch a Rising Star in New York. Her rendition of Judy Garland's "Rock-aBye Your Baby With a Dixie Melody" earned her a call back by club owner Rick Newman, who would become her manager. Catch a Rising Star was not the only break Benatar got in 1975. She landed the part of Zephyr in Harry Chapin's futuristic rock musical, The Zinger. The production, which debuted on March 19, 1976, at the Performing Arts Foundation's (PAF) Playhouse in Huntington Station, Long Island, ran for a month and also featured Beverly D'Angelo and Christine Lahti.
In June 2010, Benatar's memoir, Between a Heart and a Rock Place was released. It touches on her battles with her record company Chrysalis, the difficulties her career caused in her personal life, and feminism. In the memoir, she is quoted as saying, "For every day since I was old enough to think, I've considered myself a feminist … It's empowering to watch and to know that, perhaps in some way, I made the hard path [women] have to walk just a little bit easier."The book went on to become a New York Times Bestseller.

April, 2015 - Clara Hughes - Grapefruit Margarita
Clara Hughes
A Canadian cyclist and speed skater who has won multiple Olympic medals in both sports. Hughes won two bronzes in the Summer Olympics in 1996 and four medals (one gold, one silver, two bronze) over the course of three Winter Olympics. She is tied with Cindy Klassen as the Canadian with the most Olympic medals, with six medals total.
Hughes is one of the few athletes who have competed in both the Summer and Winter Olympic games. Hughes is one of only five people to have podium finishes in the Winter and Summer versions of the games, and is the only person to ever have won multiple medals in both. Hughes is also the only Canadian to have won medals in both the Summer and Winter Olympics. Hughes was the first Canadian woman to win a medal in road cycling at the Olympics (winning two in 1996 Atlanta Olympics).
Hughes started speed skating at the age of 16, she then took up the sport of cycling at the age of 17. She would eventually return to the sport of speed skating at the age of 28, after achieving success in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. With her experience and endurance earned through cycling, Hughes went on to a successful career in speed skating, competing in the 3,000 m and 5,000 m. This would eventually lead her to medal in these long distance events at the Winter Olympics. She then returned to cycling, at the age of 38, to later successfully return for the 2012 London Olympics.
Throughout her career Hughes received a number of other awards, trophies, and accolades. She was named Female Athlete of the Year by Speed Skating Canada in 2004 for long track. In 2006, she received the International Olympic Committee's Sport an Community Trophy. She was then named to the 2006 List of Most Influential Women in Sports and Physical Activity by the Canadian Association of Advancement of Women and Sport (CAAWS). In the summer of the year 2010, she was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.
As a result of her success in multiple sports and her humanitarian efforts, Hughes was named to both the Order of Manitoba and as an Officer of the Order of Canada. She is involved with Right To Play, which is an athlete-driven international humanitarian organization that uses sports to encourage the development of youth in disadvantaged areas.

November, 2014 - Diana the Hunter - Mexican Coffee
Diana the Hunter (? - ?)
The year 2013 marked the twentieth anniversary of the first disappearance of young women in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The women are often found dead later with signs of rape and strangulation. In 2010, the number peaked: at least 304 women were murdered that year. In 2013, at least two bus drivers in Ciudad Juarez were murdered by an unknown woman. She hailed the bus, climbed the steps, drew her gun, spat words into the driver's ear and shot him twice in the head -- then fled the scene. The killer, witnesses said, was a middle-aged woman with dyed blonde hair -- or maybe it was a wig -- wearing a cap, plaid shirt and jeans. Nobody saw how she escaped. Or at least nobody would say. One day later, a new website from El Paso called La Polaka, which specializes in covering the political gossip of Juarez, received an email:
"You think that because we are women we are weak, and that may be true but only up to a point, because even though we have nobody to defend us and have to work long hours until late into the night to earn a living for our families we can no longer be silent in the face of these acts that enrage us. We were victims of sexual violence from bus drivers working the maquila night shifts here in Juarez, and although a lot of people know about the things we've suffered, nobody defends us nor does anything to protect us. That's why I am an instrument that will take revenge for many women. For we are seen as weak, but in reality we are not. We are brave. And if we don't get respect, we will earn that respect with our own hands. We the women of Juarez are strong."
The email was signed by someone calling herself, "Diana, the Hunter of Bus Drivers."

January 2014 - Ruth Benedict - Girl Talk
Ruth Benedict
"The trouble with life isn't that there is no answers, it's that there are so many answers." - Ruth Benedict
Ruth Benedict was an anthropologist born in New York on June, 5 1887. She became partially deaf due to an illness in early childhood. She was not diagnosed until she attended Norwich Public School in 1895. Due to her partial deafness, Ruth became a very quiet and shy person. This did not stop her from dominating, as a woman in a field that was predominantly men. She was a humanist scientist, a feminist, and a poet. She wrote several books but the most widely read, Patterns of Culture, was translated into 12 different languages. Ruth's father died before she was three and her mother, a school teacher, struggled to provide for her and her younger sister. Even though Ruth was a shy person, students of hers claimed that they were surprised by how soft-spoken she was. Because Ruth liked to travel she eventually moved to Los Angeles. She met her future husband, Stanley Benedict in Los Angeles. They eventually moved back to New York in 1914 and bought a house in Long Island where Ruth entered Columbia University. That is were Ruth met Margaret Mead, her lifelong friend whom she shared an intimate relationship after separating from her husband in 1930.

PO: The baboon of drinks; no one likes it and it doesn’t need conservation.
BH: Not a week night cocktail.
