The Posh Mommy opened for business at the Super Bowl.
The online boutique (theposhmommy.com) that raises money for charities opened a pop-up store in Arizona for its inventory of women's and children's clothing supplied by the wives, girlfriends and significant others of professional athletes.
"It's a store for anybody to come in and shop," said Posh Mommy CEO Nicole Jennings, wife of Vikings wide receiver Greg Jennings, currently the subject of release rumors.
A lot of the items are discounted designer wear; Jennings aims to place reasonable price tags even on the lux items. Proceeds from the Super Bowl pop-up store will benefit "Face in the Mirror, a charity out there that gives spa treatments to women who are going through chemo," she said.
Asked to name some contributors, the name of Karen Moyer, wife of retired MLB pitcher Jamie Moyer, slid off Jennings' lips. However, she choked a little when speaking the name of "Danielle Forte, wife of a Chicago Bear … I don't want to say that. She is a fantastic woman." Jennings did not want to upset any Vikings fans by uttering "Chicago Bears." Bitter rivals coming together for charity is a good thing, isn't it, fans?
Jennings' husband, her sweetheart since junior high school, was present the day I shot my startribune.com/video. The Packer who became a Viking provided two highly playful video moments. One occurred when he joined two of their four kids on a riding toy and the other you can see beyond the credit.
Oh, and Greg Jennings insisted on helping me haul my camera equipment to the car when I departed. He did so not in the get-out-of-my-house way but as a kind gesture compatible with everything I know about his spirit.
