Meet a Team Rep


From pitching to outfield or between 2nd or 3rd base, this is where you will find Venus Envy’s team rep Beth Sullivan! Beth enjoys downhill skiing and plays badminton. Although she doesn’t play hockey or lacrosse, she seems pretty much up for trying almost any type of sport!

And what would be Beth’s favourite movie? You guessed it, A League of Their Own and why? In Beth’s own words “Gina Davis is a fox. Plus, there is nothing better than the combination of war time sociological shifts and baseball.” And how can we forget Million Dollar Baby and Any Given Sunday would be the ultimate favourites. Her favourite actors would have to be Meryl Streep and Ewan McGregor.

Some of Beth’s other favourites, all time song and why, depending on her mood it can vary. I think Crazy by Patsy Cline is definitely one that will always be in my life or Norah Jones. Other than that I'm a big fan of Dubstep, Indie electro-pop, pop, folk, soul, soca, and R & B... most of the time.

Barcelona seems to be her favourite place, I think it would be mine based on her description waking up every morning to all of the beautiful facades along all the buildings. Picasso, Gaudi, sun, olives, longboards. It was a great vaca!

In her spare time, Beth enjoys sketching, dancing in ridiculous clothes, graphic design, generally spend too much time at the computer. Probably while sipping on a Bloody Caesar-lol!

Beth relishes in lame jokes as she puts it ‘they are my life. Bring it on, I have a terrible sense of humour.’ Her motto is laugh and be honest and her words to live by LML (love my life) and LMF (love my friends). I totally agree!

Thanks Beth for sharing a bit you with all of us!

Meet a Team Rep


'Better out than in" Shrek always says and I totally agree. This is Andy Street’s special quote. A returning Notso member since 2000, Andy is team rep for Juicy Fruits and doing a fantastic job at that!
Andy enjoys being a member of Notso’s for the people she meets that become good friends over the years! Andy enjoys sporting her yellow team colour while playing short stop or behind home plate as back catcher.

So what does a gal like Andy do when not on the field? She enjoys spending time with her girl and her dog! She is also quite the traveler, over the last few years she's been to places like Australia, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, England and Mexico, perhaps while enjoying sipping on Margarita’s! Yum Yum

When asked about some of her favourites, here is what she had to say. Favourite sport movie and why Fever Pitch...Drew Barrymore, need I say more ;) favourite all time song and why Shiney Disco Ball.....cuz the video clip has an alien that gets squashed by one and it made me laugh! And of course, Favourite actor and why Brad Pitt and Colin Farrell....cuz they're good lookin' and Colin's a bad boy! ;)

Meet a Team Rep


Stephanie Bell is team rep with Lady GayGay's. It’s her first year playing, so she is still trying to figure out what her favourite baseball position is but seems to like playing in the field. Steph is new to the city and so far is enjoying meeting new people. She loves any sporting movie... “I usually say that 'sporting triumph' movies are my favourite kind!”

Her favourite song is Good Times; by Finger Eleven...the lyrics can fit into almost any situation you might find yourself in. Her favourite drink is Sprite...she doesn't really drink alcohol, but has tried fruit beer - Fruli - and apparetently it wasn't too bad!

Stephanie has done alot of travelling. She spent 6 months in east Africa (Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania), teaching English for 6 months in Japan, and recently spent another 6 months traveling throughout Asia (from Mongolia to Borneo!) Wow this is really amazing! You must have quite the stamp collection in your passport!

In her spare time, Steph likes hanging out with friends or off vines-lol, watching documentaries and playing sports - especially martial arts.

Her favourite actress might be Sarah Shahi...but not necessarily because of her acting skills ;)- well I will leave that one alone!

Meet a Team Rep


Where in the world is Cela? When not whisked away from her Sound Engineer job which takes her all over the world, you will find Cela playing 3rd base with her team. Meet Cela Wasserman-Dirt Divas team rep!

This is Cela’s 7th season with the Notso’s and she keeps coming back! “The Notso league is all about fun, yes there is some competitiveness involved but the underlying message is to go out and enjoy yourself.” And on those hot summer days catch Cela sipping on good ole Dr. Pepper or Richards Dark (nothing like a hint of maple in a beer).


Cela has two favourite sport movies which both have to do with
Baseball, A League of Their Own and The Bad News Bears (the original).
Both movies show that girls kick ass at baseball! “ Her favourite Actor/Actress, I suddenly feel like I'm on a dating game show. That's a hard question for me since my BA is in film studies. Ok, I'm going to pick one dude and one chick, John C. Reilly and Toni Collette cause both have the ability to pull of so many different characters.”

Being a Sound Engineer and having to pick her all time favourite song is not an easy task for Cela- in her own words “are you kidding me. Well if I think long and hard on this one I guess I could come up with something.” For now we’ll all have to stand by for her answer...

Another hard question for Cela is deciding what her favourite destination is.
Cela has travelled over 58 countries around the world so picking just one proves a bit challenging! Wow, impressive! I’d love you see your photo album!

So what does Cela do in her down time? Aside from hanging out with someone special, (Oooo) she likes chilling with friends, going to the theatre (movies, plays and concerts) and also enjoys the outdoors as much as she can especially in the beautiful weather. And one of these days she’s going to start drawing again.
Would love to see what you come with Cela!

For those who are just getting to know Cela, she also has a nickname-Chandler. Why you ask? “I use humour to get me out of awkward situations, it’s so bad that my close friends nicknamed me Chandler.

If there’s anything else you want to know about Cela, feel free to chat her up with jokes. She is super friendly and always likes to meet people the rest of the league.

Thanks Cela for sharing a bit of who you are with the rest of us!

Meet a Team Rep


“The best things in life aren't things". I couldn’t agree with you more. This is Mary Beth Bourke’s favourite quote. She is also the very proud Team Rep for JILLS IN THE BOX. This is her third season playing with the Notso’s and loving every minute of it. You can spot playing catcher, or anywhere in the outfield.

What does Mary Beth love about being a member of the Notso team, “I like being a part of NOTSOs because you meet SO MANY PEOPLE. It's a great way to get outside, get active, be a part of a community and make new friends.”

Her favourite all time sports movie would be Jerry Maguire. Although it isn’t about sports, but about a sports agent, his girlfriend, and his football player client, and how he finds meaning in his work and life. She totally loves this movie - the story, how it's shot, the music, the actors and the theme: taking chances for what you believe in. You probably think her favourite actor would be Tom Cruise, nope it’s Robert Downey Jr. ‘He's had his ups and downs but he always delivers. I loved Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man’

Mary Beth is stumped when it comes to choosing her favourite all time song. “Impossible!” she says, “There's a world of music and it never ends and I want to keep experiencing it. To get away from the same old playlists and stuff on my iTunes I tune into the internet radio station littleradio.com.”

She also seems to have some favourites with her drinks ‘Cold beer on a hot day. Cold white wine on a hot day or cool red wine on a cold night with a medium rare rib eye steak and a homemade Caesar salad. Oops that's three favourite drinks and one favourite meal!’ That totally sounds like a delicious combo!

Mary Beth has a passion for travelling. She recently visited New Orleans and fell in love! It's an amazing musical city filled with fascinating people and architecture. She has also travelled to San Francisco, Reno, and Provincetown. In the past 4 years she has attended the Burning Man festival and has a soft spot for Italy. Wow- sounds like her passport is filled with stamps from all over the place!

So what does a girl like Mary Beth do in spare time, she enjoys gardening, hockey, hitting some golf balls, art and of course the movies.

Something interesting about Mary Beth she has taken acting classes. Maybe one day we’ll see her in the movies!
