Coast-to-Coast Search Begins Today for the Next Fabulous 40-Something

Do You Think You Have That Beauty Edge?

Enter to Win a Trip to Hollywood and a Chance to be on Television During USA Network's Major Television Event 'THE STARTER WIFE' Starring Debra Messing

NEW YORK, Feb. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- USA Network and POND'S, the anti-aging skin care line, have teamed up for THE STARTER WIFE, a major television event that celebrates the sexiness, sassiness and confidence of the 40-something woman. Forty-something women know exactly what their assets are and how to accentuate them. When you look good, you feel good and when you feel good, the confidence shows.

The coast-to-coast search is on for five 40-something women who best embody the POND'S brand of grown-up beauty. Each of the five winners will be featured in separate on-air vignettes highlighting their unique stories and beauty philosophies, which will air during THE STARTER WIFE. Additionally, the five winners will receive "star treatment" including a weekend of glitz and glamour consisting of a beauty makeover, Hollywood wardrobe styling and invitations to the Los Angeles premiere of THE STARTER WIFE.

Beginning today, February 7 through Friday, March 16, 2007, women can log onto www.ponds-thestarterwife.com to enter the "40s and Fabulous" contest to share how their sassiness and confidence shines through in their own lives.

USA Network's six-hour television event is a sexy, savvy and wickedly funny tour de force.
