Six steps on the catwalk, that is.

That's when WHW will present its latest undertaking - an "extreme makeover" for six women in the community who wanted to make a change in their lives.

And, while the names of the lucky women are still under wraps, WHW says that this event will be more than just a haircut and a new dress.

It will be a wholesale lifestyle change for the candidates and, most importantly, the improvements were all home grown here in Winchester.

WHW began when business owner Kimberly Miles joined the Chamber a few years back.

Miles said she was looking for opportunities that focused on the needs and abilities of female business owners, and she found a need for that type of program.

After some brainstorming sessions and more than a few cups of coffee, WHW was born.

The apex consumer court expressed its inability to help her in view of the Ca...
