I was watching TV this morning and, to my surprise and delight, WPBA veteran player Janet Atwell appeared in a TV commercial. The ad was for a pain relief cream called Blue Emu Hemp. The channel was METV, denoting "Memorable Entertainment television", an oldies channel primarily featuring reruns of the shows upon which baby boomers like myself grew up.

It's pretty rare that a pool player is afforded the opportunity to promote a non-pool-related product, so this was nice to see. Here's a link to the commercial.

Cool. And she's a Hospice worker. There's a special wing in heaven for those folks full of Gold Crowns.

Very cool, good for her! I use Blue Emu products myself. Great stuff for aches and pains in my well used, old body. :thumbup2:

I believe Janet‘s Poolroom, Borderline Billiards in Bristol, Tennessee was the host of a WPBA tour event either last year or the year before, whose event title if I’m not mistaken was the WPBA Blue Emu Southern Open.
