Dirty Martinis n' Red Wine

They're not divas.
Judy and Kyra have both been on the planet for more than 21 years (a piece), and they shed their egos long ago. They realize that sometimes things go wrong and plans change. Neither of these dames is prone to panic or tantrums; they live in the present and don't get ruffled easily.
Great with kids!
Judy has kids and grandkids. Kyra is a veteran middle school teacher (but don't ask her to babysit). To that end, they are able to communicate with toddlers and grown men, alike.
Better with dogs...
Kyra believes she may have been a dog in her last life, and communicates well with people of the canine persuasion (and cats).
They look good and smell nice.
In fact, they are repeatedly asked to return to events for these reasons alone.
They don't wreck hotel rooms.
The dames are respectful of other people's property. Period. They don't start fights, they don't pick up strangers, and they don't get drunk. They do enjoy dirty martinis and red wine, but never in the same glass.
No cursing (aloud)...
Because of the kids/grandkids/middle school associations, Judy and Kyra have learned to hold their tongues when other people are in earshot.
