Norma Vally
Norma Vally is a construction pro with the tools and attitude to get the job done. But this former lingerie model, rock singer and personal trainer is hardly what you would envision when you call for a handyman. She embodies strength, beauty, skill and femininity. Considering the nature of construction work, her presence is quite impressive, even inspiring. For Norma, however, she's just doing what she loves.
Now, in her third year as the feisty host of Discovery Home Channel's series Toolbelt Diva, Norma pairs up with female homeowners to tackle a variety of real-life home-improvement projects. Toolbelt Diva proves that any woman can take on just about any home-improvement project with the help of Norma’s knowledge and confidence. Presented in an informative and non-intimidating way, Toolbelt Diva has plenty of information and insight for men as well. Norma is also the host of the popular home improvement radio talk show Toolbelt Diva on Sirius Satellite Radio. Prior to hosting her own show, Norma was the witty and lively construction expert on Discovery Channel’s Rally Round the House.
In 2004, this multi-faceted woman combined her diverse talents to create “Chix Can Fix,” a home improvement company that offers a variety of resources for women. The book of the same name, launching in March of 2006, is an instructive and hilarious how-to manual with over 100 home improvement projects and anecdotes for women “and men” who are ready to fix what needs fixing -- and laugh until their sides hurt. Norma also leads do-it-herself workshops and clinics and is a sought after speaker at home shows and expos across the country. Chix Can Fix is developing a woman’s toolbelt as well as other products specifically geared for women.
A media darling, Norma has appeared on national talk shows including The Tony Danza Show, CNN, Good Day New York, Life & Style, Northwest Afternoon and appeared in numerous magazines and newspapers including MSNBC, CBS Marketwatch, Woman’s Day, MORE and People.
