I have got to watch Tim's Home Repairs but not Norma the toolbelt diva. I was just wondering which one you would like to see fixing up your home.

"Say Good-bye to Honey-do lists, ‘cause Honey, I’ll show you - you can do it yourself!” - Norma Vally

I like her approach.

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.

As a young girl, born and raised in Brooklyn, Norma worked alongside her father fixing things in their home. Maintenance on the boiler, repairing a leaky faucet, oil changes in the driveway – she was always happier fixing things and finding out how they worked -- and she had a knack for it from an early age.

So how did Norma, a woman with degrees in English Literature and Psychology find her way back to her true calling? It was a move to a century-old house as an adult that helped Norma learn how to handle home repairs, from wiring and plumbing to demolition and carpentry. Pursuing her fixing passion, she decided to take her skills to a professional level. She began working with a general contractor renovating houses, apartments, and retail and office spaces in the NY/NJ/CT tri-state area and thrived in this field for several years. You can imagine the reaction of fellow workers and customers when she arrived on a construction site in work boots ready to swing her hammer!

In her fourth season as the feisty host of Discovery Home Channel's Emmy nominated 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. While she’s devoted to empowering women, she offers plenty of helpful insights for men as well.

In addition to her television show, Norma reaches out to DIY radio listeners as the host of, Toolbelt Diva, on Discovery Channel Radio, broadcast by Sirius Satellite Radio. A published author, Norma’s book Chix Can Fix: 100 Home-Improvement Projects and True Tales from the Diva of Do-It-Yourself (Viking Studio) has become a staple in homes across the United States. Her next 2 literary projects are a book series, of the same name, that will be a comprehensive collection of guides for women, and a green do-it-yourselfer book for the home.

Empowering women and men with green how-to savvy is a major initiative for Norma. Through her shows, website, satellite media tours, and a green home improvement book in the works, she’s committed to putting people in the know about eco-friendly products and practices in and around the home.

A media darling, Norma has appeared on national news and talk shows including Today Show, NBC Nightly News, The Weather Channel, The Tony Danza Show, CNN, Fox & Friends, MSNBC, Soap Talk, Good Day New York, Life & Style, Northwest Afternoon and appeared in numerous magazines and newspapers including Woman’s Day, Women’s Health, MORE, People, Redbook, Oxygen, For Me, Domino, New York Times, USA Today and LA Times.

In 2000, this multi-faceted woman combined her diverse talents and formed “Chix Can Fix, LLC,” a home/life improvement entity that offers a variety of empowering resources for women. Norma leads do-it-herself clinics and is a sought after speaker at home shows and expos across the country. Norma also believes in giving back to the community and recently launched a workshop series hosted by The Home Depot titled, GET SAFE! Home Safety for Women. In the spring of 2007, Norma will unveil her Chix Can Fix tool and accessory line for women.
