Re: Gia towards Cindy Crawford « Result #3 on Sept 27, 2008, 8:41pm »
I think by that time Gia could have cared less about anything to do with modeling as she was battling AIDS. Cindy didn't really come onto the scene until 1988.
Gia towards Cindy Crawford « Result #4 on Sept 10, 2008, 2:22am »
Does anyone know how Gia felt about Cindy Crawford? She was still alive when Cindy came onto the scene and they were calling her baby Gia does any one know how she felt about that? I know in interviews I have heard Cindy say how Gia really helped her career get started cause they looked alike.
I also love Desperate Housewives and Terri Hatcher bugs me for some reason. I like all of the other actors especially Bree's character she is hilarious.. And I hope they don't get rid of Edie she is so slutty but she spices thing up on Wisteria lane !
Eva longoria is 'me' there...she always says and does just what I would do in her shoes...I love bree too and edie is nicely catty...I loved last nights show...and it looks good for next week too!

Help Gia Received While Addicted « Result #8 on Apr 19, 2008, 8:18am »
There were many people who tried to help Gia when she was trapped within her addiction. Her family, friends, people within the modeling industry.
I used the word “trapped” intentionally, that’s what happens with addiction. No one wakes up one morning and decides to become an addict, it happens over a period of time. Even those closest to them may not notice at first the signs of addiction setting in. The person themselves may not see it, they think they can handle it. That’s the whole point of programs like D.A.R.E:
To educate others to recognize the early signs of drug use, a great deal of information available today was not so easily available back when Gia was in the early stages of her addiction. So the point of this post is to not lay blame, or criticize anyone, but to open a discussion about the types of help and support a person can give to someone addicted.
Please respect others opinions, and feelings and remember this is an open discussion, not a debate. The only winners here will be the addict looking for help, a parent looking for support, or ways to cope. Gia wanted to do something to help others trapped the way she was. If she were here today I think she would use her own story to try and help others.
So to start off : Photographer Francesco Scavullo when Gia’s heroin addiction made it impossible for her to find work, Scavullo continued to employ her, I don’t think he had any first hand knowledge on how to deal with Gia’s addiction, but was trying to help her in his own way.
By using Gia in his shoots Scavullo was putting himself in harms way for a photographer to employ a model who more, or less was at that point blacklisted he must have been trying to help, by supplying morale and financial support to help her stay clean.

kids can really be amazing...give them the basics...support and encouragement and then stand back! I am awed a bit by kids sometimes and what they can accomplish
Ya, mine surprised the dickens out of me, so I had to face it she's grown-up now and time to step back....
Her nest fell apart so she built a new one on her own before I even found out, so looking at things I had to realize and accepted it was time to step into the background, until she needs me.
