Did Gia wear eye glasses?

[tahpenes]

Hello,

I am new to this board! Doesn't look like anyone posts anymore though. I have a question (or two, well actually I have many!) for anyone that knew Gia. First of all, did Gia wear eye glasses? Also, we all know Gia was a Bowie kid, but what kind of music did she enjoy later? Ok, one last one , I read somewhere that Gia attended Modeling school in Philly, does anyone know if this is true and if so, which one? I also read a quote from her that she though Modeling school was a rip off.

I really enjoy reading about her on this board especially Posts from 8girl and John Long and others that knew her.

Thanks a Bunch!

Don't think that she wore glasses (only for photo shoots).
The book say's that Gia liked the Doors,Stones, and later on was at a gogo's concert.
Sure that there are more.

Thanks for the reply Leroy....The reason I ask about the glasses is because on the ' Giacarangiproject.com ' there is a photo on the Bio page that says it is Gia at great adventure. To me that doesn't look at all like gia, maybe her mom. But I don't know. Also the person in the photo is wearing glasses. I just found it interesting and wondered if anyone could help with that one!

Thanks again.

Hi Tiffany, Welcome to the board !
I also enjoy reading the posts from John Long, Rob Fay and Linda because they actually knew Gia.
Also 'Her Best Pal' is Kathleen Gia's Mom she would post once in awhile but not very often.
I'm sure it must be extremley difficult for anyone who knew Gia to post on this board.
But I truly believe all of us on this board appreciate their thoughts and memories of Gia.
Everyone on this board is kind and thoughtful and we're all here for one reason a beautiful young woman who lost her battle with Aids.
When I first joined the board in 2004 many people posted but the past year a few people have left.
There were a few disagreements and I'm not sure if this contributed to people leaving this board and joining other Gia sites.
I won't ever leave because there a few diehard's still here like Katrina and Bruce.
None of my friends understand my spiritual kinship I have with Gia.
So when I come to this board I can express my thoughts and feeling about Gia with other people with the same interests as myself.

The music Gia liked was Bowie and The Doors.
I have a feeling she preferred rock and roll.
Also she went to a John Cougar Mellencamp concert.
In Fried's book one of her friend's said she liked John because she thought she sort of looked like him.
She played pool with Jimmi Destri the drummer from Blondie.
One of my fave stories about Gia was when she met Jack Nicholson in an elevtor and he hit on her but she dissed him.
The story came from Kathleen her Mom.
I loved Gia's rough and tough image but also her vulnerability.
