Gia Carangi has, and always will be, the main inspiration in my life. She has taught me even more than I care to admit, but knowing that I had that guidence right there with me, I made it through the rain, so tp speak. I have fought with addiction and made it through; fought with pain and anger and depression. But, as always, there was that one single light at the end of each narrow tunnel - a light that was Gia. So it is important to me to get Gia's legacy out in the world; to educate on AIDS and addictions, because neither discriminates against race, religion, sexual orientation or age. It was Gia's hope, as she lay in the hospital, her body ravaged from the effect of AIDS, to reach out and help people, to tell them that drugs were not the answer, that it was not an escape. And Gia knew better than anyone that we cannot run from ourselves.
To get Gia's legacy out to the world, people like Jeffrey Cella work day and night and probably all the time in between. His "The Beauty and the Pain" event will be help in New York City in the Summer of 2007 and will feature various artists works on Gia, among many other surprises. It is something I have watched rise from a casual dream into a reality, and I am very proud of Jeff, and very proud to be a part of his event.
I also own and operate "Always and Forever, Gia", the most active Gia message board on the internet. Many people gather there for support as they batthle addicitons and HIV and AIDS. We hear about Gia in a personal way from her best friend. We share our thoughgts, photgraphs, ideas, and feelings about Gia, as well as the HBO movie "Gia", and Stephen Fried's account in "Thing of Beauty". Of course we discuss other ither things as well - movies, music, modeling...a little bit of everything. But our focus remains on Gia and what her life has given us. We have a Gia Photo Gallery, with many unseen pictures, so many, in fact, that it is still being set up; and a Gia Art Gallery, with all original Gia designs. We even have the script from the HBO movie "Gia" posted. So please click on the link below and join us in our truibute to Gia Carangi.
