I am here for Friends

About Me

I started modeling with attitude at the age of 17. They coined the phrase "supermodel" about me. I had trouble adjusting with my runaway success and I developed a nasty drug problem. Too bad they didn't say much about diseases from needles back in the day. I got AIDS. Of course I could have caught that from the numerous random guys that would get me wasted and take advantage of me so they could tell people they fucked the original supermodel... I hear some of the new models on the scene call themselves "Gia's Girls." How totally dumb. Like I'm a role model.

My Interests

Music, cinematography, making friends, women ;), AIDS awareness, drug addiction recovery and related issues, helping people

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who wants to like me for me. People who aren't judgemental. Anyone who felt alienated from their father and/or neglected by their mother. Anyone who needs advice about any of the problems I've had. I'm kind of an expert.

To my detractors: If you don't like the idea of this profile, then don't look at it. But don't write me insulting letters or it will just have to come down to me deleting all mail not accompanied by an add request.

Music:

Bowie, Blondie, The Pretenders, Billy Idol, Simple Minds

Movies:

Apocalypse Now, Last Tango in Paris, The HBO movie about me

Television:

NOT that 20/20 special I was in. How embarassing...

No, I'm not REALLY Gia

The real Gia Carangi died of AIDS in 1986. I'm just someone who admired her and was touched by her tragic life. I also have dealt with many of the same issues she dealt with in her life. As a fan o...
