    Lady Gaga “Hair”

    Hey Little Monsters,

    I’m in love with Lady Gaga. She is so empowering and I love hearing her speak in interviews- she’s brilliant. This week it’s been Lady Gaga overload- she was the guest editor for Metro newspaper on May 17th, and she’ll be on Etalk on May 23. She has released another smash hit called “Hair” and I wanted to share with all you. What do you think about her new single?? Will it be a hit??

    Reading for the Soul

    Recently I have been re-evaluating my goals for 2011. One of my main goals was to lose some weight, and I have been working on it, and have lost 10 pounds. 10 pounds may not be anything to you, but really I have been sick since March (every week with something different) and this is such a big feat for me. I’m inspired and will be continuing. Another one of my goals was to read more. When I was younger I used to read books a lot and now I only read the newspaper- if I’m lucky. So with the first book, I’m going to start with Kelly Cutrone- ‘If You Have To Cry, Go Outside’. Kelly is a PR maven and is the founder/owner of People’s Revolution a PR company in LA and NYC. Follow them at @peoplesrev. She was also on the hit show- The Hills. This is her autobiography and I cannot wait to start reading it. I’ll let you all know what I think about it next week. Until then, HAPPY READING!!!

    P.S. I’m doing a challenge and trying to read at least a book a week (I used to read a book in 3 days so a week is perfect). Won’t you join in on the challenge??? Let’s read together..

    What should I read next week?? Any suggestions??

Women from all age groups, racial and ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, socio-economic classes, religions, ability levels and professions experience abuse. *all stats from pcawa.org
    – 1 in 4 women will experience abuse in an intimate relationship in their lifetime
    – 38% of sexually assaulted women were assaulted by their husbands, common-law partners, or boyfriends
    – 21% of women abused in an intimate relationship are abused during pregnancy
    – 40% of women with disabilities have been or are in an abusive relationship
    – Only 26% of woman abuse incidents are reported to the police

    One word… CANNES

    Putting the films aside for a moment, Cannes is one of the most spectacular places in the world, let alone a gem of France. Opening up to day 7, the breathtaking sights leave no words for description. My attempts… Exotic beauty and grace. I’ll let the photos do the talking. Put cursor over images for names. I’m in love!
