I'm obsessed with Gia Carangi's face

Posted at 10:54 PM on July 07, 2009



One day trying to watch a film , a light hearted one , I found this TV film Gia with an Angelina Jolie that looks far away from the image of the 1980s fashion and gay icon Gia Carangi. So I got obsessed with Gia's face, and started reading everything about the life of this shooting star that vanished out of this world in an ephemeral way , dying like an insect with no one but family after being in the most popular magazines and catwalks around the world and probably one of the first female victims of Aids. Her portraits reflect so much her rebellious personality and the cuteness combined with a grungy look.


IShe was like the new punk chick going glamorous with a daring look , but never losing that messy appearance , charged with sexual energy .And I must say Jolie fits this role perfectly , cos this was the way I perceived Jolie before she started all this I can do it all I'm-so perfect-multiple-mother-save-the-world-image attitude .


As for Gia, I love the way she looked , innocent sometimes or just simply wild. it wa either both , but never together I think.
