I’m sure everyone knows that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. If not you’ve been hiding under a pink rock somewhere. Breast cancer awareness is a cause near and dear to my heart. My mother lost her fight with cancer when I was only 19 and my older sister is now a three year survivor.

Francesca G., owner and founder of LovLes by Francesca – a funky fashion and accessory line – came from humble beginnings, and where she got to today was by her very own doing. Persistence and determination were key.
Francesca originally worked in Real Estate, but she just knew she wanted to do something more creative and lucrative. In 2009, recording artist, Vice Versa, had approached Francesca to write a song. You see, she had always wanted to become a singer, so this was the perfect opportunity for her. She was a bit apprehensive at first, but she went through with Versa’s request.
Shortly after, she was introduced to a producer named Eddie; they started recording a mix tape in Jersey City, called “White Noise.” It was a hip hop album and originally released on Myspace. Francesca was ready to take on more musical responsibility.
Francesca Giambona, former rap artist-turned-fashionista, is set to re-launch her clothing brand, LovLes by Francesca. Currently, she is selling sports attire and other apparel for men and women.
Justin Bieber stripped down to his underwear during Tuesday night’s live broadcast of “Fashion Rocks.” Bieber started out in a blazer and slacks, but he decided to strip one layer at a time until he was wearing nothing but his boxer briefs as he introduced a performer on the program with model Lara Stone. We’ve even got the video, in case you missed it.
Joan Rivers funeral was held on Sunday and stars lined the Fifth Avenue to say good-bye to a legend. Rivers’ services, held at New York’s Temple Emanu-El, may have been just what she would have wanted.
In her 2012 book “I Hate Everyone … Starting With Me”, Joan Rivers said that she expected her funeral to be “a huge showbiz affair with lights, cameras, action” and “Hollywood all the way.” Instead of a rabbi talking, Rivers asked for “Meryl Streep crying, in five different accents” and “a wind machine so that even in the casket my hair is blowing just like Beyonce’s.”
On Sunday, Rivers’ may have gotten the send-off she had wanted.
