Support Our Independent Artists!

I'm sending this out in a call to action to all of my 'GGG' Readers and Supporters!
I want to introduce you all to a talented woman whom I had to pleasure of meeting a couple months back - her name is Azariah Gunn. She's an amazingly talented actress, writer and poet is currently in production of her short film, "Spare Change" which she wrote, is directing and producing through her own production company, Its Personal Films along with business partner Jeff Greene. I know how tough it is to be an independent artist as Im sure a lot of you do as well and it's important that we support one another as we would like people to support our own so Im asking on their behalf to help these two talented people reach their production goal of $10,000 so they can really bring this project to life. Even $5 makes a difference. For more information on "Spare Change" and Its Personal Films, check the promo video and website link below. Ciao! Kris.H

New York City Halloween Party Guide!

 Known for being on of the biggest party nights outside of New Years Eve, Halloween in the NYC can be one of the most exciting and overwhelming experiences that includes a parade that hosts over two million spectators and hundreds of parties to choose from. If you're anything like me, you probably haven't even picked out a costume, let alone decided where you'll be enjoying your night. I've created a list of some of the best events (gay, straight and in between) to help make the process a little less threatening.



The Parade(s):

Manhattan

The New York Village Halloween Parade is an annual holiday parade and street pageant, that stretches over a mile and boasts two million spectators, 50 thousand costumed participants, floats, live bands, and a world-wide television audience of 100 million viewers. It is the largest public parade in the United States and the country's only night parade that is open to anyone in costume who want's to march. This is where you see any and everything goes.

To March:
For all those in costume is on 6th Avenue South of Spring Street and North of Canal between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Alert ! ONLY enter the line-up on 6th Ave. from the East and South between Canal and Spring ! 

To Watch
Live: On 6th Avenue from Spring Street to 21st Street from 7 - 10 p.m.Get there early(5-6pm) for a good view.


TV: NY 1 Television from 8 - 9:30 p.m.

Brooklyn
The Halloween Parade is Park Slope is a little more quaint and less raunchy for those who want to celebrate the day with the kids. With a West Indian percussion band and a “Spooky Seas” theme to include a 20-foot-tall mermaid puppet, this year’s march will be like the Crown Heights West Indian Day Parade and Coney Island’s Mermaid Parade rolled into one — only without the fire marshal-sized crowds or bare breasts.
The Park Slope Children’s Halloween Parade begins at 6:30 pm at Seventh Avenue and 14th Street, turns left at Third Street and continues to Fifth Avenue. For info, visit www.parkslopeciviccouncil.org.

Tiffany Evans Slams Rhianna's New Single; Calls the Industry Satantic

Now, Im not one for a lot of gossip - which is backwards as hell for an entertainment blogger but after reading this story and doing more research on the subject, it's enough to make you a little freaked out and sleep with one eye open.

Singer, Tiffany Evans made the claim on her Twitter page that many in the entertainment industry are Satanists who worship the devil and blasts Rhianna's new song, Russian Roulette as an irresponsible glamorization of suicide.


The singer wrote, “Russian Roulette= Suicidal Rate gon sky rocket!


“Man! I really wish I could tell you guys what the industry really is and what stars are apart of destroying this world. The stars who worship satan,and those who have killed to get the respect they have now. You’d be verrrry surprise. Some of your favorite people pretend to worship God but they only do that to save face. Or seem innocent.

“Satan was head of music in heaven. He uses influential people…to help influence the world. Think about that. Once u make a certain amount of money. Just know that that’s when they ask u to join. To get in you have accept the beast, worship. Once you join they assist u with ur career.make u huge.only if u agree and obey to destroy Gods word.and his children.


“Ppl listen and pay attention. Its a war going on right now between Good and Evil. Evil will rule this world for a min. The people that have this power are the people that RULE the whole world. I’m done I won’t say anymore before I get in trouble.
“Being in this industry for many years, I’ve come to realize artist and labels need to be held accountable for their actions. I strongly feel that artists, whether they like it or not, are role models and should act as such. I am opposed to the freedom of speech or artistic expression, but there are certain rules to be followed.”

While she did recant her story the very next day, stating she never claimed Rhianna to be a devil worshiper, I can't help to think some of this stuff isn't just make believe. There has been smoke around a lot of big-named artists, heads of corporations and folks in the government running some secret society called Illuminati. Usually where there is smoke, there's fire. There are a few videos on Youtube you can check out that explain the position of why certain artists are believed to be apart of this "secret society". 

Picture perfect: White House unveils new Obama family portrait - photographed by Annie Leibovitz

Simply beautiful..


The White House is out with a new Obama family portrait - a casual shot taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz.

The official White House photo, taken in the Green Room, shows the President in a White shirt and red tie, with daughter Sasha draping her arm around him.

Sasha is holding hands with mom, Michelle, who is being embraced by big sister Malia. Malia is 11 years old, and Sasha is 8.

The shot was taken Sept. 1 and released Friday morning.

Bobby Brown Digs Up Old Whitney Houston Lesbian Rumors

Poor Bobby craving attention after Whitney dismissed his ass...no one's buying his damn book...If Whitney indeed loves women as much as I do, more power to her!

http://www.shewired.com/Article.cfm?ArticlePage=2&ID=23785

In his new tell-all book, Bobby Brown claims ex-wife Whitney Houston married him at least partially to quash rumors she was in a lesbian relationship. According to Brown, Houston was desperate to stop media speculation she was romantically involved with assistant Robyn Crawford.
"[The marriage] was doomed from the beginning," Bobby Brown writes in his biography, The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But. "I think we got married for all the wrong reasons. Now, I realize Whitney had a different agenda than I did when we got married."

Bobby Brown claims he married Whitney Houston out of love and wanted to raise a family with her. He says Houston, on the other hand, had different reasons for wanting to tie the knot. "The media was accusing her of having a bisexual relationship with her assistant, Robyn Crawford," Brown writes in his book. "Since she was the American Sweetheart and all, that didn't go too well with her image."
Whitney Houston met Robyn Crawford while attending the Roman Catholic all-girl high school, Mount Saint Dominic Academy. Houston has called Crawford the "sister she never had." Crawford resigned from Houston's management company in 2000 as rumors of Houston and Brown's drug use began to reach epic heights.

In the unauthorized Whitney Houston biography, Good Girl, Bad Girl, author Kevin Ammons states Houston's mother repeatedly demanded the singer "get rid" of Robyn before her relationship with Crawford ruined her career. Ammons also claims Houston paid off former publicist Regina Brown to keep quiet about her relationship with Crawford, allegedly giving her extravagant presents like a gold Mercedes-Benz and free rent on a luxury apartment.

He Says; She Says: Guest Blogger Spotlite "Bi…curious? Sexual Identity vs. Sexuality"

Bi...Curious? Sexual Identity vs Sexuality

By: Mika Hendersen

About 5 yrs ago I met a girl named, Michelle.  She was a model like myself and after some time took a liking to me...as friends only of course.  One evening after a fashion show, we went out to dinner.  The topic turns to sex (as my friend’s claim it always does around me) and I shared with her my experiences being with a woman.  Now at this point I have yet to establish a title or category for myself as I only figured I was just a freak whose lovin' did not discriminate...and hell at that point I am not even sure if I was doing anything right yet.  She became intrigued with my stories.  She leaned over and whispered, "Can you be my first?" Immediately flattered by the question, I said sure. Why not? And as soon as her curiosity catalyzed a realistic response, her mood changed.  She couldn't look at me in my eyes and a sort of shame worn across her face.  She told me, "Nevermind...forget I asked"...and hurried out the restaurant.  I was left there hurt, guilty I have caused someone to feel weird and not because I liked her...it was because I was offended...because she offended who I am and something that is a part of me.  I know it wasn’t her fault but it wasn't until years later and after I fell in love for the first time with a woman, and some experience afterward that I understood the difference between Sexual Identity and Sexuality.

Michelle's intrigue ...to me... is normal.  Society drives the fear into everyone that if you even have fantasies about the same sex, you are gay.  This is simply not true.  Just how far your sexual fantasies go depend on how comfortable you are with sex...this is a part of SEXUALITY...and sometimes your sexuality is limited by factors such as family, politics or religion...and these  factors holds you back from exploring those possibilities in your mind.  I feel too many women confuse their fantasies with immediately thinking they are gay...when having fantasies can simply just be a normal part of human sexuality.  Since society drills it into the mainstream that gay is abnormal, the need for a label is created.  Enters in, being "bicurious".  I don’t see the need for a label like incurious.  Its okay to accept the fact that maybe you just like sex and enjoy being sexual and that is a part of what makes us all human.  I feel my fear is that a lot of young girls take being bicurious as them being gay and it turns into a trend.  The scary thing about this trend is that real people with real feelings can get hurt because those who  identify themselves as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgendered, who they love is what makes up their Sexual identity.  Sexual identity is a definitive statement of who you are.  Hopefully we'll eventually live in a world that we can do away with titles and love is just love and needs no categories.
