GIA- TOO BEAUTIFUL TO DIE. TOO WILD TO LIVE


 "I'd tell them that you don't have to be anybody. Because I'd know that being somebody doesn't make you anybody anyway." - Gia Carangi

 This young woman is a total inspiration to me. I haven't seen such an amazing, spirited, wild, independent person in my life! 
Gia Marie Carangi (January 29, 1960 – November 18, 1986)
She was an american fashion model in late 70s. 
Carangi was featured on the cover of British VOGUE


VOGUE Italia


American VOGUE 


VOGUE Paris twice



She had the whole world on her finger tips, unfortunately she became addicted to heroin. Despite this, she was still determined to make a comeback in the fashion industry. In 1986 she was diagnosed with AIDS. Gia was first woman who died of AIDS. 
There is a biography of Carangi by Stephen Fried called Thing of Beauty and movie "GIA" with Angelina Jolie.
Take a look at early life of Carangi:




Also, take o look at these episodes from movie "GIA"


See you soon
