Lady Gaga is known for her fashion power and inspires many woman and girls today into going for the fashion industry. Lady Gaga is inspired by glam rock musicians such as David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, as well as pop music artists such as Madonna and Michael Jackson. She has also stated fashion is a source of inspiration for her songwriting and performances. She has sold over ten million albums and over thirty-five million singles worldwide.

Lady Gaga has stated that she is "very into fashion" and that it is "everything" to her She has her own creative production team called the Haus of Gaga, which she handles personally. The team creates many of her clothes, stage props, and hairdos.

Her love of fashion came from her mother, who she stated was "always very well kept and beautiful." She said that: "When I'm writing music, I'm thinking about the clothes I want to wear on stage. It's all about everything altogether—performance art, pop performance art, fashion. For me, it's everything coming together and being a real story that will bring back the super-fan. I want to bring that back. I want the imagery to be so strong that fans will want to eat and taste and lick every part of us."

Personally, I am a HUGE fan of hers. She is the modern day Cyndi Lauper in my book! A singing and walking fashion statement /trend.

She is truely amazing and so talented!

Happy Birthday Lady Gaga!

T-mobile Helping Schools / UFC Night

As I was doing some much needed Spring Cleaning in my room, I went threw alot of boxes and I came

across one with old cellphones. I went online and searched Recycled Cell-phones - I came across T-mobile's Help schools earn money for technology equipment. I was very happy. I read into the details of it and it seemed perfect. The phones I came across happened to be TMOBILE so that worked out, due to my change over to Verizon recently a year ago. I donated 2 Sidekicks and 1 Pink Razor Flip. People have to realize a little something like that goes a long way and helps alot!

Look into DONATION of all sorts & see how you can HELP out!

Last night was the kick off of alot of college student's Spring Break. My girls and I went to a local bar and watched the UFC fight featuring GS Pierre VS. Dan Hardy. Alot of people dont like the underdog aka. The Outlaw Dan Hardy but I absolutely love him. The fight was pretty tight where GSP had Dan in lock alot. Twisting his arm, my gosh - it looked so painful! Hardy stayed true and didnt tap out. I hope he earned alot more respect after this fight - it showed how hungry he is and strong to keep fighting through!

What are you doing this spring break? -are you home watching MTV Spring Break? or are you there - in mexico!?

Whatever you are doing for your time off - have fun and be safe!

Donations & Book Buy Backs

Yestorday I went to the book-store and received cash from a buyback of my Anatomy book.
With buy-backs its great because you get cash in return and you can buy another book for your next class!



Today was beautiful! Gathered alot of clothing among my family and friends and put together a whole lot of bags adding up to the number of 600 bags ive ever donated or helped donate!

People forget that summer is coming up, homeless need a change of clothing too! People usually think to donate around christmas, which is absolutely great! BUT please keep in mind it doesnt stop just there!

Computer Applications

We just completed the Excel Chapters and had a test. I think Excel believe it or not was the hardest. Alot of people actually don't know how to use it or maybe do but just not all the crazy things you can do! I learned so much. Making graphs, charts, but all to fancy professional layouts that just blew me away! Taking chapters on word and powerpoint were easy because I've been using those programs for years but, excel was a challange!

Is everyone ready for Spring classes?
I hope so, classes are pretty much filled up!

SOOOO.. HURRY UP!

STUDENT POLL & THE PRICE OF BEAUTY

The Student Poll has been talied up! ( What was your favorite class at Berkeley?)

Surprisingly- out of the responses here are the most popular classes:

1. Law & Society
2. Health Services- Anatomy
3. Gender & Race
4. Consumer Behavior - Marketing
   

and a more-like letter that any class with Professor Hill such as Intro to Criminal Justice and Police and Society is great!

Thank you to all whom participated!

THE PRICE OF BEAUTY

As for the next part of my blog - let me tell you about the show The Price Of Beauty featuring Jessica Simpson. I actually love it and for its goal to be true to its title - it is captured in each episode greatly and still lets us see the fun loving Jessica as much as the serious careing side of her.

The episode I saw was dealing with Asian countries. I was paying extra attention since I am half from asian decent. Apparently, it is a great deal to be pale skin white over there it gives the sense of being wealthy and beautiful when being tan gives out the message of poor - people who work in the fields under the sun. I never knew nor thought of that, its strange. Especially because, here in the U.S we are all about tan-tan skin and always being under the sun. They then met with a woman who bought products that promised to lighten the skin (not knowing it had bleach) and it ruined her skin. Due to that she lost everything - including her husband leaving her because of how she looked. How horrible. She was a singer and wanted to stay "beautiful" and trying to be what other people think is beautiful nearly killed her. I approve of this show and I hope it touches peoples lives and makes people stop judging and hurting young girls.

Ttyl, have to work on my Business Organization paper.

IN MY HOME TOWN

Well, as I have reported to you all yesterday - My town had been rocked by the storm pretty bad. We are still with out power and the water is still contaminated. Boiling water is a must! A lot of homes were damaged by trees due to this area being well known for its woods. We are high up with older trees which means that the roots of these trees are not deep in the ground but spread sideways across the ground so they were knocked over by the wind easily especially since the ground has been soaked from all the wet snow we've had up here as well. News 12 New Jersey had featured some of my pictures that I have taken!


In my house, were lucky to have heat since my step-father is crazy and created a way with a bunch of RV batteries hooked up to my car charging them constantly to all the right things to get the heat going in the house and switch it on and off from heat to charging the fridge. Its hard to explain, I don't even know how he did it. Genius though!

I have my Computer-Applications class tonight. I hope most of the roads are cleared now. In this area there are road blocks all over including my street. Local cops patrolling at night, its insane! Neighbors asking neighbors for help due to flooding in basements and or asking if they have extra bottled water - its almost a mini emergency zone!

Last night by candles and lanterns I completed reading The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. Man, does he know how to make you cry! Seriously, I know he's a very talented writer and yes his stories all have things in common but the end is always a surprise! And boy was I shocked! I love the ending in this book! It is a amazing worth while read! I will post a blog about the book with details another time. I must get ready to go out! Be safe out there!
