The dye in blue M&M’s has been discovered to help paralyzed rats walk again. What’s next? Will Pop Rocks be the secret cure for AIDS?
I’m buying me some M&M’s asap!

Month: July 2009
Should we date people who were once disabled, or are we just a painful reminder?
Would you want to be romantically tangled up with someone who not only shared your life’s greatest pain, but went through a much worse version? Would being with them be akin to picking at a nearly healed scab?
You simply must read my thoughts on this subject. Click here for the full blog!

Minnesotans Do It Better
I am so in love with this wedding party, these people, the groom, the bride. I need to be their friend!
And they’re from Minnesota too. Hells yes.
Cutting calories may extend life, health. Does this mean I’ll live to see 100?
Following a 20 year study in primates, scientists have discovered you can live not only a helluva lot longer, but remain disease-free too, if you eat less. I’ve been eating less for years. Will I be rockin’ out in 2079?

Competition in the disability world, and why it’s ridiculous
A secret pecking order exists in some disability circles, and I’ve had enough of it. I’m outing this stupid thing once and for all :p (you know who you are)

My dream of looking like a badass may finally come true
Fashion-wise, what defines “badass” to you? Torn jeans, an old Aerosmith concert shirt from the 1980s? For me, it’s the classic trench coat, and it’s been denied to me until now. A wheelchair may be a hindrance to a lot of things, but it can’t rain on my badassery parade any longer.
See what I mean on my latest blog on Izzy Camilleri, a haute couture fashion designer who’s thrown her hat into the adapted fashion ring.

Coco Before Chanel (“Coco Avant Chanel”)
Finally! A movie I’m looking forward to see! And if you don’t know the tawdry, fascinating back-story of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, you’re in for a treat! (especially if you love period films set in 1930’s France. Me!)
This highly-buzzed film stars Audrey Tatou as Coco and WILL be a film with subtitles. I <3 me some subtitles though. It lends to the authenticity. Wouldn’t it been cool if Gladiator had all been in Latin? (yes!)
Anywhos, Coco Before Chanel opens in select cities September 25th. And in the words of Dave Letterman: You better damn hope your city gets selected!

Favorite MJ Memory?
I realize this blog is pretty late in getting on the Michael Jackson-death bandwagon. But WTF. If you’re reading this it probably means you must like this blog, so please, share your thoughts on MJ.
What’s your favorite memory of this legendary performer?
My submission: As a little girl I’d rifle through my mom’s album collection, and the Thriller album was something I’d always reach for. The imagry captivated me. What can I say? There was something creepy yet erotic about MJ holding a tiger cub. Especially when his wrist bones flexed!
Ok your turn!
World’s most annoying placement of the universal disability symbol
The world’s first wheelchair accessible hot air balloon may be pretty sweet, but the cheesy design brings out the graffiti artist in me.
