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.

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!

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!
The world’s first wheelchair accessible hot air balloon may be pretty sweet, but the cheesy design brings out the graffiti artist in me.

Denied a heart transplant, disabled vet David Whittaker has took it upon himself to drive his power wheelchair from Florida to Washington (state). Will this prove anything or will he only get in the way of traffic?

The recent headline of Saturday’s singer Vanessa White having to perform from a wheelchair got me thinking. Was she embarrassed or did she secretly like the attention? And did she learn anything from the experience? Read the rest of my thoughts here.

Read anonymous entries from real people with spinal cord injuries, sharing what it’s like to really be them.

After years of being a pussy and avoiding this surgery like the plauge, I finally broke down in 2005 and got it done. Whaa? What am I talking about you say? All will be revealed here!
