Untitled

This article needs to be mergered with Gia Carangi. I simply wrote it because on the Gia page , I saw Gia Marie Carangi had no entry and been that shes one of my personal heroes I felt the need to write about her, not knowing about the other article.

Lesbian?

She lived a fast lifestyle owing to the fact that she was a lesbian? I think that could be removed or restated...—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lionelbrits (talk • contribs) 15:38, 11 October 2005.

she was bi, to be precise. Joeyramoney 19:54, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree about the lesbian comment. It is inappropriate and I have deleted it since no-one seems to be acting on the suggestion.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.99.0.69 (talk • contribs) 21:30, 22 November 2005.

Her date of death is listed incorrectly throughout the entire article. Gia died on January 29, 1986. I will never forget that date.

Thanks—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.50.77.243 (talk • contribs) 00:43, 30 January 2006.

Actually, she was born on January 29. She died on November 18, 1986. In her biography this is the date listed, and in the documentray "The Self-Destruction Of Gia," her mother names that as the date.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.105.110.84 (talk • contribs) 20:31, 19 October 2006.

"while some think she was completely lesbian, Which in documentaries and books confirm that she is a lesbian and not bisexual."

this doesn't make any sense! I'll try to restore an older version Plch 16:11, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Sources?

I find it bizarre that someone on this discussion page found it inappropriate to have an unsourced claim that Gia was a lesbian, but are perfectly fine with the allegations of drug use and prostitution. I will do some looking for sources to back up these claims, but if I can't find them then I'm removing them. -Kasreyn 16:06, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

>>>AMEN! She was a JUNKIE! A pampered, self-absorbed, overly-flattered JUNKIE! Reading how Scavullo says he 'still cries' is such hypocricy. He was part of the crowd that ENABLED her to be a JUNKIE and did nothing to stop her from being a JUNKIE.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.67.104.4 (talk • contribs) 17:02, 13 October 2006.

Well,you should take into consideration that she was sexually abused as a girl and experienced her parents divorcing which left devastated and heart broken,and also how some people did not treat her fairly in life.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.50.198.143 (talk • contribs) 06:17, 30 December 2006.

Ethnic looks?

Can someone please explain to me what "ethnic looks" are? As far as I know we all have an ethnicity, or a collection of mixed ethnicities. I, for instance, am part Irish. Do I have ethnic looks? Does anyone? Or is this sentence just another bleeding, amputated stump left in the wake of a hasty edit? If no one objects I will replace "ethnic" with "exotic" unless someone can provide a source for precisely what ethnicity is being referred to. Thanks, -Kasreyn 09:53, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, no one has answered my question, so apparently no one knows what "ethnic looks" are. I'm removing all references to such from the article. -Kasreyn 06:23, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

When people say someone has ethnic looks,it means they have exotic like features.This applies to European descended people.Examples like Gia,Catherine Zeta-Jones,you should know what I'm talking about.Southern Europeans,with their light olive complexion and darker features are also considered ethnic looking.So ethnicness in Europeans has to do with exoticness.

It's actually pretty funny that you used Catherine Zeta Jones as an example of "exotic" or "ethnic" looks considering she's Welsh, as in from the UK, where we get 50X as much rain as sun. I'm not saying she doesn't look exotic, but I still find it funny.--Lyco499 (talk) 05:44, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Ethnic is code word for black or Asian mixed in with white. Let's just be plain about it. 24.91.26.152 (talk) 06:30, 27 April 2012 (UTC) ‎

External Links

Some of these need to go. There's a lot of duplicated information in these links, and also the titles are very uninformative. If no one objects, then in about a week I'll see what I can do about trimming the external links section, probably down to about 5, more if it's warranted. -Kasreyn 08:36, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

I've just deleted some fansite links, AGAIN. Please read WP:NOT and WP:EL. These sites were not NPOV, don't offer any unique resource that I can see, use rich media and at least one had several grammatical errors. I've added a link to the Gia Carangi Open Directory Project category, which includes several fansites. This should be sufficient. Belovedfreak 12:36, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Poor Writing

This entire article is sloppy. There is literally zero flow to the sentences. They do not connect with each other. Poor wording has been used. It feels repetitive throughout. The third paragraph of "Rise" is particularly bad. Half of most of the paragraphs are just quotes.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.40.243.226 (talk • contribs) 2 November 2006.

uh, yeah, this article seriously needs a pic.

insult to the memory of gia for not having one. i mean, what gives. please add a pic! :)) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.232.108.228 (talk) 05:20, 22 February 2007 (UTC).

pronunciation

is g in her surname pronounced as g in goat or g in George? West Brom 4ever 11:12, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use image

IMO in this article it is fine to use a fair use image. First, because she's a model, nobody would really have taken a picture of her without the intention of reaping profit, so an existing free photo is extremely hard to find. Secondly, this individual is deceased, no photographer can take a picture of her now. Chimeric Glider (talk) 01:49, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I see the image was removed with "non-fair use images of living people are forbidden" in March... er, did that poster notice Gia died in the 80s...? Unlikelyheroine (talk) 22:06, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
