Teen Vogue

Well... we were told no... and as an only child, it is a word I tend not to listen to or ever like to hear.

We wanted to advertise in Teen Vogue and the editors told us no... not very surprising I guess, but completely frustrating and indicative of the uphill battle we have with the public message about sex and sexuality to teens and young adults.

Calvin Klein can put up a billboard in New York city showing a young girl topless having a Foursome (we've moved beyond a menage a trois apparently) to advertise jeans to our teens and young adults... can you even see the jeans? Then we turn around to the same audience of the foursome and say..."wait til your married" and "abstinence is best" and wonder why it isn't very effective... REALITY CHECK PLEASE!


I am thrilled, however, that this has stirred a conversation and I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting Shawn Decker on Twitter... he wrote about my having to hear the word "no" in his blog for Poz...

So the conversation continues and I guess that is the purpose... just wish we could've advertised for back to school! Because if that's what Calvin Klein jeans do for your social life, you will definitely be needing a few condoms...

Remember, this Saturday is National HIV Testing Day... know your status... know your partner's status... if you don't know FOR SURE, use a condom...

Love Well. Love Wisely.

~Just In Case...~ http://www.justincaseinc.com/


Ok, no more excuses!! That's right, you no longer have any excuse not to take charge and be in control...of your sex life!! You read it right. Yes, normally Glamour Whore is where you read about the latest beauty products, jewelry, fashion and all that glitters...well today that list includes SAFE SEX. Yup. Look, there is nothing sexier or more glamorous than a woman in control. It is 2009, and I still have friends who are embarrassed to buy, let alone carry condoms. I will even admit to blushing while purchasing the oh so necessary "latex accessories" (Glamour Whore's lingo for condom). However, thanks to a fabulous company called "Just In Case", I'm actually anxious to go out and make an illicit purchase... Yup, I said it, I wanna pick up some latex accessories to put in my GORGEOUS lil condom case. "Just In Case" makes the most darling lil condom cases, so chic you will be running to CVS just to have a reason to carry one. So discreet no one will ever know, but you'll wanna tell because you will be dying to show all of your girlfriends that even your birth control/protection is trendy and fashion forward. Take a look...

My favorite is the "Classic Bling"

April is STD Awareness Month!!

Happy April!! Spring has sprung... there's an energy in the air that is exhilarating... so that must be why they call it Spring Fever. Well, just remember your protection...
Condoms are a very effective means of birth control and barrier to STDs and HIV when used correctly. What do I mean "used correctly"? Yes, there is a very specific way to put on a condom... we supply two Lifestyle condoms in our compacts and Lifestyles supplied us with this very detailed How To guide...

Get tested and know your status... if you don't know your status, use a condom... if you don't know your partner's status, use a condom... and always...
Love Well. Love Wisely.

WARNING!! I'm talking about the Pope...

Before you read this, know that I am not writing to challenge or judge one faith or another. I respect religion, spirituality, wherever someone might be on that path, and the people who want nothing to do with that path. We are all here to learn from each other with mutual respect and civility...

When the Pope made his comment about condoms not being effective and exacerbating the spread of HIV in Africa, my reaction was frustration and anger. Now that I've had a while to calm down about it I would like to put a few ideas out there...

I get where he's coming from... we are all familiar with the message from the Catholic church about abstinence, monogamy, and chastity. It is behavior that is perfect and something we can choose to strive for. But instead of demonizing condoms, I wish they would focus on behavior. Scaring people with statistics and false information about prevention doesn't change the sin. According to the Dogma, the sin itself is committed whether you use a condom or not, catch a disease or not. So shouldn't they focus on the behavior of their parishioners, discovering why they would stray from abstinence or monogamy with a spouse and address those issues? Just as the death penalty doesn't prevent murder, dire statistics will not change human behavior that has been a part of the human existence since the dawn of time.

So I say to the Pope, we all understand the Catholic dogma and respect it... please lead your people to a righteous path, but do not litter it with barricades to scare your people to remain on that path. The path you lay before them should be enough... when people stray, call them back without the threat of statistics and bent truths about the effectiveness of condoms... call them back with the fulfillment of their faith, and the glory that God has to offer all the people that follow you with intention and action.

What I hope is that everyone, regardless of any religious affiliations, takes responsibility for their health when making plans or passionate quick decisions... know what you require... before you require it! Just because people look healthy doesn't mean they are... know your status, know your partner's status, and if you have any doubts, use a condom. Love Well. Love Wisely.

The New Face of AIDS in America

I want to capture the new face of AIDS in America; it is beautiful, heartbroken, strong, defiant, frustrated, and she is a woman. AIDS is not secluded to third world countries, we are living with it here and we need to recognize it's face.

I want to travel across this vast country of ours and give attention to the beautiful women here who have been afflicted with HIV/AIDS. We are a very generous country when it comes to giving to other countries, but we have to look in our own backyards with love and compassion to start a conversation about how we can prevent the further spread and the treatment of this disease here in America.
HIV is the number one cause of death for young Black women in the US... our health care system isn't helping... I want to shine a gentle compassionate light on all women with HIV/AIDS here in America to tell their "normal" yet extraordinary stories of life with the disease and how their world has been changed by it. They are mothers, daughters, wives, girlfriends, and they are creating their lives in spite of, and because of this disease... a photographic essay of determination, struggle, failure, and success.
If we normalize the conversation about AIDS, we can bring it out of the shadows and into the light to do something about it. It's difficult to solve this issue in other countries when we can't even talk about the problem we have here...
AIDS does not discriminate... there will be a face of AIDS in every state of our nation... they need to be seen, and they need to be loved. It's harder to judge and point fingers when you have a real person in front of you...
