Wanted to let everyone know that I'm teaming up with Courtney Macavinta again for another round of Girls Guide to Getting REAL tour dates!
We'll be in San Diego and Los Angeles in March, and New England in April....and there's still time to book us! So if you're in one of those areas and are interested in having us come to your school, college/university, youth group, library etc... email me here!
********
and next, just a little something I found really interesting, in a sad kinda way:
Apparently even the sexiest man alive gets airbrushed/photoshopped/electronically made over these days when appearing in print.
Not that I hang with Brad regularly, but that ad (some new Japanese jeans ad) on the left makes him look a whole lot thinner then he normally appears in paparazzi photos etc.
Which is just dumb. Cause is there anyone who sits around thinking "Brad would be a lot cuter if his waist were just a tad thinner..."
Audrey --
I just discovered your blog. WOW! I love that you're so passionate about encouraging health in women (and men). I hope to find a copy of your book and take it with me when I head back to college. I'm pursuing teacher education and hope to model and encourage healthy behavior for all of my students.
And photoshopped pictures of Brad Pitt frighten me.

Hi Audrey, I got the link to your site on a desperate search for any information about JUMP magazine. I subscribed to it when I was younger until it was discontinued in 2000. It was such a wonderful magazine, and I found solice in it as young girl. I was gutted when it folded, but in a way I wasn't suprised. How could a magazine that spoke to REAL girls stick around in a world that shuns anything real. Anyways, I had kept a stash of all my old magazines in a box in my parents basement, only to come home and find out they recycled them, thinking I had out grown them. Do you of any place I may be able to find old issues of JUMP? I know its a long shot, but I thought who better to ask than the editor of the magazine?? Thank you so much for your time, and thank you for being part of such an amazing production!

Your tour sounds awesome and I would love to see what you do, but I can't get the Real Girl Tour link to work. When are you workshops and where?

anything wrong or that he was trying to take a cheap shot at JA, alhugtoh the tabloids and blogs would like folks to believe otherwise. After reading the excerpt from the Parade interview, I felt that Brad was commenting on that particular time in his life which just happened to include the years he was married. If he’d wanted to insult her (as many other celebrities and others have done in the past, with a lot less tact, I might add), he could have. But as he’s proven time and again, Brad is a gentleman and the comments he made were focused on his role in figuring out what was working and and what was not working in his life. I think that there are a lot of people who took Brad and JA’s so-called storybook relationship and wedding to heart, and therefore felt slighted and hurt when reality stepped in and proved that things aren’t always as they appear from the outside. As so many people have said here before, the only people who know what happened are Brad, Jen and Angelina. It’s nobody’s business but their own. But media speculation and the American peoples’ fanatical desire for all things celebrity, specifically the chance to see them disgraced or spiraling out of control, has forced all three of them to comment in some way. I think they’ve all handled it with class and respect for one another. It is everyone else (the haters) that tries to read between the lines and find some sort of insult there.Brad tends to avoid most questions about his former marriage, but has consistently said that he has nothing but respect for JA and that she’s a sweet person that he still considers a friend. However, jealousy and misunderstanding are green-eyed monsters, and Brad’s candor did nothing but fan the flames. That being said, maybe Brad should not have been so honest, but then he’d have been called a liar, again. Kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation. Sorry for the long comments, but this whole fallout after Brad’s “diss” is completely taken out of context and out of control. Some of the comments on blogs are unbelievable! From what some folks are saying, you’d think that Jen was some kind of saint and that Brad and Angie has stolen their money, called them ugly and kicked their dog! He even talked about this on Oprah, but people tend to overlook this:“Jen and I always made a pact; that we’ll see where this thing is going. I’m not sure it really is in our nature to be with someone for the rest of our lives, just because you made this pact. You keep going as long as you keep growing. When that dies, we do.” He clearly said this about their relationship, in addition to lovely comments he made about JA as a person, before Angelina came into the picture.
