  • If you are unfamiliar with St Jude's Children's Research Hospital, let me give you a little background. The late entertainer, Danny Thomas opened the hospital in 1962 after raising the funds necessary to make it happen. The idea was, and still is, that no sick child should be turned away because their family is unable to afford proper medical care. Today, Danny's children continue to be involved in raising funds to keep the hospital going. You may have seen his daughter, Marlo Thomas, in television adds or perhaps you follow her on Twitter.

  • By now, its no secret that I am an avid supporter of the NOH8 Campaign, a huge fan of Adam Bouska's work, and an admirer of both Adam and his partner, Jeff Parshley. This past weekend was the annual NOH8 photo shoot with part of the proceeds being used to contribute to AIDS Walk NY. It has become a tradition of mine to have my photo taken anytime they are offering them in the NYC area, which luckily for me has been about once a year. I am proud to say that this was my third time and I was just as excited as I was for my first. Wearing the NOH8 tatoo on my cheek has so many layers of meaning for me.
