“I don’t give two sh—s about my breasts. I didn’t care that, at the Golden Globes, I wouldn’t be able to show cleavage. … They said, ‘Are you sure you want to do this? Think about the life you lead and the fabulous dresses and that’s part of your job. It could put your job in jeopardy.’ And I thought, if I ever have a job that is defined by my breasts and some gorgeous gown then I’m in the wrong business.”
—Giuliana Rancic, cover gal for the February issue of Chicago’s Michigan Avenue magazine, talks about her decision to have a double mastectomy.
First of all, Giuliana rocks. Let’s get that part out of the way.
Second of all, I was under the misguided impression that Giuliana was going to have elective cosmetic surgery right away. Apparently not? Way bold.
On becoming one tough little bird, thanks to the strength of friends and fans:
“I think because breast cancer touches so many people, when someone hears you have it, they just shower you with love. The one word I always saw in all the messages was strong. You’re so strong, stay strong, be strong—when you hear something enough, you start believing it.”
Wow. Keep doing as you do, Mrs. Rancic.
The more I hear about her, the more I like her. Go Giuliana.
Yeah me too. Before I could only focus on her hideousness but now she has a soul too.
Good for her and how she’s handling the hand dealt.
She’s a little bit deluded about why she is “famous” (as famous as a non-talented “reality” star can be), but at least she seems to be smart enough to realize what’s important.
I think she has a great attitude, BUT— cleavage and gowns IS the industry she is in. What she looks like plays a huge role in her job; she’s not a real journalist, she’s a Hollywood reporter.
I wish her health and happiness——-and no more delusions in 2012!
