Vogue July 1979 This is issue has one of my all time favorite photos of Gia.  It's by Denis Piel and Gia is wearing a snake skin coat, (I think.?)

Irony or Fate?

This issue also has a section on people who are very much being talked about.  One of them is Meryl Streep.  It also features a story on writer William Styron at the time of the relase of his new book, "Sophie's Choice."  Several years later, Streep played the role of Sophie in the movie.

Photos of Gia from an article on, "Your Breasts."   (How appropriate!)
