THOSEGIRLSAREWILD.COM is a site that I frequent. The beautiful chaos that is this site is run by and Canadians Andrea Lewis (right) and Shannon Boodram (left). It is a hilarious series of blog entries and youtube videos about whatever these two are feeling that day. The entries are always insightful, witty, and most of all: entertaining.

Anrea Lewis is an actross (Degrassi: The Next Generation among her works), singer, writer and all around cool lady.

Shannon Boodram is a writer, a photographer,television host and all around cool lady.

Ms. Boodram is the author of a new book entitled Laid.  Here’s a brief description of the book, straight from Shannon’s site:

“About Laid: Laid is the title of Shannon’s book that is going to be released through Seal Press in October 2009. Laid is a non-fiction anthology that takes a peer mediation approach to sexual education. Youth ages 18-25 across North America were asked to share a life changing sexual experience they went through in their teens. Contributors were asked to share their stories as though they were telling it to a best friend, lecturing was prohibited. As a result, Laid is not your typical sexual education book. It’s raw, honest, steamy, scary, inspiring and eye opening stories. The book is separated into five chapters based on five common young adult sexual scenarios: hookups, positive experiences, physical consequences, date rape and abstinence. No two stories are alike but in each chapter you will find the following components: a chapter intro, a question and answer section that addresses issues touched upon in each chapter and finally an activity that challenges the reader to derive their own lessons from other’s experiences. Laid’s has contributors who share positive stories as well as those who have dealt with teenage pregnancy, abortion, STI contraction, hookups, date rape, sexual abuse and living with HIV.”

The book is amazing and can be found on Amazon here.

So PICK UP THE BOOK A.S.A.P. It’s an amazing read!!!!!!!
