25.01.2022 Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I Touch Myself Project....Do It For Chrissy!

20.01.2022 Divinyls 'Come Down to Earth'....written by Chrissy Amphlett & Mark McEntee, this song was on the 1996 album Underworld!

20.01.2022 Chrissy, All Day! One of Chrissy's wishes, especially on her birthday, would have been for her family, friends, fans, women, and men to observe Breast Cancer A...wareness Month. Undoubtedly, 2020 has been a most challenging year for all of humankind. Add to that the tremendous burden having and suffering from this deadly disease. Breast cancer shortened Chrissy's life and all the endeavors she had planned. To this day, breast cancer has indescribably affected my life. Listen to your body, touch yourself - early detection can make all the difference. You likely have the sensitivity to know when a feeling or transformation has occurred inside your body. You may identify a change before seeking professional guidance. Women and men should feel no shame in reaching out to your companion, partner, friend, lover, or family member and remind them to schedule their breast check-up. Prioritize self-examination as you do your morning ritual. For more insight and guidance, please visit https://itouchmyself.org/. With Love & Respect, CD Portrait photo; Sandrine Lee

06.01.2022 CHRISSY AMPHLETT WAS BORN ON THIS DAY IN 1959...Christine Joy "Chrissy" Amphlett (25 October 1959 21 April 2013) was an Australian singer, songwriter and actress who was the frontwoman of the Australian rock band Divinyls. Amphlett grew up in Geelong in Victoria, Australia, as a singer and dancer. She left home as a teenager and travelled to England, France, and Spain. She was detained for three months in Spain, for singing on the streets. In May 2001, Divinyls' "Science Fi...ction", written by Amphlett and lead guitarist Mark McEntee, was selected by the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) as one of the Top 30 Australian songs of all time. Amphlett and McEntee barely spoke after the band separated in 1996, but resumed contact when they were inducted in 2006 into the ARIA Hall of Fame, eventually announcing a new album and tour. Amphlett died in 2013 of breast cancer and complications from multiple sclerosis. Chrissy’s family and friends and Cancer Council NSW launched the breast cancer awareness project "I Touch Myself" in 2014, as a tribute to her. The video features 10 leading female Australian artists (Olivia Newton John, Megan Washington, Sarah McLeod, Katie Noonan, Sarah Blasko, Suze DeMarchi, Deborah Conway, Kate Ceberano, Little Pattie and Connie Mitchell) singing Amphlett's song. Cancer Council NSW summarized the message of the campaign as "However, detecting breast cancer early is the most important factor in beating this disease. Through this campaign we are encouraging women to get to know their breasts better, to know what is normal for them and to participate in breast screening if they’re in the right age range." Her contribution to the arts and legacy have been honoured by having a Melbourne central city laneway named "Amphlett Lane" in her honour, complete with a commemorative plaque and two artworks. In November 2018, Amphlett was posthumously inducted into the Music Victoria Hall of Fame. The One & Only Queen Of Aussie Rock...R.I.P.
