Destiney Moore in the Finals of Rock of Love Charm School

Make sure to set your tiVo on Sunday, December 21st at 9:00/8:00 Central time for the finals of Rock of Love Charm School.

The lovely, and dare we say, totally rocked-out Destiney Moore is competing for the Charm School graduation certificate (and a little bit of jing, too) against two other contestants.



Destiney has her own signature Ready two Go tin called "Naughty Haughty". 10% of all the proceeds earned from the sale of Destiney's "Naughty Haughty" tins is donated to the Open Arms Foundation, a non-profit organization that prepares and delivers free meals specifically tailored to meet the nutritional needs of inidividuals living with serious and life-threatening diseases. You can purchase Destiney's tin by clicking here.

Tune in to see Destiney rock her ROLCS challenges and charm the pants off headmistress Sharon Osbourne. (Check out some behind the scenes action HERE.)

All of us at Ready two Go wish her luck!

Ready two Promo - Safer Sex Hits the Red Carpet

Woot!

Ready two Go was fortunate enough to walk the red carpet tonight with The Condom Lady as she attended The Dirty Awards in Atlanta Georgia.

The Dirty Awards recognizes some of the finest entertainers hailing from the Dirty South. Hip hop fans are given an opportunity to vote for their favorite artists. For more information on The Dirty Awards, please visit their web site.



The Condom Lady, sometimes known as The Sex Lady, is nationally known for visiting red carpet events, music video shoots, educational facilities and churches where she advocates safer sex and provides media exposure for up and coming artists and models.

Her 30-minute TV show also promotes safer sex and provides HIV/AIDS awareness and education. She is using the Ready two Go safer sex kits as tools in her fight against STDs.

Following her red carpet run at The Dirty Awards, The Condom Lady can be found assisting with National HIV Awareness Day on December 1st.

We encourage you to pay a visit to our dear friend, The Condom Lady, as she "spreads da WORD, NOT da DISEASE"!

Ready two Know

We at Ready two Go believe that one of the most powerful tools you can have in your arsenal to assist in the war against STDs is knowledge . . . and a delightful and discreet safer sex kit from Ready two Go can't hurt, either (shameless plug, I know).

Anyway, a good place to start looking for information is the Center for Disease Control.






Another great resource for women is the Sexually Transmitted Disease Overview which can be found at womenshealth.gov.




Arm yourself with the facts. It could save your life.

Ready two Know

There's a large faction of the Ready two Go family who resides in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul for those of you who are unfamiliar). As I type, both cities are gearing up for an onslaught of media and conventioneers as the Republican National Convention makes ready to swing into St. Paul. The Democratic National Convention is already at full speed in Colorado.

Now that the candidates are being officially recognized and we know who their running mates are (well, McCain's veep will be announced shortly), take some time to become familiar with their stance on issues that matter to you.

We at Ready two Go are naturally interested in how the candidates stack up on HIV/AIDs funding, global health and sex education.

If you're interested in finding out how Obama and McCain feel about these issues, there's a great report on health08.org. Feel free to follow the link and see what the candidates have to say. It may help you in November!

Wow.

Do we have the warm fuzzies today, or what?

Just found out that the delightful Miss B gave us rave reviews on her awesome blog. She's mentioned us a couple times (she seems to especially dig the Marky Ramone tin) and so we'd like to send her a great big cyber-hug.











If you can take a minute, take a gander at her site. She's got some great information!

Ready two Know

Value of HPV vaccine for adults questioned
St. Paul Pioneer Press 8/20

Note the wording of the above headline.

The word “value” is meant to denote dollar value in this article, not the drug’s viability. The article in the St. Paul Pioneer Press details the FDA’s reluctance to approve the Gardasil vaccine, which may protect against HPV, for use in women in their mid-twenties to mid-forties. Currently, it has been approved and is being marketed to girls in target ages 11 and 12, presumably before becoming sexually active. It is meant to guard against the strains of HPV which may cause cervical cancer.

Because of its effectiveness, makers of the vaccine wanted to market it to older women as well. Per the article in the link below, the vaccine for women in the 25 to 45 age bracket is cost prohibitive even though it has been effective and will, therefore, not be made available to adult women.

This just accentuates the need for individuals to proactively protect themselves from STDs. While condoms are not always an effective deterrent for HPV, they are successful against many other forms of STDs. Ultimately, education will be your best protection. We can’t always depend on the FDA to assist us with our sexual health, so get to know your options and arm yourself with the proper tools.
