Lesbian Icon: Who? When? Where?
Rosie O’Donnell

'The Rosie O' Donnell Show' became the most popular daytime chat show of its time, winning an emmy in 1998 for Outstanding Talk Show. It focused less on the debate of people's personal issues and more on live performance, interviews and entertainment.
O'Donnell met her partner Kelli Carpenter, in 1998 through her brother Daniel. The two were married in 2004, in San Francisco. The marriage coincided with an announcement by President George W Bush that there would be an amendment to the constitution that would ban gay marriage. O' Donnell said: "I think the actions of the president are, the most vile and hateful words ever spoken by a sitting president, I am stunned and I'm horrified....And, you know, I think a lot of people will be going to San Francisco."
She is an active spokesperson for gay rights. The couple now have 4 children, and it was her role as a gay parent which made her come out in 2002. In an interview with Diane Sawyer, she commented: "I don't think America knows what a gay parent looks like. I am a gay parent."

DOTWORLD - Stand out from the crowd!
Brand new domain names are now available though dotWORLDS registrars which bring Internet users greater flexibility than ever before. If you want to be seen as more successful, you could try registering "www.extremely.rich". Want to be more attractive? Try securing "www.good.looking". Looking to be a pop idol? Then maybe "www.pop.star" is still available.
Brian Retkin, director of dotWORLDS Ltd said, "This is a very exciting development. Now, people have the ability to use domain names for what they were intended: a memorable, relevant and fun way for people to find websites and content on the Internet. We have already seen communities springing up around some of the free domains that we offer, such as ".music", and people are turning to dotWORLDS to express themselves."
And.....to mark their appreciation of your time and interest, they are now offering No-Cost Web Hosting too. Check out their easy-to-use Templates and you'll find that you'll be able to build, publish and launch your very own website today.
Yes......free domain names, email addresses and hosting packs. Only at dotWORLDS. You Know It Makes Sense.
We very much look forward to meeting up with VELVET-CLUB members and guests on Tuesday 31 October at ROUGE NOIR. If I can be of any assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best wishes
