NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A spellbinding and shocking look at Belinda Carlisle’s role in forming the Go-Go’s and her rise, fall, and eventual rebirth as a wife, mother, and sober artist “An unflinching look back . . . with heartbreaking honesty and a wry sense of humor.”—USA Today The women of the iconic eighties band the Go-Go’s will always be remembered as they appeared on the back of their debut record: sunny, smiling, each soaking in her own private bubble bath with chocolates and champagne. The photo is a perfect tribute to the fun, irreverent brand of pop music that the Go-Go’s created, but it also conceals the trials and secret demons that the members of the group—in particular, its lead singer, Belinda Carlisle—struggled with on their rise to stardom. Lips Unsealed is Belinda’s story in her own words—from her crazy days on tour with the Go-Go’s to her private problems with abusive relationships, self-esteem, and a thirty-year battle with addiction. Ultimately, it is a love letter to music, the lifelong friendships between the members of the Go-Go’s, the beloved husband and son who led Belinda to sobriety, and a life which, though deeply flawed, was—and is still—fully lived.

Antonia Scott-Clark has been researching the modern "light orb" phenomena for the past several years and has come to some astonishing conclusions. She has been photographing orbs for many years but started photographing them in earnest from the year 2000 onwards. She describes herself as always having been an incurable roving paranormal butterfly flitting from mystical flower to mystical flower without settling for long on any one bloom until orbs, which she prefers to call Light Beings, entered her life. She took these very seriously and has conducted a private research into the phenomenon. The results of her findings are described in this book and also included are many of her spectacular photographs. With her friend, GoGos lead singer Belinda Carlisle, Antonia tells of her many adventures with orbs and answers such questions as: Can you see orbs with the naked eye?; Are orbs intelligent?; What are the Black Villages?; What is the connection between orbs and crop circles? And tons more. Antonia gives instruction on how to photograph orbs, and how to communicate with these Light Beings of the Cosmos.
