My Response: Katy Perry Kisses and Tells

OK, so I have been researching Katy for quite some time now and to my astonishment, there is still a lot more to learn about her. She continues to amaze me. Like in this article I found out that even as a child she had a small crush on a girl she went to school with. This doesn't really surprise me but at least she is open about it. I love how she would ask her grandmother for clothes...I have done that before. ha ha I also was happy to know that when she was entering the music business she wouldn't change her style just to get signed. GO KATY! It takes a lot for a person to have their dreams dangled right in front of them and say, "no thanks". But she did it; and now look at her. She is 24, has 2 hit singles, and is up for a Grammy. Ya, I think she is doing pretty good for herself.
