Lips Unsealed: A Memoir
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—and, in particular, its lead singer, Belinda Carlisle—struggled with on their rise to stardom.
Leaving her unstable childhood home at the age of eighteen, Belinda battled serious weight issues, having been teased for her pudginess throughout grade school, and grappled with her confusion about being deserted by her biological father as a child.

Considering the laundry list of male artists I&#;d read about, I was hard put to choose a female who was as equally epic. I now own books on Billie Holiday, Madonna, Joni Mitchell and Carole King, yet none of them really got me that excited.
Then, while simply browsing at the bookstore, not even thinking &#;female artist books&#;, I spied Belinda&#;s memoir on the shelf and snatched it up. Belinda Carlisle was a Go-Go, and having grown up in the 80&#;s, the Go-Go&#;s were all that and a bag of chips. The opening sequence to the cult classic Fast Times at Ridgemont High opens with their pop-punk anthem &#;We Got The Beat&
