Time to Celebrate North of Beautiful!

Only two more weeks now before rgz diva and co-founder Justina Chen Headley's third novel, North of Beautiful, hits the shelves, and what better way to celebrate than a party?



Where: Barnes & Noble in Bellevue, WA, 626 106th Ave. NE, (425) 451-8463

Why: North of Beautiful, of course!

When: Sunday, February 1, 3-5 p.m.

If you can’t make it to the party, but still want the book, pop into your favorite bookstore or order it from www.bn.com, www.amazon.com, and www.indiebound.org. Drop Justina an email at by Feb. 14, and she’ll snail mail you an autographed bookplate.

The FIND BEAUTY CHALLENGE
Tell the world what True Beauty really means!
Just shoot a 90-second video describing what’s truly beautiful to you—your friends, your family, your world, your favorite book, yourself!

Load your video on YouTube and you could win great prizes, including a cool iPod Touch! PLUS, Justina will donate $10 for every uploaded video (up to $1,000) to Global Surgical Outreach to help fund facial surgeries for kids in the third world.
