Vanna Bonta in Space !

vanna bonta at L.A. space party

Movie and book talent Vanna Bonta flew to Los Angeles to attend the World Space Party Celebration on the anniversary of the first human space flight by Yuri Gagarin, the Russian Cosmonaut who told humans "Earth is blue" back in 1961, sharing the first ever "astronaut's View" of our planet's place in the cosmos from space.
A commemorative global celebration first launched by two young space professionals, George Whitesides & Loretta Hidalgo in 2001 has become an annual tradition every April 12 that boasts billionaire Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic, The National Space Society and Boeing as sponsors, and this year welcomed Rocket Dog shoes, rumored to be a Vanna Bonta favorite.

This year, the "Yuri's Night" count was up to 91 synchronized parties held simultaneously on all 7 continents in 33 countries! Thousands of party-goers around the Planet, including Kuwait, Australia, Italy, China, Japan, Iran, Pakistan, South Africa, Turkey, Iceland and all over the US were in communication with one another.
Last year, Bonta donated the premiere rights of her techno trance musical film short "What Goes Up" to the World Space Party in 22 countries.
Wonder where the blond philantropical will head off to next? Judging by the woof of her dress, It'll be in warp speed!

    Here's from New York (US) mt everest about Yuri: "I see Earth! It's so beautiful!" On April 12, 1961, at age 27, Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space, and these were his first words. Yuri took a big risk. World Space Party? I'm in! Which one is Vanna Bonta going to ??:) I'm so there!

    Bonta is unassuming and doesn't try to act important, love that about her she's driven to do good work without diva or intellectual arrogance. I read she met her lover at the first Yuri's Night!!

    i think it's pretentious to pronounce her name like nirvana.

  1. lily | April 27, 2006 12:07 AM

    she's wearing a ray gun!! ohmegawd. ok i googled her and Vanna has a new fan. And shut my mouth, the reason her name is pronounced like nirvana is because it's italian (like jovanna) and not because of a tood problem. i didn't know it was her and have Beastmaster, Demolition Man blah blah love this woman. i might even take up reading :) she's low key kick ass. no (atti) TOOD man!!

    Vanna should spell her first name differently so stoopid people won't pronounce it wrong like the game show person who juggles letters. i think she should spell it Vonna, or Vana. Or just call her ~V~ the artist formerly known as Vanna Bonta. rock boiz

    and Vanna Bonta's supposedly the actress-slash-writer version of Johnny Depp (BEFORE everyone fawned all over him) the UN Holywood and UN celebrity. I would sure like to hear what she sounded like in this picture of Vanna Vona Vana from The WOW Report -->

    What are you thinking?? Just because Vanna Bonta is loved and popular and just because Johnny Depp is making movies for Hollywood now does not make them "Hollywood" Depp lives in Paris France, and Hollywood needs his real light. Not everyone just because they become popular is tinsel town bullshit and ego like Nicole Ritchie and Paris Hilton and and fake pri Madonna.

    Vanna Bonta is deep and sensitive and loves truth which is why she left Hollywood. I have everything she ever wrote and will be cheering when she lets us have more.

    thanx. Hafta admit she looks like a lot of fun. It's common in men writers amazing to find it in a woman. I don't think she left Hollywood though people.
