No that’s not a typo in the headline. Cher (as in, well, Cher) just launched a gelato called … wait for it … Cherlato.

Click here to see it for yourself. I even bought the t-shirt!

It’s not available everywhere yet … it’s being sold through mobile units traveling from city to city. San Diego to LA, etc. Just another extension of the Cher brand. Think of it as gelato after love.

And talk about brand extensions and love, Cher also just recently announced a new Christmas album (or “release” as they say today) coming in October. It’s her first Christmas album, believe it or not. I believe in life after love.

It’s filled with some duets, some solo classics, and some original material. Perhaps it’s in Santa’s kiss. Gypsies, tramps, and elves. I got you, Santa.

For the fun of it, here’s my all time favorite Cher song … the remix of “One by One” from the mid-1990’s..

That song was a huge club hit right around the time that I came out. It’s my first recollection of dancing at a gay club in New York, and it brought so much joy to me at a very scary and uncertain time … a liberating feeling, brought by Cher! I’ll never forget it. I was going through a lot of tough times in those years, and it was moments like “One by One” that gave me courage, believe it or not!

Back to Cherlato. Wonderful idea. Wonder what’s next.

What’s your experience? JIM
