Farah Fawcett passed away due to cancer. The lady messed up my world but I still admire her. See, Farah was a little younger than my mother. When that famous poster came out, she and my mom looked quite similar. I won’t lie, my mother is beautiful. Always has been. But to see someone so hot and realize the similarities with mom? Yeah… didn’t work for me.
And she died of cancer. Mom has cancer now. I seem to recall Farah, in spite of all the attempts to make her into something evil and sullied (why did she really leave Charlie’s Angels again?) was a lady with class.
And so I was thinking about that era and serendipity reared its head again. A friend today just reminded me of another event from that early 80s heyday: when a couple of buddies and I managed to sneak into Pink Floyd’s The Wall. I forgot what an interesting, painful movie that was. For some reason, it all seems connected.
And I know the other “big” celebrity event from yesterday that means little to me. I do not care to mourn a child molester.
‘Tis always a shame to lose an icon… whether in a beautiful, graceful woman, or a talented performer. True he was twisted in later years-we all have our demons. His talent, though, cannot be denied. I mourn the music and the performance (and perhaps some of my youth that has passed on.)
Prayers for your mother… We need more beautiful, classy ladies in this world.
I’m thinking that loss is loss, but I won’t miss MJ at all. He was nothing to me on any level. FF at least was what every teenage girl wanted to be and every teenage boy simply wanted. She battled bravely and I will miss her, she was a class act.
I never saw The Wall, but now I want to.
God Bless your mum.
Indeed a classy lady gone much too young.
MJ?…phhhttt!
Prayers for your mom.
Losing FF was like losing a piece of my childhood. Same goes for Ed McMahon.
As for Michael Jackson, there is a special place in hell reserved for people like him.
The Wall was one of the most incredible movies I’ve seen. I don’t think I can articulate all the reasons I like it.
Still praying for your mom. You know how to reach me if you need to.
FF was the first crush my brother had. He was turning 10, when celebrating his birthday, it was all about her. Fortunately for him, she looked nothing like my mother, who is beautiful like yours, but looks like Liz Taylor. I was sad to hear of her passing… it was a part of my childhood that is gone. I was sad for how little privacy she was given.
Cancer is ruling my life right now, everyone around me has it. Prayers for your Mom.
