Every media avenue possible is talking about the death of Michael Jackson. There was a contest out there to his fan base to win tickets to his memorial. Does anyone else see an issue with that sentence or is it just me? I know he was popular in some circles, and I know those circles will miss him...but where does society draw the line? A 'contest' to celebrate someone's death. Hmmm. The city of Los Angeles set up a Web site to allow fans to contribute money to help the city pay for the memorial, which was estimated to cost $1.5 million to $4 million.Another popular star also lost her life on June 25th. Where's the attention by the media for her? Who is sending her flowers? Who wants to go to her memorial? Unfortunately, her death was overshadowed by Michael's.
Farrah Fawcett was an icon in her own right. She was diagnosed with cancer in 2006 and faced a strenuous, painful battle that resulted in her untimely death. Her zest for life and unending spirit kept her going far longer than most would have. The link below takes you to a blog showcasing the documentary that Farrah and her friend help put together to show others her story. I encourage you all to watch - the documentary is available in its entirety, via 11 different parts. It's a love story. It's an example of bravery, unending faith, and a true perserverence to live.

Today, on this "MJ Memorial day", I celebrate Farrah.

You know they were going to SELL tickets to the memorial, but some genius decided that might not be such a good idea - ya think??
I understand the man was an icon, but c'mon he was a freak! Do we really need to be bombared with all this propaganda about what a wonderful, loving father he was and what a happy, normal family he came from? What malarky! I am also sending my prayers to the family of Farrah Fawcett, and to the family of Ed McMahon and to any non-celebrity who lost a loved one recently.
