Farrah Fawcett...she picked the wrong day...

[goejavin]

I felt compelled to at least give some due to the passing of one of my childhood icons...Farrah Fawcett, who unfortunatly died the same day as Michael Jackson and has basically been swept under the rug.

For me, as a gay 15 yr old, watching Farrah, boobs exposed, nipples erect, bouncing away as she chased all those bad men was the closest I ever came to feeling straight. I thought she would be my savior and at that time I so desperately wanted to not feel how I felt about other boys. But as much as I tried, Farrah wasnt the one, but she was the one I dressed as for Halloween the next couple years and she was my cover to hide the fact I "felt" gay...I mean who would ever suspect with all those sexy posters hanging on my wall!!! She was there every night for me, she comforted me, she listened to me..and as a 15 yr old struggling gay teen, she was a godsend.

So, Farrah, Rest In Peace and may your death bring even more recognition and urgency for the need to cure cancer.

I agree with you. How tragic was that for her death to get swept away following Michael Jackson's death. I was a big Farah fan growing up!

That was exactly my first thought about MJ's death - "Way to steal Farrah's thunder, Michael."
And I wasn't even a fan of Farrah Fawcett (I liked her in general, but never watched Charlie's Angels or anything else with her), it just reminded me of Lady Di's death overshadowing Mother Teresa.

yeah such a shame, I do remember her mostly cos of her role in charlie's angels since i like that series so much, never got to really watch the whole thing since it was on air when i was either too young or not even born but the concept was original back then and it remained...and it kept her as an icon for her hair and sexyness.
Have u noticed how famous people dies in groups of 3? Someone is always shadowing someone else then... RIP Farrah
