The Execution of Lady Jane Grey by Delaroche, 1833.
I think that Frida looks absolutely stunning in this photo.

Lisa Bonet is one of my childhood heroes. She and Cree Summer showed me that it was acceptable to be black and eccentric.

Alexander McQueen Commits Suicide -
Alexander McQueen was found dead at the age of 40, just three years after his close friend, Isabella Blow – who plucked him from obscurity and helped him become a star – killed herself.
I am so sad for so many different reasons. Because he was an immensely talented person who inspired me as a teenager. Because this is suicide. Because I have fought that fight and will probably fight it forever. Because so many wonderful creative people are afflicted with this blight and they become lost to us. Because depression and suicide are still taboo.
Vale Lee McQueen.
my first thoughts were of isabella blow. so sad.
Those were my thoughts as well. In only a few years the world has lost two British icons.
