R.I.P., Farrah.

[segnung]

I developed a crush on her when I was in middle school. Of course, I didn't recognize it as such at that point, I just knew she was yet another blonde woman who made me feel all funny (Daryl Hannah, Kate Capshaw, and Kim Basinger were the others). It was around the time she was painting using her body was the brush, and then subsequently posed in Playboy.

I've watched Saturn 3 so many times for her:

Not even Rex Reed/Raquel Welch could resist her, as seen in Myra Breckinridge:

And of course, Logan's Run (complete with the perfection of young Michael York):

Farrah Fawcett, to me, was the embodiment of the '70s female (her male counterpart would most certainly be Burt Reynolds). In that entire decade, no one could top her.

I can never approve of Ryan O'Neal, but he has redeemed himself somewhat by standing by her throughout this entire ordeal.

Poor pretty ladyyyyy. I feel like Michael Jackson's death is far less important. Poor dear.

As do I. Now Michael was a huge part of my childhood and forever changed the music industry, but Farrah was something else to me. TVLand had their own tribute with two seminal Charlie's Angels episodes, and though she may not be getting the media spotlight like Michael, I'm glad for that. His kids are already in a frightening custody battle and he left behind a mountain of debt, among other things. Farrah's family is not being hounded, thankfully, and she's able to rest in peace.

Even in death, MJ is still a circus spectacle.
