Joan Rivers

I know this is a little bit late, but I need to bring this topic up. Joan Rivers (1933-2014) made a big impact on my life, indirectly. I used to be very carefree about the fashion choices that I made in my early years. Now, I keep on top of the latest trends, and keep myself very forward. To me, Joan was somebody that I loved to watch every Friday on Fashion Police. I was amazed at the fact that she had the guts to say what other people didn't want to say. I also loved the fact that she had the drive, right up to the end. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of the people that got to watch Joan with Johnny Carson, and the early days; but she still amazed me. I was able to let somebody into my life that I found genuinely funny, and I didn't want to see her go. I watched the downhill (and uphill) spiral from the day she went to Mt. Sinai. The day she died, I literally bawled my eyes out. I didn't know that somebody could have that big of an impact on me, and the world. Yes, people have their opinions about her, but I was able to see her as just another human, except she was funny as heck. She would have me roaring over the absurd comments over absurd things. I feel for those around the world. A dear family friend, and co-worker of my mother's got the opportunity to meet Joan. I feel horrible for the people like him who actually met her, and then hearing she passed.

Have fun fashion-policing the streets of heaven.
