Goodness. Today is not a good day. My mother in law lost 2 friends (one from covid) yesterday. It's a heavy time indeed.

I can't believe both Meat Loaf and Louie Anderson have passed away within a day of each other. I knew both in my childhood: I listened to Meat Loaf songs with my dad (RIP) and he had a short role as the bus driver in the Spice Girls movie "Spice World, which I watched over and over so he's forever in my mind as the bus driver. I also loveddd Louie Anderson as a kid. He was my favorite comedian and he's still my favorite host of Family Feud.
We're only 21 days into 2022 and we've already lost so many good people. So sad.

Wow! So many deaths all at once!
RIP Louie Anderson! I so enjoyed his work!
Much gratitude to Thich Nhat Hahn for the wisdom and grace he shared with so many of us!

Don Wilson passed away this weekend at the age of 88. He was one of the founding members & rhythm guitar player for The Ventures. He was actually still with the band, still playing guitar & still on the road all these years later. They band charted their 1st single back in 1960, so he had a long & productive career & life.

It's been a long hard struggle to get people and the media to use the term died by suicide instead of committed suicide. People don't commit cancer. They die from cancer. People don't commit ALS, they die from ALS. People commit larceny. They commit burglary Those are crimes. Suicide is not a crime. It is the end result of a sometimes-fatal disease, called mental illness. People die by suicide. People Magazine handled this sad story by using the term died by suicide. Which was a surprise. It does matter to the family. He didn't do anything wrong.

I think a lot of the time, the incorrect wording happens because it's the terminology people have always heard, and they don't understand the impact. So it's important for people like you to speak up and spread awareness so that when people know better, they can do better. You're a fantastic advocate and I'm glad you speak up like you do!

Fashion designer Peter Hidalgo has died, aged 53.
The fashionista - who dressed a whole host of stars including Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and Usher - was found dead at the homeless shelter he was living in.Marion Greenberg, his publicist confirmed the news of his passing on 17 January but did not specify a cause of death.
The Most Beautiful Women In Each Decade Revealed Ad Ad Tip Parents The Most Beautiful Women In Each Decade Revealed Peter's former boss Miguel Adrover revealed he knew “he was not feeling well” but found it hard to keep in contact with him.
He told WWD: "I know he was not feeling well. It was really hard to get in touch with him.”
The 56-year-old designer admitted to being “devastated” about Peter’s death and explained he was trying to convince him to seek refuge in his hometown in the Dominican Republic.
Miguel said: "I would tell him all the time, 'Peter, love, you should move back to Santo Domingo, because you have your family.’
"Also, you know how New York is. If you don't have money, it is really a hard city to survive. He was not young either. I was devastated."
In 2010, Peter was the joint winner of the Fashion Group International’s ‘Rising Star’ Award.
Notable outfits he designed included Usher’s suit to the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards and Nicki Minaj’s outfit for her performance at the 2014 European Music Awards. In addition, he often styled Kanye West.
In 2019, Peter worked with artist David La Salle and AS IF magazine to create a line of cocktail dresses with La Salle’s art printed on them, three of which were modelled in the magazine by Scarlett Johansson.
The AS IF’s editor-in-chief, Tatijana Shoan praised his “abundant talent” and his personality.
She said: ”I will always treasure Peter’s commitment to excellence, his excellent taste, his unmatched loyalty, kindness, laugh, the sparkle in his eyes and his abundant talent."
A memorial is being planned to take place in the Spring and he is survived by his mother and siblings, whose identities have not been made public.

This makes me want to cry. He was such a talented man, and while I realize a reversal of fortune can happen to anyone how did he end up in a shelter? Could no one help him?

I was shocked when I read about it. It's not as if hes been out of the scene for years. I think there's a clue in the fact he was hard to track down-perhaps mental illness? And I'm with you why didn't all the people he was surrounded by step in?

Not sure if anyone else remembers her from AGT, but she was a sweet celebrity in her own right. Poor thing.

Rest in Peace, Nightbirde.
I don't remember her (I don't watch much AGT) but I was scrolling through TikTok this morning and the video of her that is now circulating everywhere showed up on my FYP. I watched it and it broke my heart, she had the kindest soul. I'm so sorry. Cancer truly is a bitch!

Gary Brooker passed away at the age of 76. If you don't recall the name you may remember the voice. He was the lead singer of Procol Harum. He is the guy that wrote & sang Whiter Shade Of Pale. And so, another voice from my youth has been silenced. RIP Mr. Brooker.

My husband really loved the "grunge" scene and Mark was a big part of it. He was only 57 but had a life of misadventures with substance abuse.

I was so sad to hear about Mark, because a lot of performers from my early adulthood are no longer here. I can't even begin to imagine how Eddie Vedder is feeling right now.

My husband is about 5 years younger so he was really of that generation. I wasn't as familiar with the whole scene, but I did love Chris Cornell.
