Alexander McQueen RIP

[Josh]

Alexander McQueen of Givenchy fame passed on today at the age of 40, allegedly having taken his own life. I've heard him called the enfant terrible of the fashion world and despite my anti-fashion habits, the respect I have for that sort of vision is massive. He was also fond of pearls and even bought an amazing lot from me years ago. Here's the link if anyone wants to have a peek. http://tinyurl.com/y8t95lg
RIP Mr. McQueen.

We posted at the same time. Perhaps the threads can be combined. Truly sad.

I just went to the article and saw that it had been modified to omit my name as owner of Anapa Pearl (which I no longer am). Anapa Pearl is in Raiatea and the grafting house is the one that Pearl Professor uses as a Twitter profile pic. http://tinyurl.com/ydvx5qd

What do they say about great minds (or at least freaky ones)?

Lee merits two threads, for sure!

He was an astonishing talent; it is hard to estimate how deeply his absence will manifest.

Josh - I did not know the connection to your work - glad you posted the information.
