Such a talented designer. Such a tragedy. We hope wherever you are now you’re resting peacefully with your mum. McQueen was apparently distraught after his mother passed away recently.

Now, is it just me or is twittering about someone’s death, saying RIP, etc. it seems to me in bad taste? You may ask what’s the diff b/n that and a blog? Well, I don’t know but when Kim Kardashian and Tyra are twittering up a storm about it, it just seems wrong. Like everyone is trying to get a piece of the drama. It goes hand in hand with announcing death via Facebook status updates. Gross.

What are your thoughts?
