God knows I am no fashion maven rather the reverse, but news and alarms of Alexander McQueen’s awesome vision had made its way even to dorky tshirt-and-Levis-and-farmboots land where I live. I’m slammed and silenced by his death. I can’t say it any better than Jennifer Michael Hecht:

Know that the rest of us know that among the faces we have met there are some right now who can barely take another minute of the pain and uncertainty. And we are in the room with you, going from one moment to the next, in whatever condition you manage to do it. Sobbing and useless is great! Sobbing and useless is a million times better than dead. A billion times. Thank you for choosing sobbing and useless over dead.

Stay safe.
