Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett's talent was undeniable, but it is a real sense of style that makes them one of the last of dying breed: a genuine celebrity fashion icon.Seconds after we found out about Charlie's angel of death, twitter and Facebook come alive with memories of fine feathered hair and perfect white teeth in the 1970's beauty.
Death of the King of pop music was still steeped in style. Shrines in the single sparkling white gloves or Fedora have popped everywhere from Jackson's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at the theater "Apollo" in New York in a family of Gary, Ind., Estates.
"They represent a huge part of our culture," said David Baron, chair of psychiatry department of Temple University School of Medicine. "They were visual symbols of generation. It was more than what they did was, we connected with them."
Jackson and Fawcett were serene scenes of my childhood. Last week, their images were recorded in my eyes.
Then it was much harder to get our hands celebrity images - and even harder to get pictures of stars black - yes posters of Michael Jackson dressed in all white with a yellow button-up-West "was cherished almost to the point of worship.
