Another One Bites The Dust

Goodbye Billy Mays!


Billy Mays, the voice and energetic spokesperson of products such as oxy clean and orange glow has passed away.

They say it comes in 3's but in the last 2 months we've lost more than that...
Bea Arthur (Thank you for being our friend!)

David Carradine (Among many many other things, thanks for giving us Kill Bill)
Ed Mc Mahon (Heeeeeeeeeere's Johnny!)
Farrah Fawcett (Forever our angel!)
Michael Jackson (King of pop!)
Danny Gans (Among Vegas' finest!)
and now Billy Mays!


While there is an autopsy planned to explain his sudden passing, the circumstances surrounding his death logically (to me) point to a concussion. Mays was on a plane that had a bumpy landing and fell victim to head trauma. He told his wife he wasn't feeling well and went to sleep and unfortunately never woke up again.


What is going on around here? The sudden rise in celebrity deaths is causing me to have serious anxiety issues. While I know that people die daily I guess the sudden constant reminder has been too much to bear. It doesn't help that 30 went from being the new 20 to the new 50 when I realized that there isn't much space between 30 and 60 much less 30 and 50.
Although it's inevitable that we will all go, please everyone stay safe and know that you are all on my mind!

2 in 1 week.

This week has been a fairly tragic week in the celebrity world. We've lost two icons. Earlier this week we had to say goodbye to Johnny Carson's sidekick or for those of us who grew up in the 80's the host of Star Search Ed Mc mahon.



and today I am sorry to say that we must now say goodbye to the beautiful Farrah Fawcett!



May they both find peace in the world that lies on the other side and their families find comfort in knowing what both of these stars touched many lives during their time here on Earth.
