Rest In Peace Michael Jackson

The most iconic artist of our generation has passed. Michael Jackson was always one of my favorite artists, and will always hold a place in my heart.



I'm at a loss for words right now. The King of Pop is dead. Long live the King of Pop.

Rest In Peace Farrah Fawcett

She was way more than just iconic good looks. Farrah Fawcett will be missed.
