My parents are hella Christian and I wasn't allowed to listen to secular music until I was in middle school. So the first time I really fell in love with Michael Jackson was when I--on a whim--decided to rent some VHS tapes of his videos/performances. I couldn't believe how cool they were!
Then in 2001 I watched the Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary Celebration and seeing him perform alongside pop performers like Britney and Usher made me realize how truly magical he is and what a better performer he is than preeetty much anyone else. That was also the night I started learning how to moonwalk.
In 2003 I did a photoshoot with a Michael Jackson temporary tattoo on. I considered getting a real one, but I think it'll be awhile before I get another tattoo.
Just the other day I was organizing a lot of my paper/art and stuff and found this newspaper collage I had done of Michael Jackson when I took Design/Color in college. It's of one of my favorite pictures of Michael! I am so sad he's gone and part of me believes he's faking his death.
I always hoped he'd outlive me!
I'm currently ripping Michael Jackson HIStory cd set onto my computer. Today is a day for watching Michael Jackson HIStory DVD and remembering how inspirational MJ is. Perhaps I will bedazzle a glove?
What's your favorite Michael Jackson song? Mine is probably Stranger in Moscow
What's your favorite Michael Jackson video? Smooth Criminal? Maybe? It's almost impossible to claim just one favorite!
<3 Love you MJ! <3

A part of me hopes he is faking it as well - i just can't believe it !
All the mockery and dissing aside I heard today, I just can't believe he's gone !
I grew up listening to his music, Thriller gave me a heart-attack the first time i watched it haha.
My favorite songs of his must be Liberian Girl and They don't care about us.
Thanks for the post sweetie !
mesha! Omg! I forgot about Liberian Girl! That is one of my fave vids (:
(Excuse my typos). Great post and fabbbb pic!! Love your creative vibe, that collage is amazing. I grew up listening to the Jackson 5 (Never Can Say Goodbye) is one of my fave songs ever.
"And when the grove is dead and gone...
yeah, you know that love survives...
so we can rock forever..." - Michael Jackson

Thriller is definitely my fave video!
