considering my obsession with superstitions, nirvana and conversely kurt cobain i had already planned to post and inform the world (my select readers ha) of the "curse of 27". but in light of recent events, now seems a more fitting time to post.
RIP amy winehouse and love to her family and friends. my mum text me the other morning to inform me of amy's death and immediately thought "i bet she is 27" (although, no one would have had any clue as to what i was on about). sure enough she was 27. she is now eligible (i really don't think that is the appropriate word to use) to join the exclusive, talented, missed, mourned and wonderful "forever 27 club".
the curse of 27, also known as the forever 27 club, is basically a group of famous musicians that have passed at the young age of 27. most notably Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain. there is also an extensive list of (not as famous) other musicians that too have died at the age. (i had actually discussed this with someone a few weeks ago but predicted that i unfortunately though gaga would be next, then again ...). here is a superb post about it from recent.
i thought i'd leave you with more than just a cliched quote ending, but with the beautiful and last words of kurt cobain; up until a few days ago the most recent member of club 27. i'm sure amy would be tickled ... to see the worldwide support she had/has.
a minute out of your time to experience my hero and how proud i am of him (and the rest of the foos). x. "and this is for kurt" who else but dave grohl would be tickled. yeow!
ps - this, this and this are further (candid) evidence to support my claim.
following on from our girl courtney and her epic score with ol' kurt ... i give you THIS. swoon. (hmm, i have never used that term before so lets hope it goes down well). forget my handbag fettish, delish boys with kittens are my kryptonite.
if you like that then check out cute boys with cats. dear, lord it is genius. yum. (KP's alter-ego) kitty purry would be tickled.
so the jokes spread like wild-fire last friday surrounding rebecca black, friday and friday the 13th (also known as black friday) - you do the math. every friday the 13th i get super-excited just reminiscing of all the (primarily spooky) times with my crazy beautiful friend sharlit. at the age of 10 we were fixated on the friday the 13th series (ALL of them) - yes, i too wonder wtf we were up to.
anyway, impromptu and spontaneous actions led me to channel my inner courtney love and rock the kinderwhore look for a (very under-costumed) 90s party. it came to my attention that it is a feat to be recognised as courtney love, i must say. had to take her to extremes - perhaps almost taking the piss a bit? DG would love me for that.
the courtney look; she wore a tiara on numerous occasions. so to all y'all who thought i was a crazy mofo wearing a tiara as c-love, booyah!
"crash and burn" the courtney coma? (faux - so chill).
but the best thing about embodying ms love was living the fantasy of being married to this incredible human; kurt cobain.
i tried to think of a link between the two; friday 13th and courtney love, but i drew a blank. therefore i can't decide who would be tickled; c-love, dave or jason voorhees. i'mma say JASON would be tickled ... but regardless (or maybe even more so) next friday 13th, watch your back.
