Oh, Madge (T_T). I remember when you two went to the Grammy's together. And this message from Madonna's manager Guy Oseary's Twitter:

The moment that never happened: A month ago Madonna told me she wanted to do a surprise performance at one of michael Jackson's uk shows..

"I can't stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been dealing with some private issues, but I have a lot of posts in the future. Just now I finished two hours uploading photos from my cellphone. My friend TF and I visited the Michael Jackson Exhibition this afternoon. I don't know how to explain the experience. I was awestruck, baffled, excited, and scared at the same time.

With everything we've heard about Michael Jackson, we actually don't know anything about the opulence in which he lived. Just walking around the things he purchased and touched gives you some insight into his psyche. And my conclusion - he's even more of a puzzle to me now then before.

Some common themes I saw among his stuff - lots of creepy mannequins of old people (butlers, maid, neighbors) like old cast-offs from Disneyland. Speaking Disney, he has a large collection of Disney memorabilia - mostly containing themes of youth and coming of age (Peter Pan, Pinnochio). He has no modern taste in furniture; rather it's like Rococo threw up in his living room. He loves shiny, sparkly, and ornate things. He's obsessed with his own image (duh).

I took a ton of photos, but forgot my real camera. TF and I will be returning next week with a proper camera to document everything. In the meantime, enjoy the crappy photos and if you live in LA, check out this exhibit.
