R.I.P. Carrie Fisher and now Debbie Reynolds :(

[MrSquished]

I have a special affinity to Carrie Fisher, also being bi-polar. That cost me my last relationship which was quite amazing for me. The key there were mixed episodes, those combining mania with depression. All cause I couldn't afford a certain drug that worked for me. That drug was over $1K a month without insurance, and $15 with. Talk about a bummer. Bi-polar can be invigorating as far as crazy manic productive phases go but the highs are too high and the lows are too low.

Great Picture. Two of my favorite sci-fi entertainers. Maybe together in a galaxy near you.

The politically-correct Internet SJW crew is already jumping on people to prevent them from saying anything remotely nice:

Steve Martin shamed into deleting Carrie Fisher tribute tweet

When I was a young man, Carrie Fisher she was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. She turned out to be witty and bright as well.

Backlash to an industry where you are literally hired & paid based on your looks? Really? Seriously? I feel bad for Steve, he should have left it up. It's okay to have and to express your opinion in America. Of course, it didn't stop there:

Cinnabon apologizes for Carrie Fisher tweet

Really? She was literally famous for her cinnamon-roll hairstyle in Star Wars. She's probably up there laughing at this picture right now. #cupcakenation

 

[OutHouse]

the steve martin post was ok. he knew her personally and meant no disrespect. the cinnabon post was a bullshit marketing fail and deserved the backlash.

Sure it was trite, but come on, she was famous for her hairstyle from the SW movies. I don't think it was inappropriate. And coming from an art background, I appreciated the image.

The question is, are companies not allowed to pay tribute to famous people now, even if it's obvious marketing? I don't feel like it was done in poor taste. She & her hair are cultural icons.

Carrie Fisher did a one woman play in Southern California where she would wear a Leia bun wig. I won that wig in a charity auction after bidding an insane amount.

Curious.how much did you pay?

IIRC, the "play" was her one woman show Wishing Drinking. She donated the wig to a silent auction for a school charity in Pasadena. I think I bid $500+ for it and since there were no other Star Wars fans in there, the next closest bid was like $125.

I still have it in my closest. It's one of those, "what the heck am I supposed to do with this" kind of items.

Authentic Leia buns? Bet you can get a hell of a lot more than half a grand for it if you were to Ebay it today.
