Your welcome.

I'm really hoping for the best. I'm just hearing nothing but bleak news.

This is so horrible! He's only 63...

It's so depressing to think that many of our fashion inovators, like Anna Piaggi, Karl Lagerfeld, and Yves Saint Laurent, will pass in the relatively soon future....

We should still hope for the best though as long as possible.
