Lee Alexander McQueen was a British designer and a force in the fashion industry. He's won countless awards, clothed everyone from Target shoppers to Celebrities to the First Lady of the United States.
It was announced earlier today that he took his own life by hanging himself, only days after his mothers passing.
His passing comes just days before London and New York fashion weeks were to begin.
Sad, sad, sad.
Suicide is not a way out. If you're going through a tough time and need someone to talk to know you're never alone. Speak out.
This is a pretty awesome interview with GaGa and Cyndi Lauper on Good Morning America.
They're there to talk about the Viva Glam campaign with Mac Makeup that they're working with. Cyndi's been at it forever, but GaGa is just getting started with them.
It's a pretty good interview.
And I have to say... it is SO NICE to see artists really working for a cause. GaGa's only been around for two years or so and she's already working it out like someone who's been in the business for years. She knows she's got attention and instead of hawking some stupid shit she's talking about women and AIDS.
I love her.
And because she didn't hawk, I'll do it for her.
GaGa is selling t-shirts on her website for Haiti relief. Check those out here.
She's also selling some sick headphones with Beats called Heart Beats... they'd be a pretty special gift for a loved one on Valentines Day. Here they are. They come in a few different colors and actually consist of state of the art sound technology. They're comparable to Bose.
She's also got tickets to another leg of her US tour going on sale soon.
And don't forget to pick up the deluxe edition of The Fame called The Fame Monster. It has all 8 of her new songs on it plus the original The Fame album.
She was also cool enough to release The Fame Monster as its own CD just in case you already owned The Fame (other artists DON'T do this, they want you to have to re-buy everything, GaGa gets that all her fans have to work for their money) at $7.99. It's 8 tracks long and contains a little art photo booklet.
And I can't even begin to speak of all the amazing things Lauper is up to. Check out her official website CyndiLauper.com to see all the great stuff she's up to with Mac, True Colors, and more.

Any step closer, even a tiny one... is a leap to someone.
A good friend recently introduced me to Hipsterrunoff.com where they post some pretty interesting information and some fairly radical ideas... and it's pretty fantastic.
Here we have a chart, which they say is actually factual and true, of SAT scores VS choices in music.
It's pretty interesting. My taste in music is all over the place, what does that mean? I got a 1200 on my SAT's (I know... I could have done better, but frankly I didn't care), so does that mean I can like everything below my score? I'm a HUGE fan of Jazz, but I also love Guster and Ben Folds...
