    Damn, I tried my hardest not to laugh considering what this post is about but as they say the funniest jokes are ones that speak the truth…

    Damn! I heard about this earlier.

    Damn!!!!!!

  • Britchick91!

    sad he was very talented

  • BastetsMeow

    Oh man! McQueen was such a talented, gifted designer. He was an original. I brought one of his tote bags from Barney’s ages ago. It was a thick, deerskin tote/hobo bag. The leather was unbelievably amazing. It was the type of bag only supermodels would wear. I still get compliments on it whenever I wear it.

    They said his mom just died on Feb. 2 this year. Maybe her death was too much for him to handle…..

    He will be missed.

  • And the Truth Is…

    @ Bg (George Washington Carver)… I concur.

    OH AND THE REASON WHY PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY ARE SO UNHAPPY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE ONLY SEE THEIR WORTH IN WHAT THEY PRODUCE THAT SEASON OR HOW THEY LOOK INSTEAD OF A HUMAN BEING!

  • JC ‘o Bklyn

    Not just the talented ones die young, also those without talent go early; it’s just that many of those with exceptional talent are famous, so when they die they make the 6 o’clock news.

    @NiQ,

    The man was obviously distraught over losing his mother. He was an enourmous talent and will truly be missed.

    But on another note dear, it’s not the whites that are killing thesmselves over “colors”. So before you chalk up all whites as dillusional, perhaps you should look into your own community and the senseless killings that occur on a daily basis.

  • Just a thought

    R.I.P
    He was at the peak of success and so talented. His edgy style was one of the catalyst for the currently “hard&funky” trends we currently see; this NY Fashion Week will be quite disheartening.

  • Sharie

    R.I.P McQueen- may u find peace in death that you couldn’t in life….

  • Mixed

    HIS MOTHER DIED LAST WEEK APPARENTLY HE COULDN’T STAND THE GRIEF IT HAS NOTHING TOO DO WITH HIM BEING A TROUBLED SOUL SMDH @ PPL ASSUMING STOP IT RIP ALEXANDER

  • ghazali

    @monique, he definitely was not and is not an idiot. God have mercy on him. Grief is a violent and painful emotion, that can make you do unimaginable things. I totally understand that. This is just too tragic, God bless him, his mother and their family.

    ***********************

    um…he grew up in the projects…..

    he probably felt really alone. he was probably getting stoned…moms gone….no one else truly loved him he probably thought, gucci coulda been on his back, who knos? and who cares? he is somewhere else being great now with his loved ones who passed before him and i hope he’s loving it.

  • http://MOREACES aaLIYAH

    how sad….why does everything always have to be about white and black… all the same things happen all dday long in the world to people of all colors,backgrounds,rich or poor.From street gangs to mafia gangs or even people in the government…people white and black and everything in the middle get depressed,commit sucide,and are unhappy with life…these emotions do not discriminate…
