      We must all know SOMEONE or several SOMEONES who were given an early death sentence, due to whatever cause there can be! Say at 31 like Minnie Ripperton, 47 like Judy Garland, etc. I had a girl friend who died at 49, an ex-boyfriend at 51! My mother died at 54 due to cancer!

    I remember the first time I saw her, when she won Miss America. Her win was the biggest topic of conversation the next day back in school. I also saw her in person in New York City about 17 years ago. She was shooting in the area and was just coming out of her trailer. She was more striking in person than I’d expected. As we were walking by, it took me several seconds to realize who she was. She saw me beginning to recognize her, gave me and my son a bright, friendly smile and waved at us. My mouth dropped open at first, then I got myself together, smiled and waved back. I’m sure she was trying hard not to laugh at me. I don’t know about anyone else, but I still love her and love seeing her. Vanessa is still such a beauty and seems to redefine beautiful at every age.

      I don't know you, but I'm sorry for your loss, and my heart 💔 breaks for you. When Vanessa Williams says, "it's a privilege to get older," trust and believe she was telling the truth! My biological father also passed away young, age 31, from colon cancer. Without him getting me here and keeping me breathing until he took his final breath, there's no way I'd have gotten as far as I have now.

      @calisongbird Год назад

      @@deedebdoo Technically, Miss Vanessa Williams had knowingly violated the Miss America rules on 2 counts: 1) she knew when she entered and signed their contract that she had the very explicit pornographic photos in her past (not just “nude,” they were depictions of her having oral sex with another woman, still viewable online) and 2) she knew she’d had an abortion in her teens, and the pageant required contestants to “never have been pregnant.” Among a long list of other sexist requirements.
      However, those rules were misogynistic and dumb anyway. Good for her for proving that shit doesn’t matter one bit as to what a woman is worth or what she can accomplish in life. True class. 👍🏼

      Technically, Vanessa Williams had knowingly violated the Miss America rules on 2 counts: 1) she knew when she entered and signed their contract that she had the very explicit pornographic photos in her past (not just “nude,” they were depictions of her having oral sex with another woman, still viewable online) and 2) she knew she’d had an abortion in her teens, and the pageant required contestants to “never have been pregnant.” Among a long list of other sexist requirements.
      However, those rules were misogynistic and dumb anyway. Good for her for proving that shit doesn’t matter one bit as to what a woman is worth or what she can accomplish in life. True class. 👍🏼
