Braindance, when my mum was cremated we played Great Balls of Fire – she would have laughed her head off at that, and she was a massive rock ‘n’ roll fan. We all had a wee chuckle.

When I die, I would like everybody to come in fancy dress, no black allowed.

And the song I would like played as they wheel me into the fire is Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead by the Munchkins from the Wizard Of Oz.

Or maybe Should I Stay Or Should I go by The Clash.
Not Going Underground by the Jam though because I am going up in smoke.

Aja and Dru, I like your discussion, I must jump in to say that when I am dead, I won’t have a funeral because it always semmed stupid to me and I won’t give a shit because I will be dead. Also I unfortunately knew a few people that passed away a few years ago . Some of them were only acquaintances. I didn’t attend any funerals because I am just not interested in the whole spectacle and it seemed like some people were seizing the opportunity for false grief. I seriously hate that shit.

^’weird as shit’ is about right, your acquaintance sounds like she’s seizing the opportunity to make something all about her- which is sucky. I wouldn’t want someone like that at my funeral either!
Daul would probably laugh at Sea, you’re right. I suppose the reason why so many people feel upset about her is because she was a blogger – not just a model but one of our own, so to speak. Funny how the online world works.

And another thing, I have a mutual acquaintance who never misses a funeral or a memorial service whether it be someone close or someone distant. She also never misses an opportunity to talk about how sad she is and how awful it is. As a result, it comes across as phony and weird as shit. As a matter fact, I have made my other friends promise, should I have an untimely passing to NOT allow her to attend my funeral. So I don’t like when people get all worked up about death if it’s not genuine. The victim is probably watching it all from somewhere else and rolling their eyes.

I guess I just don’t see it. Some people get really riled up about death, other’s don’t. Had she not mentioned it she would have been scorned as well. And I look at it this way, would Daul have cared? Probably not one iota! So no, the Daul thing continues not to bother me. Now the braggie braggie bit . . .

^Aja: Like you, I was a longtime Daul fan/blog reader and was absolutely gutted about it. Not everyone had to love her work or dedicate an entire post to her passing, but Sea just came off as perfunctory.
Maybe she’s not mature enough to realise that that was what she sounded like. But a young person’s death, to me- especially a death by suicide- is just not something that can or should be addressed in that fashion.

The Daul Kim bit that Jane posted on her blog doesn’t bother me one bit. I think if you were a big fan, maybe you’d be really upset, but maybe she wasn’t a big fan. I was upset because I followed Daul’s blog and wished I had reached out to her more, so yes, I was gutted.

Jane – I think carol upstaged you – sorry but tis true. Her natural beauty and innocence stole the show at the Crillon.
